In the dynamic world of casino gaming, regulatory compliance is paramount. Online and land-based operators and suppliers must adhere to a multitude of standards established by gaming regulators to ensure fairness, security, and integrity in their operations.
One of the key strengths of BMM Testlabs is its ability and recognition to test,
inspect, and certify to any standards established or adopted by gaming regulators.
Whether it’s the standards of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the UK Gambling
Commission, adopted third-party standards such as GLI or BMM standards, or
customized standards from regulatory bodies in emerging gaming markets, BMM
Testlabs has the expertise, resources, and regulators’ trust to assist clients in
meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements. BMM’s reports are accepted by the
regulatory authorities of every regulated gaming jurisdiction worldwide.
Yogonet recently had a chance to talk with Travis Foley, Chief Government and Regulatory Officer, one of BMM’s most experienced executives, about the company’s capabilities and services, particularly for new, expanding, and emerging markets like Brazil and Peru.
