eCOGRA Supports U.K. Commission’s Remote Gaming Testing Strategy The U.K. Gambling Commission’s newly published approach to testing online gambling software – which heavily accents “outcome-based” testing in its strategies - may not sit well with everybody involved in the online casino industry. But it has definitely earned the support of a major player in the online casino security business: independent testing agency eCOGRA (eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance), The noted player protection and standards body has applauded the Commission’s new strategy plan, and in particular praised its recognition of the validity of outcome-based testing principles and methodology. "It is encouraging to see that the Commission,” eCOGRA CEO Andrew Beveridge said, “has officially adopted outcome-based testing to assess compliance with their remote gambling technical standards. "This is the sort of thing we have been applying since eCOGRA started operations almost five years ago, and we know from experience that the principles and methodology is effective," In addition to the outcome based testing, both eCOGRA and the Commission require verification the development, implementation and maintenance of the gambling software is representative of best practice standards. "It's worth noting too that eCOGRA goes significantly further than these excellent guidelines in that our RNG (Random Number Generator) testing incorporates every single live gaming transaction on an ongoing basis,” Beveridge added. Beveridge also said the Commission's decision on remote gambling testing was definitely a positive event for the industry, saying he has little doubt the test regime prescribed by the Commission will have a positive influence on the testing methodologies accepted by other credible licensing jurisdictions. "Hopefully the source code vs. outcome-based testing debate is now finally put to rest!" he added. |
