The platform provider says the standards support regulated iGaming and event wagering market access.
Bede Gaming has secured GLI-19 and GLI-33 certifications, following testing and certification by eCOGRA, the company said.
The company said the two standards are used across a range of regulated markets and are recognised in jurisdictions including the UK, Denmark, Malta and British Columbia. GLI-19 covers interactive gaming systems, including player account management, platform security, operational controls and game integrations. GLI-33 sets technical requirements for event wagering systems used for sportsbook and online betting.
Bede said the certifications are intended to reduce compliance friction for operator partners entering new markets, and to support faster engagement with regulators in jurisdictions that rely on GLI standards. The company also positioned the certifications as particularly relevant for North America, where it said multiple US states use the GLI framework and that newer Canadian markets such as Alberta are adopting similar requirements.
Gerrard Thompson, Head of Risk & Compliance at Bede Gaming, said “We are delighted to have achieved certification to GLI-19 and GLI-33 with eCOGRA. Together with our existing ISO 27001 and WLA-SCS certifications, they provide absolute clarity on the maturity of our platform, processes, and governance controls. They indicate to both regulators and prospective new customers that our technology has been independently assessed against some of the most rigorous standards in the industry, and that Bede is ready to hit the ground running in an ever-expanding list of regulated markets.
“This is especially important in North America, where regulatory expectations are high and speed to market matters. Our goal is to help operators launch with confidence, knowing that the platform behind them is proven, secure and built for regulated growth.”
Aoife Nic Chuirc, Head of Sales at eCOGRA, said “It was a pleasure working with the Bede Gaming team throughout the GLI-19 and GLI-33 certification process. Their commitment to quality and compliance was clear from the outset, and it’s great to see that work recognised with these certifications. We’d like to congratulate everyone involved and wish the team every success as they continue to grow in regulated markets.”
