Which organization certifies that a game meets the commission's regulatory specifications before it is approved by the gambling regulatory commission?

• A. Independent Testing Laboratory
• B. Gaming Board
• C. Regulatory Commission
• D. ITL

Answer: (D)

Independent testing by an ITL provides the objective verification that a game meets the commission’s regulatory specifications before the gambling regulatory commission grants approval. The ITL runs standardized tests on the game’s math model, random number generator, payout structure, security controls, and software integrity to ensure fairness and compliance. This certification gives the regulator a reliable, independent basis to decide on approval. The regulator itself administers oversight and final authorization, but the primary testing and certification come from the independent testing laboratory. ITL, standing for Independent Testing Laboratory, is the term used for this testing body.
