Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), a provider of high-quality land-based, lottery, and iGaming testing and assessment services, announced that it has been approved as an Independent Test Lab in North Carolina.

This approval further expands the company’s presence in the US, cementing it as a leading test lab. For reference, GLI is an authorized test lab for 65 lotteries and for 707 markets across the world. The company excels in a variety of compliance-related services, including regulatory compliance, technical compliance, end-to-end testing and full lifecycle compliance.

GLI’s latest approval was praised by the company’s vice president of global lottery solutions, Angela Wong. She expressed her team’s excitement saying that GLI is thrilled to be approved to test and certify for the North Carolina State Lottery Commission.

Our testing and consultation services are unmatched because we combine innovation with compliance and a global reach and presence that gives our clients a world of insight.

GLI Continues to Expand Its Influence and Team

In other news, GLI recently secured accreditation for its testing laboratories in India and Canada. This followed accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).

Back then, GLI said that this accreditation attests to its ongoing commitment to the highest possible quality testing services. For reference, all of the testing specialist’s labs are currently operating under the latest requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

In other news, GLI recently reinforced its team with two major promotions. The company promoted the experienced Ginnie Hollis and Samantha Powell as vice presidents of engineering. Hollis is based in GLI’s office in Colorado, USA, and will take care of the company’s digital operations. In the meantime, Powell, who is based in GLI’s office in Adelaide, Australia, was tasked with supporting the testing provider’s land-based-related operations.

The promotion of Hollis and Powell followed the appointment of Richard Howarth as chief business officer for the APAC region.

Moving forward, FSB will be able to demonstrate that it’s a highly-trusted supplier following the company’s certification from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI). The certification applies to the regulated market in South Africa and provides FSB with the means to expand more aggressively.

The accreditation unlocks the potential of the regulated gambling market in South Africa. This allows FSB to move forward with its selection of products. FSB is already a highly-trusted and respected brand on the African continent but this new certification further establishes it as a go-to and trusted partner locally.

Welcome News for Further Expansion and Growth

FSB CRO Ian Freeman has welcomed the opportunity to be recognized and welcomed in another relevant target market for the company. Freeman added:

We have a very clear strategy of aligning our market-leading sportsbook, platform and casino portfolio of products and services with markets that offer FSB and its partners the best chance to succeed.

The executive further hailed this certification as a continuation of the company’s strategy to work with Tier 1 partners and deliver trustworthy and dependable markets in any market it operates in.

FSB’s platform has already been able to see some excellent results across its partners not just in Africa. The company saw partner operators rake in record numbers during the Royal Ascot horse racing competition, one of the biggest events on the calendar.

The company’s infrastructure provided uninterrupted experience from start to finish. Meanwhile, FSB has also been pivoting towards even bigger markets. The company made a successful first foray in Ontario, Canada earlier this year as well.

As a result, GLI is bringing in Joseph Bunveith who is going to work as VP of government relations and regulatory affairs. Another important appointment is in the face of Kelly Myers who will be working as director of government affairs.

GLI president & CEO James Maida welcomed the new appointments with both of them having experience in the respective field they are going to represent. Maida said:

At GLI, we are continually planning for the future of this exciting and dynamic industry. These proven leaders in their new positions enable us to serve our clients even better in both technology and regulatory advice, empowering our clients to face the future armed with the best possible information and insights.  

GLI president & CEO James Maida

The firm is confident that it is making the right decision as it will be able to navigate and enhance its understanding of government and regulatory affairs as it goes along. This will bring more ability for partners to interact with agencies from both sectors.

GLI Brings the Right Veterans in the Right Places

Both appointments are smart additions and seasoned industry veterans – although not limited to the gambling industry necessarily. Bunveith for example has worked with a number of prominent companies to achieve product launches across Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Steam, and Facebook App.

He has a strong track record in helping develop fantasy sports online gaming platforms and is joined by Myres who has more than 17 years in tribal gaming regulation. She is uniquely capable to deliver on significant results for her company and has worked as compliance and licensing manager for the Cherokee Nation Gaming Commission.

She has similarly collaborated with other tribal nations, including the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma Gaming Commission and the Oklahoma Tribal Gaming Regulators Association.
