Online casinos and betting sites are intoxicatingly good fun but playing online carry real risks as all the games are mostly won and lost because chance is the real factor. But it is a paradox, without risk, there is no fun, and this is what makes the games so exciting to play. But the risks of play stretch out beyond the mere gameplay that is available. Casinos as a business come with risk, for the internet is a domain that is open to anyone that can trick players out of their money. This is why we have set up our own regulatory body to approve legal online casinos.

The internet has its good and bad sites. You cannot be naïve to think that in our day in age, that the bad has been eliminated, in fact, the more developed the internet seems, the more open players are of becoming attacked through cybercrime and fraud.

Playing casino game should not come at a greater cost than what you pay to play. We support 100% fair, secure, and safe online casinos that are able to guarantee payments on winnings and games that meet fair play standards.

We use test labs like BMM to make sure the gaming infrastructure and programming is fit for service. Testing of the games covers Mathematical analysis on RTP and odds, Volatility Analysis, Skill-based testing, Peripheral devices, ETG, Live Dealer game testing and much more to ensure that what you play is within the bounds of fair play standards.

Our objectives are clear, in that we look to uphold the customers’ expectations for when they join a site to play, it must be fair and safe when doing so. We conclude with high standards of testing and auditing of the services provided by the operator.

Content Inspection

The content of a casino is the be-all and end-all of why people gamble, it seduces you in and you play for entertainment. It is the very being of the site and this is why we inspect the content and analiye it to be sure that there is no aspect plagiarized and that the services are not overtly spammy with hidden agendas. We look to see if the information provided by the operator is sound and just, that detail is truthful and not lacking any important information that players really should know about.

Our inspections look into each and every aspect of content and should failings be seen; we propose updating the topic on the site with more accurate information. Our position is one of power and failure to comply results in further delays for the operator in getting the business they have established approved and fit for online release.

Legal Compliance

Legal backing is key, without and service is operating illegally. We are that line that sites must cross in order of being legally compliant and those avoiding the operating jurisdictions will have their site removed from the internet.  We audit platforms to make sure they are legally compatible. We test for GDPR regulations compliance, banking and currency, gambling addiction awareness, affiliate marketing, third party disclosure and plenty more to make sure all boxes are ticked before they are placed into a position of trust on the internet.

The legal compliance requirements are the same across the board regardless of the operator’s origins or where the online casino will be made available.

It is also our duty to make legally back sites more aware. The internet is still a hub of illegal activity and the more we can encourage players to adopt a licensed platform, the greater the struggle it will be for those that operate outside of the law. Ending illegal online gambling is a goal that can only be achieved if the players are well educated in the risks and realities of the internet. 

 

Website Security, Risk & Threat Management

When it comes to risk, we can assist in fighting the continuous growth of cyber-crime. Through measures that protect private data and helping to reduce security risks. We have managed to accumulated years of online experience by following and working with online gambling operators, and similar online merchants of all levels. We have expertise in online payment processors and banks, we continue to help and advise our clients in the art of best security practices that enable their businesses to transform and see how there are different ways they can properly manage their client’s information and security through compliance programming.

Because of the never-ending shift in technology, the margin for security has widened the threat and the landscape of online cyber-attacks. In the likelihood of malicious cyber-attacks on an organizations’ management tool or information systems, and this is regardless of their size or the industry they are in.

Our Cyber Security and Information practices deliver to our clients industry-leading services throughout the four corners of the world where gambling is accessible to all. We provide clients with expertise in risk, compliance, strategy roadmap, governance, architecture and technical security testing.

In the field of Risk Management, it is simply the process of calculating and managing risks based on the client’s organization’s policies based on security. The process we encourage businesses to use includes an assessment of people, technologies, and inner processes that can potentially impact on the company’s online security.

When it comes to the risk register and the plan to develop the process of risk or potential threat identification, or evaluation, we look at prioritization and ongoing development of mitigation controls. This is all about what the operator will accept, reduce, and transfer.

We incorporate the Risk Treatment Plan which is built around the results of our assessment of the client’s site. In it contains the actions we recommend implementing to improve the company’s ineffective controls. From this assessment, Each Risk Treatment step comes with a mapped plan that is there to highlight relevant risks; as each of the risk treatments are completed, and the ongoing effectiveness of the new controls improve, there will be a clear sign that the plan reduces the likelihood of risks occurring thereafter.

So, what do we do to bring these key attributes of risk, security, and management? Well, it is all about identifying, manage, and monitor, at every stage. Here is a contextual breakdown.

Identify

1. Defining the very context of the client’s assessment
2. Evaluate Process and People, thusly, using technology for potential forthcoming and ongoing risks
3. Consider likely source of the risk, both as an internal and external source
4. Assess each of the identified risks that come up in evaluation
5. Categorize and prioritize what the likelihood of the impact will be from the risks found
6. Develop a matrix or a risk analysis to determine each of the levels of risk found

Manage

• Avoiding risk
• Transfer risk
• Reducing risk
• Accepting risk

Monitor

1. With your new risk management plan, you can constantly monitor the actions of security
2. Maintain effective measures and put in place insurance cover that is adequate.

Our threat management plan and strategy is delivered via industry-leading security services so that organisations at the other end can focus their efforts on their overall product and their service delivery.

We are highly experienced and qualified security specialists. We utilise our practice of certification with the industry’s leading tools. This enables us to conduct both internal and external vulnerability. When it comes to the conclusion of our carried-out assessment, the operator will have a customised and fully comprehensive report that will identify all the platform’s vulnerabilities and what our own recommended remedy would be to resolve matters.

The penetration test is a computer system, deemed as a network or a web application that looks for security holes and that can be exploited by malicious users, or so-called hackers. We proactively identify the 10 most popular threats from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) in web applications and provide the necessary guidance on how to fix the highlighted vulnerabilities.

Cyberattacks use psycho-manipulation attacks, such as phishing, or click baits. These and many other techniques are used to trick people into accessing classified information. They give attackers legal and authorized access to confidential information. Our security experts use state-of-the-art toolkits to compound the psychological abuse. This can help you understand your company’s security status and define targeted security programs.

We work with industry-leading organizations to ensure comprehensive protection against threats. We offer tools such as NNT Change Tracker and NNT Logger, as well as SIEMS (Security and Event Management) functions and protocols. Regarding vulnerability management, we can offer Rapid7 Nexpose and Qualys VM as cloud services. For penetration testing, we can offer Rapid Metasploit Pro7, which is considered the industry’s leading penetration testing tool. We can also offer a McAfee product package as a partner.

Casino Games and RNG Testing

First, let’s discuss RNG for the purposes of leading us into the games more comfortably and with the awareness of how these games are made.

RNG is a programming sequence or algorithm that is a Random Number Generator. This is common programming used in table games and high-jackpot slots. Our tests make sure the sequencing or coding that besets the wins or losses are not corrupt. The RNG formatting must prove to be random and non-repeating. The testing includes source coding and RNG implementation. The software that performs the RNG testing runs checks over three areas covering statistical chance, sampling output and evaluation of the RNG algorithm.

The RNG software installed by developers is not the only one but is the only one that can be independently tested. The other manufacture is the RTP which logs the Return to Player. This is a percentage evaluation of outcome that is based more on the money put in and paid out by the machine. This is improbable to check because there is no way of knowing the collective amount being fed into each game.

So, with RNG we are able to certify a high percentage of games but RTPs cannot be evaluated.

Game testing is a focused approach to make sure that the services and entertainment provided are fair for all and that they are compliant to the standards of cost-effective services.

The games we test vary and cover online slot machines, and virtual RNG games of blackjack, roulette, bingo, poker, scratch cards, and baccarat.

The testing carried outlooks into the following but are not just limited to:

1. Functional testing of games
2. Game artwork & rules evaluations
3. RTP calculations
4. Emulation testing of games
5. Source code review
6. Game reports
7. The randomness of the game
8. Fair Gameplay

The RNG gaming format is considered by many in the industry to be the fairest form of programming. Often sites will hold a copy of our test report on their site so you can see for yourself that they have passed our rigorous tests.

Platform Testing

This is our focus on the entirety of the website. The platform or casino must be secure throughout and we analyse this by examining logical threats and physical ones. We are able to ensure that a platform or casino is completely secure for their clientele to enjoy and that the website meets all the legal requirements of the regulator and governing body for where that casino will be accessible.

Our testing methodology across all platforms comply with all jurisdictions and involved in the testing but not limited to are:

Security:

• System Reports
• Backup, Recovery and Business Continuity
• Integrations to Remote Gaming System (RGS)
• System logs and game history
• Play Registrations, Accounts and Protection

Within online casinos, there can be more than just the casino feature. Many sites now have multi-platform bases, offering diverse and multiple specialist games. These also are independently checked.

Player Management Platforms:

• Casino Platforms
