Many are relieved to hear about the launch of online gambling as the NFL returns and Michigan casinos continue to be affected by the coronavirus.
This week marked another significant milestone as Gaming Laboratories International officially commenced operations in the state of Michigan, making it a crucial step forward in the gaming industry within the Great Lakes State.
Before their launch, the Michigan Gaming Control Board has given authorization to GLI to conduct testing and certification for mobile sports betting and online casino games.
Obtaining certification from labs like these is an essential phase in the regulatory process. Prior to launching, licensees are required to ensure that all sites and games are certified. Licensing and the enactment of rules by the state legislature are the primary obstacles that need to be overcome in order to establish online sports betting, online casinos, and online poker.
The anticipated launch of online gambling in Michigan is expected to take place around Thanksgiving, while a virtual public hearing regarding the proposed rules will be conducted by the board on September 23rd.
BMM Test Labs has also applied for authorization
According to a memo sent by MGCB Executive Director Richard Kalm to operators and suppliers, GLI has become the first independent testing lab (ITL) approved in Michigan. However, BMM Test Labs is currently under review.
Kalm stated that the board aims to make a decision on BMM within the upcoming weeks.
Such testing is required by Michigan’s expanded gambling laws from December, along with the proposed regulations for internet gaming and sports betting.
Before using any platforms and internet games, they need to be approved by the board. To obtain approval, products are required to be submitted to an ITL (Information Technology Licensing) and receive a certification letter from them.
According to Kalm’s memo, all costs related to testing and evaluation services from an ITL must be covered by providers and suppliers.
GLI experienced in iGaming testing
Since 1989, GLI takes pride in having certified almost 2 million items and testing equipment for over 475 jurisdictions.
The company’s headquarters are located in Lakewood, NJ and it operates laboratories across all six continents.
The company’s website also mentions its affiliation with the Gun Lake Tribal Gaming Commission, the regulatory body overseeing Gun Lake Casino in Wayland.
GLI received high praise from Melinda Coffin, the former executive director of the Gun Lake Tribal Gaming Commission.
Since the inception of our gaming operations, the Gun Lake Tribal Gaming Commission has been fortunate to collaborate with GLI. Our organization takes pride in the long-standing and prosperous relationship that has developed with their team of skilled professionals. The continued provision of exceptional services by their highly trained experts remains commendable. We eagerly anticipate many more years of fruitful collaboration with them.
According to a LinkedIn profile bearing her name, Coffin has joined Saginaw Chippewa Gaming Enterprises, the operators of Soaring Eagle Casino Resort in Mount Pleasant.
