Bede Gaming wins GLI-19 and GLI-33 certifications for regulated gambling markets

Bede Gaming has secured GLI-19 and GLI-33 certifications after an audit by eCOGRA, adding another credential for operators that need platform vendors regulators already know how to read. For PSPs, acquirers, and banks in gambling, that matters because certification can shorten the “prove it again” part of licensing conversations.

1. Bede Gaming said the certifications strengthen its position as a technology provider for regulated gambling markets. The company framed the result as evidence that its platform technology meets internationally recognised technical standards for security, compliance, and scalability.
2. The certificates were independently assessed and awarded by eCOGRA after an extensive audit of the platform’s technical controls, security measures, operational processes, and compliance capabilities. In other words: not a self-declared badge, but a third-party review of the parts that regulators and counterparties tend to care about first.
3. GLI-19 is a technical standard for Interactive Gaming Systems. The source says it covers player account management, platform security, system architecture, game integrations, transaction processing, audit capabilities, responsible operational controls, and overall system integrity.
4. GLI-33 focuses on Event Wagering Systems, covering sportsbook platforms and online betting operations, including wagering functionality, system security, bet processing, reporting controls, and operational reliability.
5. Bede Gaming said the certifications support its long-term strategy of investing in regulatory excellence as more jurisdictions introduce comprehensive licensing frameworks. The practical pitch is simple: certified platforms can reduce compliance complexity for operators entering regulated markets, while giving regulators and payment partners one more layer of independent assurance.

The source says regulatory compliance is playing an increasingly significant role in online gambling markets across Europe and North America. That is the context PSPs should keep in mind: the vendor certification stack is not just a nice line on a sales deck, it is often part of the due diligence chain before money movement gets approved.
