iTech Labs<\/strong> (legal entity iTech Global Pty Ltd) is a Melbourne-based independent testing laboratory<\/strong> founded in 2004, specialising in Random Number Generator (RNG)<\/strong> testing and Return-to-Player audits for online casino games. Per our licensing methodology<\/a>, we classify iTech Labs as a boutique RNG specialist<\/strong> operating under ISO\/IEC 17025 accreditation through Australia’s National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n iTech Labs has issued consultant-signed RNG and game-integrity certificates since 2004 under co-founder Kiren Sreekumar (retired 2023), with Principal Consultant Geoff Nicoll and Senior Consultant nAni Srinivasan among the leadership retained through the company’s next chapter.<\/p>\n On 19 May 2023, the GLI Group<\/strong> acquired all outstanding shares in iTech Global Pty Ltd, which now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GLI Australia Pty Ltd \u2014 retaining its brand and operationally independent testing decisions while coordinating with the parent group’s global resources. iTech Labs’ staff contributed to the development of the Australian Internet Gaming Standards<\/strong>, now used in multiple forms by regulators worldwide.<\/p>\n In July 2025, parent GLI was itself acquired by CVC Capital Partners<\/strong> through Avalon Buyer Limited \u2014 placing iTech indirectly under CVC ownership via the broader corporate structure.<\/p>\n iTech Labs’ certification scope centres on Random Number Generator (RNG) testing, Return-to-Player (RTP) audits, game integrity certification, and platform compliance. The lab issues two main certificate types: Random Number Generator Certificates for studio software and Certificates of Assurance covering broader game integrity and anti-bot verification.<\/p>\n Game types tested include slots, table games (blackjack, baccarat, roulette), virtual sports, video poker, and multiplayer tournament formats covering poker, bingo, and backgammon. RTP audits use actual server data submitted by the operator on a periodic basis rather than laboratory-only simulation.<\/p>\n Specialised services include source code review with cryptographic fingerprinting, scaling tests for slot game outcomes, anti-bot certification (notably for rummy and skill-card platforms), and Provably Fair methodology verification for cryptographic gaming sites.<\/p>\n iTech Labs has certified major operators and studios across the iGaming industry, including NetEnt, Gamomat, SOFTSWISS, KamaGames, August Gaming, Play Games24x7 (RummyCircle), and Octro Poker \u2014 a client base spanning slots, poker, and emerging-market real-money platforms.<\/p>\n iTech Labs applies Marsaglia’s “diehard” tests<\/strong> for statistical randomness \u2014 an industry-standard battery of statistical tests for validating RNG output. The lab verifies that generated numbers are unpredictable, non-repeatable, and uniformly distributed before issuing certification.<\/p>\n Each RNG submission undergoes source code review with cryptographic fingerprinting of the certified code, plus scaling tests for slot outcomes. Certificates reference the specific standard tested against \u2014 typically the UK Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards, Malta Remote Gaming Regulations S.L.438.04, or jurisdictional equivalents.<\/p>\n iTech maintains a single primary ISO\/IEC 17025 accreditation through NATA, reflecting its boutique scope; broader 17020 and 17065 services are available through the GLI parent group. Certificates are signed by two consultants \u2014 typically Principal and Senior \u2014 and operators pay iTech for certification work as standard across major TIC laboratories.<\/p>\n Among the iGaming testing laboratories, iTech Labs occupies the boutique RNG specialist niche \u2014 engineering-focused rather than ADR-providing, and smaller in scale than its GLI parent. The lab regulators turn to for granular Random Number Generator integrity verification using the Marsaglia diehard test methodology.<\/p>\nWhat iTech Labs Certifies<\/h2>\n
