NMi – Czech Republic Technical Standards Requirements

NMi, the global compliance testing and auditing laboratory, is accredited to test and certify in the Czech Republic, for iGaming certification and landbased game machines and systems.

The approval further advances the world-leading gaming laboratory’s coverage in Eastern Europe, with recent accreditations also including Hungary and Romania.

Czech Republic gambling has been legal since the 1990’s for lottery, yet their provisions and legal framework was not sufficient to cope with the market nor with internet gambling.

However, following on from the bill to amend the Czech Republic’s gambling legislation by the Ministry of Finance, Czech Republic in June 2016, this accreditation further adds to our coverage of Eastern European jurisdictions and demonstrates our continued commitment to meet our customer’s needs. NMi is well known for its experience, quality and flexibility of service, and continue to support customers on their worldwide road map to compliance.

The bill, effective on the 1st January 2017, allows EU/EEA companies to apply for online licences. As an EU jurisdiction, the Anti-Money Laundering directive, going through the Czech Republic Government at the end of 2015, has been a key factor in moving the bill along – influencing the Czech Republic Government to further tighten legislation and comply with set EU standards.

The Ministry of Finance has outlined the high level requirements as:

• Full Games Testing
• Operator Requirements
• Back-Office
• Live Dealer Game Testing
• Random Number Generator (RNG) Testing
• Remote Gaming Server (RGS) Testing
• Platform Testing
• Sportsbook Testing
• Self-Exclusion Register.
