BMM Testlabs, a global leader in gaming certification, has expanded its operational reach by securing new licenses to offer compliance testing, inspections, and certification services in Botswana and Nigeria. These licenses were granted by the Botswana Gambling Authority and the National Lottery Regulatory Commission in Nigeria, empowering BMM to serve both the land-based and digital gaming markets in these two dynamic African countries.
Since establishing its presence in South Africa in 2004, BMM has grown to become a pivotal player in Africa’s gaming sector, now able to support most of the continent’s regulated markets. The recent accreditation in Botswana and Nigeria underscores the trust and confidence these countries place in BMM’s expertise and commitment to ensuring gaming integrity and compliance.
“We are honored that the gaming authorities in Botswana and Nigeria have demonstrated their trust in BMM to license us for product testing and certification,” said Zeena Rossouw, BMM’s Senior Vice President for Africa. “As regulation gains momentum across the continent, the African gaming market offers even more promise for BMM. With a focus on safeguarding the African gaming industry and all its stakeholders, BMM looks forward to working with suppliers and operators to accelerate the deployment of new technologies and products.”
Founded in 1981, BMM Testlabs has built a reputation as the oldest and one of the most experienced private independent gaming certification labs in the world. The company offers a comprehensive suite of technical and regulatory compliance services across an extensive range of gaming sectors, including Class III, Class II, VLT, AWP, HHR, online/iGaming, sports betting, social gaming, pari-mutuel, and lottery systems.
With this expansion, BMM reaffirms its commitment to supporting the African gaming landscape, fostering secure and regulated environments for gaming enterprises to thrive. As the African gaming market continues to mature, BMM’s role in facilitating the responsible growth of the industry is more crucial than ever, ensuring that gaming practices meet the highest standards of compliance and integrity.
