What is a casino audit?
Last updated:
A casino audit is a formal review of an online casino’s operations conducted by an independent organization. Audits verify that the games are fair, the RNG produces genuinely random results, the payout percentages match published figures, and the casino complies with its licensing conditions.
Who conducts audits
Reputable independent testing labs that conduct casino audits include eCOGRA, GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), iTech Labs, and BMM Testlabs. These organizations are accredited by gambling regulators and their findings are relied upon by licensing bodies worldwide.
What audits check
An audit typically covers the statistical distribution of game outcomes (comparing actual results to the published RTP), the integrity of the software, the security of financial systems, and compliance with responsible gambling obligations. Casinos that pass display certification logos on their website, and audit reports are sometimes published for players to review directly.
Ben Barber got into the gambling industry through the poker rooms of London in the early 2000s. After building up a solid grounding in casino, sports betting and poker, he made the move to Malta where he spent close to a decade writing for some of the biggest affiliate networks in the region. A few years ago he relocated to Bali, which shifted his focus toward website strategy and affiliate marketing. The casino side never really left, though. He still writes reviews, how-to guides and in-depth pieces on everything from slots and live dealer tables to crypto casinos and sweepstakes sites. His approach is fact-first: help players understand how online gambling actually works before they deposit a cent.
