US-based igaming and sportsbook platform supplier Bet.Works has been granted one of the first concurrent Gaming Laboratories International GLI-33 / GLI-19 certifications for sportsbook operations.

Bet.Works has completed pre-compliance testing of its sportsbook platform against the GLI-33: Event Wagering Systems standard. These standards offer a definitive roadmap regarding betting integrity and a way to move forward responsibly in the post-PASPA era.

The US sports betting market is estimated by Morgan Stanley to see approximately US$400bn dollars being wagered annually by an estimated 44m US citizens.

Bet.Works founder and CEO David Wang said: “We are pleased to have completed this part of our business operation. GLI is the global leader in authentication of gaming technologies and it was a pleasure to work with them through this process.

“This GLI certification verifies that Bet.Works complies with GLI-19 and GLI-33 technical standards, thus allowing Bet.Works to pursue second phase product approvals with regulatory licensing jurisdictions that require their own proprietary product certification or jurisdictional/internal lab testing.

“We feel strongly that acquiring this certification will expedite our licensing process in many jurisdictions that will be legalizing sports betting in the US and look forward to working with business partners and regulators in that regard.”
