In this article we explain and shed light on what is the certification of online casinos, therefore their license, and how the process that allows casinos to operate legally on the web takes place; we will take the process that takes place in Italy as an example, but the process is very similar for all countries that request authorization from casinos. At the end of the article, we at RMV Software Roulette will have our say on the importance of certification for those who play and want to win at online roulette.
Online casinos are quite recent, and have spread a lot in the last 10 years, thanks to the development of the web and the consolidated presence in homes of continuous and stable internet connections.
For many years, however, gambling games that use the Internet have existed in the world, with the first online casino created in 1996.
The requirements for becoming a certified casino
In order to operate legally, the proposed state control bodies, through the guidelines for the certification of gaming platforms, place stringent requirements for operators (online casinos):
Procedure to follow for certification:
- Presentation of the gaming platform;
- Presentation of games (including online roulette);
- Presentation of the Random Number Generator (RNG);
- Presentation of the security of computer systems;
- Game software versioning system.
Tax and administrative requirements:
- Tax office based in the specific country or area;
- High minimum turnover in the last two years prior to the date of the request (for example in Italy € 1,500,000);
- Payment of a large amount for the benefit of the state body (for example in Italy € 350,000).
We immediately note that operators must necessarily be large, with high turnover, and the cost of the operation is also high. This will certainly exclude the presence of small operators in the foreground.
How the certification of online roulette takes place on a technical and practical level
On the other hand, investigating the technical aspect, the state ministry requires a certificate of successful outcome relating to the conformity tests of the gaming platform in question, based on the technical standards associated with a specific law, for example: "Discipline of games of skill as well as of games of chance with fixed odds and card games organized in a form other than a tournament with remote participation".
This is to protect the interests of the players, ensuring a fair, standard functioning and reliable platform.
In practice, this certificate can be obtained by a certification body recognized by the ministry and therefore by the state called the Accredited Verification Body;
The law provides that the gaming software is re-evaluated once a year and constantly monitored (even for a long consecutive period) to avoid anomalies.
The RNG code or the random number generator, that is the program that releases the numbers on online roulette is subjected during this period to various checks including the source code, the mathematical theories behind it, and the functioning and system of the RNG proper.
This at the end of the speech should mean that the generation of numbers takes place with truly random definable results, that is, without correlation between one output and another, and over a very long period a correct uniformity, just what we want to expect both on online roulette and on the physical one.
The certifying bodies do not neglect to evaluate other additional aspects that go beyond the actual online session, such as the correct functionality of access to the gaming account and, through inspections, compliance with the rules regarding physical places, environments, and the machines, the servers, where the game software runs.
The importance of a certified casino for those who play and use roulette bot software to win
In light of all this, as we have always done, we advise those who play to do so on state-authorized casinos, choosing the most famous and well-known ones, and not to access casinos with a bad reputation and not certified, perhaps with tricks such as VPNs.
For those who do not already know, we remember that we, the RMV team, are completely independent from casinos, and we do not sponsor or promote in any way, nor do we have affiliations or strange links to open, this has always allowed us to have a first view always in favor of our users who want to win at online roulette and not oriented to the profit of the casinos, and secondly, objective and impartial when we are asked for advice about which online roulette to choose. Our roulette software has been designed invisible to casinos and is compatible with all 36-number plus zero roulettes.
