BMM Testlabs approved to test online casino products in New Zealand

BMM Testlabs has been approved to provide online gaming testing and certification services in New Zealand under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026, the company said on 20 October 2026. The approval covers independent testing and certification of gaming products ahead of the country's launch of regulated online casino services.

Scope of approval

BMM Testlabs will perform testing and certification to help ensure gaming products meet New Zealand's technical and regulatory requirements. The company said these services are intended to support fair play, protect consumers, and build confidence in the regulated market. The announcement cites preparations for the country to go live with regulated online casino services.

Company comments and combination with eCOGRA

Kirk White, president of land-based gaming and inspections at BMM Testlabs, said:

"BMM has a long history of supporting New Zealand’s land-based gaming industry, and we’re excited to build upon those relationships as the country moves toward regulated online casino gaming. Our customers rely on us for quality, speed, and service. We’re proud to bring that same commitment to this next chapter of New Zealand’s gaming industry."

The group added that its capabilities are strengthened by its combination with eCOGRA, which brings complementary expertise in gaming testing and certification. The company presented the combined capability as offering broader technical capabilities and regulatory knowledge across global gaming markets.

For operators preparing products, the approval means an additional accredited provider will be available for pre-launch testing and certification ahead of the regulated roll-out. The firm framed its role as meeting the country's technical and regulatory requirements and supporting consumer protections.
