GLI-33 V1.1 reflects a revision to the core event wagering standard to provide better clarity between technical requirements which would be evaluated in the lab and operational controls and procedures, which would be evaluated on-site post system install. Additionally, this revision enhances sections pertaining to operational controls and procedures, including periodic security testing to help regulators and operators create more efficient and alternative processes for monitoring sports wagering operations. In general, the changes are largely designed to improve the clarity and consistency of requirements.

Each standard in the GLI Standard Series is a culmination of industry best-practices and is continually updated based on industry feedback.  The GLI Standards are true “industry standards” in that they are created using a collaborative approach which involves thousands of gaming industry stakeholders.  These standards are intended to assist regulators by creating baseline technical guidelines which they can adopt and/or utilize in the manner they see fit.  In addition to assisting regulators, the standards are of tremendous value to suppliers who use the standards as a guide in their design and development process, saving both time and expense.  GLI-33 and the rest of the GLI Standards Series are available for free download on the ‘GLI Standards’ tab found at www.gaminglabs.com.
