Gaming Associates is an independent conformity-assessment body focused on the regulated online-gambling industry. Its origins trace to Australia's Northern Territory in the late 1990s (Gaming Associates Pty Ltd was formally established in 2004), where its team helped develop early iGaming testing standards. It later opened UK operations (2007) and European operations (2016), and today provides testing, inspection and certification of games, RNGs, RTPs, platforms/RGS and lotteries across multiple jurisdictions, including MGA-approved game and RNG certification.

A seal is evidence, not a guarantee. Certification means a game or platform passed a test against a standard — it does not change the house edge or promise a session outcome, and it is separate from the operator’s licence. Verify seals on GA’s own site.
