Two of the important online casino software testers are eCOGRA and TST. These two companies that are seen in the online casino world are both trustworthy, and players can rely on any testing that either of these companies has performed.

eCOGRA

eCOGRA, or the e-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance Organization, is a reputable and much trusted independent standards authority that services the online gambling industry. Players can find safe online casino rooms by checking whether the online casino or other online gambling site has the eCOGRA seal of approval.

eCOGRA not does not only do one check of an online casino and simply give their approval. The organization does a large number of checks, including game audits. Auditing the games is one of the very important tasks that the organization undertakes, since this involves checking that the Random Number Generator used is in fact random. This is very important because players place wagers based on the knowledge that an online casino game is a game of chance, and if there is some kind of bias in the game, the odds could be even more in the online casino's favor, and worse for the player.

eCOGRA also makes sure that the Average Payout Percentage published by the online casino is correct, and will monitor this on an ongoing basis.

Other important tasks that eCOGRA undertakes is to ensure that the online casino follows fair gaming practices, makes payouts in a timely and efficient way, and helps with dispute resolution between players and the online casino should this be necessary.

eCOGRA was established in 2003.

TST

TST, or Technical Systems Testing, performs a somewhat similar job to eCOGRA. This software testing company has offices in Australia, where it was established, and also in Vancouver, Macau, and London.

TST monitors Random Number Generators to make sure that the outcome of land based and online casino games is random and unpredictable, with no bias for the casino or the player. TST uses a number of particularly rigorous tests to ensure that the outcome will indeed be random.

When testing that payouts are the same as the online casino publishes, TST uses data that is actually generated by players in the online casino. This information is collected and published on the online casino's website in a manner in which the average player will understand.

Technical Systems Testing is an independent body that has been servicing the land based gambling industry since it was established in 1993, and now also supports the online casino industry.
