 ANTICIPATING THE INCREASING SHIFT
TO INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT
A New Generation of Gamers
While land-based revenue remains solid among older demographics
with traditional slot play, younger demographics continue to lean
toward alternative forms of gaming such as table games and interactive
entertainment. Casino operators are looking for ways to attract new players
while providing social outlets that younger demographics have become
accustomed to. Newly approved legalized online gaming operations are
expanding at a rapid pace, and grey areas still continue to push the limits.

Are You Positioned for Growth?

What started off as incremental revenue has
grown into a multibillion-dollar industry which
could completely change the way we see
gaming in the future. All of this growth, change,
and evolution can be confusing, which is why
GLI is here to help you understand the benefits
and security risks of the ever-changing multi-
dimensional areas of iGaming.

 SECURITY MANAGEMENT IN iGAMING
Data is Money. Secure it Like Fort Knox.
The highly regulated gaming industry is overseen by regulators in each
gaming jurisdiction who establishes technical standards for the offering of
fair, secure and auditable gaming operations within their jurisdiction. Early
regulatory regimes for interactive gambling realized that information security
would be a significant factor that would need to be considered, and as a
result, many iGaming technical standards have included security elements.
These requirements extend to both the technical requirements of the
gaming systems themselves and the internal controls needed to manage the
gambling operations offered through the interactive gambling systems.

Test for Perfection

The only way to ensure the correct functioning of an information security
framework is to test it. Depending on the business requirements of the
organization and jurisdictional technical requirements, testing can take
a number of forms. The scope can be tailored to cover an assessment of
a specific security element’s effectiveness all the way up to a complete
compliance audit of the organization’s entire information systems security to
achieve certification.

 SPORTS BETTING
Knowing the Boundaries and Understanding the Challenges
Sports betting, a long-standing pastime, is the activity of predicting sports
results and placing a wager on the outcome. The frequency of sports betting
varies by culture. Today, bets accepted and reconciled through interactive
means by operators extend to non-athletic events as well, such as reality
show contests, political elections, movie and music award shows, and non-
human contests like horse racing. Consequently, ensuring the accuracy of
odds and settlement of wagers is fair and secure is vital.

Our assessments can be applied to many forms of

sports betting including:

• Online Sports Betting

• Fixed Odds Betting
• Pool Betting
• Parlay Betting
• Betting Exchanges

 Ensure Compliance with GLI

GLI’s testing is an assurance that event wagering complies with appointed

jurisdictional technical standards and best practices. In addition, our processes
ensure wagers are accepted in a fair and secure manner and that resultant
betting outcomes are in accordance with pre-specified rules. Our testing of the
system verifies that all wagers placed are correctly resolved and paid based
on the correct odds and rules corresponding to the game or event.

We also verify that appropriate mechanisms and controls are in place for
adherence to technical requirements associated with the handling of wager
disruptions and cancellations, abandoned events and refunds. Lastly, GLI
analyzes the front-end activity with back-end results and confirms a complete
and accurate log of transactions, performance, and payments are available
upon request from the system for regulatory, taxation, player dispute or other
purposes.

 Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Testing
In addition to being able to provide compliance testing for regulated
Fantasy Sports markets, GLI has pioneered a unique service for fantasy
sports applications. For clients seeking supporting evidence that their
fantasy sports games reflect knowledge and skill of their betters, we
have developed a testing approach intended to demonstrate
exactly that. This testing does not depend on the historical
performance of actual fantasy players and can be applied to
new and old game concepts alike, allowing for such analysis to
take place before new games even come to market.

Defining Skill-Based Play

To establish the necessary contrast in performance
between players of varying skill, GLI programs two types
of simulated players, referred to simply as unskilled and
skilled. These simulated players play against each other,
using historical sports data for the sport in question.

 ISO AUDITING
Auditing that Increases Your Credibility
As the iGaming industry has matured, so have the security requirements of
iGaming jurisdictions. The latest iterations of gambling technical standards
and licensing requirements from many highly regulated jurisdictions utilize the
latest versions of ISO/IEC 27001 as a general security standard and ISO/IEC
27002 as implementation guidelines for information security management in
iGaming jurisdictions. These global standards and guidelines provide flexible
baselines for information security management that can be applied to
iGaming operations, regardless of the variability in the individual businesses
operators.

Some benefits of implementing the ISO security standard(s) are:

• Compliance with legal, regulatory, and statutory requirements
• A process for nformation ecurity and orporate overnance
• Market differentiation with ISO security standard certification
• Increase in overall organizational efficiency and operational
performance
• Minimizes internal and external risks to business continuity
• Continuous protection that allows for a flexible, effective and
defensible approach to security and privacy

 iGaming Glossary
iGaming
Gambling or wagering via some form of computer network such as the Internet or alternate
digital means. This can include not only games played on computers, but also those played
through mobile devices, interactive T.V., in-venue on tablets, or other peer-to-peer networks
mediums.

eSports
eSports (also known as electronic sports, competitive (video) gaming, professional (video)
gaming, or pro gaming) is a form of competition facilitated by electronic systems, particularly
video games; the input of players and teams as well as the output of the eSports system are
mediated by human-computer interfaces.

Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS)

DFS are an accelerated variant of traditional fantasy sports games where players compete
against each other by building a team of professional athletes from
a particular league or competition while remaining under
a specified salary cap. Players earn points based on the
actual statistical performance of the players in real-world
competitions. Wagering is typically structured in the form of
paid competitions usually referred to as a “contest”; where
winners receive a share of a pre-determined pot funded by
their entry fees. A portion of entry fee payments go to the
provider as rake revenue.
