Jean Corriveau, BMM's Business Development Manager, Lotteries and Online Gaming, said: "BMM is delighted with the outcome of the selection process, as North American lotteries continue to develop in the iGaming space, we are thrilled to be part of this growth.”
“BMM wrote the first set of online standards in 2001 and has been testing iGaming products since 1995, making BMM the first ATF to test in the internet space. BMM clearly has the experience to service key players within the iGaming space globally and is well positioned to fully service North American Lottery's needs," Corriveau added.
As the iGaming space takes shape in North America, BMM will continue to work closely with suppliers to ensure integrity of the products tested within BMM.
BMM has seen an unprecedented interest in online gaming from both product developers and regulators, particularly in the wake of the recent opinion issued by the Department of Justice as well as the emergence of the potential regulation of intrastate internet poker in Iowa. This only added to the intensity of the spotlight on online gaming which had already been significant with the recent adoption of Nevada's internet gaming regulations, as well as the attempts to legalize certain types of online gaming in California and New Jersey in recent months.
