Today, the organisation holds approvals in 47 global jurisdictions, including 10 U.S. states.
The expansion into Colorado supports the growing demand for independent testing and certification services in North America, driven by the continued growth of regulated iGaming markets. The new office strengthens eCOGRA’s ability to support operators, suppliers, and regulators with a comprehensive suite of services, including:
- Product and systems certification
- Software and platform testing
- RNG testing and certification (Random Number Generator)

This expansion reinforces eCOGRA’s commitment to ensuring safe and fair online gaming practices across both emerging and established markets. With a dedicated U.S. presence, eCOGRA supports clearer communication, jurisdiction-specific testing workflows, and predictable delivery timelines across regulated markets.
“Our expansion in the United States reflects our long-standing commitment to quality, speed, and service in the global iGaming industry. The Colorado office strengthens our ability to support certification and testing requirements across North America as regulated markets continue to evolve,” said Will Shuckburgh.
