General
Precision and reliability define our methodology for testing Return to Player percentages (% RTP). Our approach, widely endorsed by leading online gambling jurisdictions, undergoes rigorous scrutiny and continuous enhancement by tertiary educational institutes worldwide.
-
Scope
The Return to Player percentage, or % RTP, serves as the expected return on bets wagered in a specific online gambling game over an extended period. This crucial metric is meticulously calculated using either a theoretical or simulated approach, tailored to the unique characteristics of the game in question.
-
Process
Our testing service employs a comprehensive evaluation process, gathering evidence on simulations based on large sample sizes,to determine if theoretical return to player is achievable for players. Our team of mathematicians develops sophisticated programs to analyse if pay combinations converge to their expected probabilities. Specialised simulator programs are produced to handle the complexity of multiple different betting combinations, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
Our expert testers assess games based on design characteristics, including % RTP, contributions from the different game modes such as base game, feature games, and jackpots. The resulting report conclusively determines whether each game’s payout falls within a statistically acceptable interval, based on the games volatility.

We brought a new type of game to market that hadn’t been offered to players before. eCOGRA helped us break certification into manageable stages. That clarity made the difference between feeling stuck and feeling ready.

Onboarding a new testing lab is never easy, but working with the eCOGRA team has shown us what true commitment and reliability look like. Even though we’re still fine-tuning the process, their full support, understanding of our complex games, and dedication to meeting deadlines make a real difference.
