If you plan to grow in regulated iGaming markets, GLI 19 will cross your desk sooner than you think. A regulator mentions it, a lab sends a checklist, or a supplier drops the term during a demo. At that point, you realise something simple: GLI 19 has a real impact on your launch dates, budgets, and long-term strategy.
GLI 19 describes the minimum technical requirements for an online gaming system. It applies to the handling of bets, payouts, random results, player information and reports by your stack. Regulators use it to test the security and integrity of your environment. Use it as a litmus test for your suppliers and to refine your own roadmap.
If you want a deeper breakdown of GLI 19 from a supplier point of view, you can read the full GLI 19 certification article from DSTPLAY on their blog:
GLI 19 Certification and Why It Matters for iGaming Platforms.
That is a description of how GLI 19 functions in the areas of security, game play and reporting in addition to providing further explanation of how the latest iGambling systems implement the standard.
What GLI 19 Actually Checks
Think about what happens every time a player logs in, spins a reel, or withdraws a win. GLI 19 cares about each of those steps. It looks at:
- How player data stays safe
- How your random number generator works
- How results turn into game outcomes and payouts
- How balances change and get recorded
- How your reports allow an auditor to retrace events
In short, GLI 19 asks: can you prove what happened and show that nothing unfair took place?
DSTPLAY is built on those questions are you can always play. DSTPLAY operates on a GLI 19-certified game engine and math models that were vetted by third-party labs. This provides your compliance team with a solid foundation when you encounter a new market or a new set of rules. Rather than depending on nebulous commitments, you can cite tried-and-true logic and a framework that fits regulator expectations.
Why DSTPLAY Deserves a Spot on Your Shortlist
You see many content providers and system suppliers in this space. Some talk about graphics. Others talk about bonuses. GLI 19 forces a more serious discussion.
Here is where DSTPLAY becomes interesting for you:
- DSTPLAY runs games on a GLI 19-certified engine
- DSTPLAY relies on lab-tested math models
- DSTPLAY offers detailed reporting that supports audits
- DSTPLAY focuses on mini casino content that fits mobile play
- DSTPLAY supports growth across multiple regulated markets
That mix helps you move faster while still taking regulation seriously. Instead of stitching together systems with unknown gaps, you can lean on a stack that already maps to a recognized standard and adapt it to your brand, your markets, and your acquisition plan.
If you want a central engine that handles game logic, communication, tracking, and reporting on top of a certified core, look at DSTPLAY’s Game-Engine System.
How to Use GLI 19 in Your Next Vendor Call
Next time you speak with a potential partner, take GLI 19 with you as a checklist. Ask questions like:
- Can you show proof that your core engine follows GLI 19?
- How do you handle logs, round-by-round data, and reports?
- What safer-gaming tools come built into the system?
Then compare those answers with what DSTPLAY already shares. GLI 19 will not go away. Rules tighten each year. The upside for you: by choosing a brand like DSTPLAY that treats GLI 19 as a design rule, you turn a complex standard into a practical advantage instead of a constant headache.
