Independent iGaming testing and certification, based in Africa.
We check that casino games, sportsbooks, gaming machines and the systems behind them are fair and work as they should, then certify them for regulators such as Kenya's Gambling Regulatory Authority, so you no longer have to send products overseas for testing.
by design
Why Africa needs its own test lab.
For years, African operators and studios have sent their games and systems to Europe or to a single laboratory in South Africa. It costs hard currency, it takes weeks, and the lab sits a continent away from the regulator reading the report.
Kenya's Gambling Control Act 2025 created a licence for testing and made certification of gambling equipment and software a legal requirement. Fairmetric is built to do that work here, to international standards.
Make certification in Africa as trusted as anywhere, and faster than it has ever been.

Four steps, no surprises.
Scope agreed up front, progress you can see, and approvals kept current after launch.
Scope
We go through your submission and target markets, then agree exactly what needs testing. You get a fixed quote before work starts.
Test
Our engineers run the mathematics, functional, RNG and security checks. You follow each stage, with a Technical Account Manager on hand.
Certify
You receive the report and certificate for the regulations and jurisdictions you are entering, ready to send to the regulator.
Maintain
We keep approvals current with periodic audits, and handle changes, reskins and renewals before they become urgent.
A large, regulated market, tested abroad until now.

Four commitments behind every report.
Fair play
Games pay what their rules and maths say they pay, every round, in every market.
Player protection
Limits, self-exclusion and player funds work as described, so players are protected in practice.
Responsible conduct
We act impartially and confidentially, and say plainly what we found and why.
Regulatory compliance
Every report is built for the regulator who will read it, to the standard they apply.
Built to the standards regulators rely on.
A certificate is only worth what stands behind it. Fairmetric is being built to these international standards, with accreditation through KENAS, the Kenya Accreditation Service, a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement for testing.
Accreditation in progress
Testing laboratories
General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This is the accreditation behind our test reports.
Inspection bodies
Competence, impartiality and consistency of bodies performing inspection, for on-site and field compliance work.
Product certification
Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services. This is what stands behind the certificate itself.
Information security
How we hold your source code, game data and commercial information under a controlled, audited management system.
We hold no stake in what we certify. Our only product is a verdict you can rely on.
- Every risk to impartiality is identified, recorded and removed, or we decline the work.
- Advice on a product and the certification of that product are kept apart.
- Staff pay is never linked to the outcome of a test.
- Read the full impartiality and independence policy.
Kenya first. Africa next.
A laboratory's reports count only where a regulator accepts them, so we publish our status in every market and never claim recognition before it is granted.
Recognition status
Updated as each recognition is granted.
Everything in one place.
Order certifications, watch them progress and download your documents without chasing an inbox. The portal opens to clients at launch.
Simple ordering
Order a new certification in a few clicks, with the scope agreed up front.
Real-time tracking
See every order and every market from one dashboard.
Documents in one place
Reports, certificates and invoices stored together and searchable.
Renewal reminders
Notice of re-audits and renewals well before they fall due, plus relevant regulatory news.
A named account manager
A Technical Account Manager for anything the portal cannot answer.
An independent lab that behaves like a partner.
On the ground in Africa
Local turnaround, your time zone, and a lab that sits close to the regulator rather than a continent away.
Built for cross-border recognition
Built to ISO/IEC 17025, with accreditation through KENAS, a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement for testing.
Built by insiders
Founded by people who have submitted games and run compliance inside operators and studios.
Independent by design
We certify for the whole market. That independence is what makes the certificate worth something.
Full scope, one lab
Games, random number generators, platforms, sportsbooks, security and inspection under one roof, so you are not stitching labs together.
Modern and fast
A client portal, automation where it helps, and a named account manager for everything else.
