This post should start with an announcement that the name of a previous one is a lie. Viaden Media does not have three certificates of integrity from the most reputable independent testing facilities. Viaden Media has actually obtained THREE of them. We are proud to receive another Random Number Generator certificate. This time we suffered through a long certification way of iTech Labs due diligence testing.

I can’t but mention that the certification process was hard enough, but our RNG managed to pass all the tricky tests successfully. Though it is not the first time when our software is subjected to a thorough testing and audit, we always think about the success as of a victory of ours. Viaden Media is aimed at keeping its reputation of a reliable business partner focused on delivery of the most reliable software solutions, supreme in their quality. We create our software focusing on the main requirements imposed on casino solutions by all highly-regulated jurisdictions.

iTech Labs has evaluated shuffling for single deck (without joker and with 1 and 2 jokers), 4 decks, 6 decks and 8 decks of cards (all without jokers). iTech Labs has also conducted scaling tests for Dice games, Roulette games (American and European), Keno game, Bingo game and Spinning reel games (slots). The shuffling and scaling tests were conducted on large enough samples to give the calculations sufficient statistical power.

As the Certificate of Integrity issued to us goes: “TST successfully completed the evaluation of the Viaden Media RNG on 15 April 2010 with no issues of non-compliance identified. TST has verified, though mathematical and statistical analysis, that the Viaden Media RNG distributes numbers with sufficient non-predictability, fair distribution and lack of bias to particular outcomes”.

We have always been highly committed to fair play and player protection. We distribute only best quality casino software products to contribute to the development of friendly online casino environment, safe to be played in. Our software is 100% fair and shows no deviations to the side of dishonesty.

We have previously been certificated by GLI – another testing company accepted by all highly regulated jurisdictions – but still decided to pass testing of one more certification company. We consider it to be beneficial primarily for ourselves, as if any performance incorrectness was found we could fix it before we sell an ill-functioning solution to any operator. But, as above mentioned, no deviations were found. It has once again proved our professionalism and deep industry expertise.

Kentucky, a haven for gamblers who want to bet on horse racing, has hit a setback in its efforts to stop unregulated online casino gambling. In a 2-1 ruling Tuesday, the Kentucky Court of Appeals said the state does not have the jurisdiction to seize 141 online casinos’ Internet domain names in an effort to keep them from operating in the state. The ruling also said a Franklin Circuit Court judge cannot hold further hearings on the issue. “This is a tremendous victory for Internet freedom and the rights of Kentucky residents who enjoy playing online poker,” said John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, in a statement. It has been estimated that about 13,000 Kentuckians play the online casinos. Jay Blanton, a spokesman for Gov.

No decision has yet been made on whether to appeal it to the state Supreme Court,” Blanton said. (more…)

Barney Frank – the chairman of the US Financial Services Committee – has introduced a bill that would legalize and regulate online gambling in the country. The bill is called the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act of 2009 (IGRCPEA). Though this new law can be considered similar to Frank’s previous bill called Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007, it is a more through carefully worked out law, where the main emphasis is laid on customer protection. This emphasis can convince oppositionist of online gambling legalization of the necessity of adopting the bill. The viewpoint of the previous law opponents was based on the children and problem gamblers concern. But the additions to the newly created bill carefully stipulate those controversial aspects.
