If you didn't know already, when it comes to fair online gambling (meaning you get good odds and don't play at any rogue, cheating online casinos), it all begins with the software. There is nothing more important than ensuring the online casino you gamble at uses inherently fair software.

Just like in the land-based gambling world, where slot machines operate according to a software source code, which in turn, powers the Random Number Generator responsible for determining game results, online casinos are powered in the same manner. The software is programmed in its original state, thus making it impossible for casino operators to alter the odds without going unnoticed. This is precisely why gamblers should be weary gambling at online casinos that use their own in-house proprietary software or software platforms that haven't been properly accredited.

One of the industry's most renowned online casino software testing facility is Technical Systems Testing, who recently announced they are to open a London office. This is only fitting, considering the large number of UK based online casinos now using TST certified software, such as the Wager Works powered Virgin Casino, not to mention the best RTG Casinos.

One of the most popular TST certified software platforms, however, is Real Time Gaming, whose online casino licensees like the US-facing Rushmore Casino, have become synonymous with outstanding online gambling. The TST approval, which Rushmore displays on their website certainly carries a lot of weight. Largely identifiable in North America and Australia, TST's expansion into England is a sign of the company's commitment to this blossoming online gambling market.

Last year, TST was approved by the UK Gambling Commission to serve as an official testing house for online casino and gambling software platforms. Need I say more. Congratulations is in order for TST, whose contribution to fair gaming standardization and player trust is invaluable.
