Technical Systems Testing (TST) is internationally recognized and independent accredited testing facility on the ground and the online gambling operations. Established in Australia in 1993 and also has offices in Vancouver, London and Macau.

TST audits and certifies that online gambling operations are fair, secure and auditable. It also certifies that the gaming operations to comply with industry standards and meet legal requirements imposed by the licensing jurisdiction. Certificates issued by TST are accepted by software vendors, licensors, the online casino operators and the Internet gaming community.

As for online gaming concerns two aspects of the audit are crucial TST. One is the test of random number generator (RNG). In the online casino games the results have to be unpredictable but fair. For example, roulette players should not be able to predict the next number. But with a large number of turns of each issue should have been called with the same frequency. In online roulette this is achieved by the RNG, which uses a complex mathematical algorithm to generate random numbers. These random numbers are then assigned to the numbers on the roulette. The same process is true for other casino games online. Therefore, if the random numbers generated by the RNG are fair and unpredictable then the numbers of roulette or cards in blackjack or dice thrown on the dice are fair and unpredictable. TST evaluates both the gross balance of the RNG and the output after having been allocated to specific results for the bias using a number of standard techniques such as General RNG analysis, DIEHARD battery of tests and the final result of testing distribution.

The critical aspect of the concerns of other TST's evaluation of the games. The games are first evaluated for the correctness of source code, images, functionality and specific features of the game. But most important are the calculations of payments made regularly, using real data generated in the actual operations of the online casino. The average payout percentage is the amount paid by the online casino for every $ 100 wagered. This figure is calculated over the period set for each group game and every game as well. TST reports of these results through a certificate that is placed in the public domain by the casino operator. Players can compare actual payments offered and decide whether to play at the casino or not.

When the online casino software has been tested by TST all stakeholders are assured of the accuracy and credibility of the TST results due to the experience brings to the table due to their independent status. The licensors are easier to license operations that have been tested by TST, software vendors are more readily available operator customers if the software has been tested by TST and online casino operators easier to attract traffic if its operations have been audited by TST.
