In a gaming industry increasingly driven by regulation, transparency, and technology-led oversight, credibility is no longer determined by innovation alone. It is earned through independent validation, proven system integrity, and the ability to meet the highest global standards for compliance and operational reliability.

This is why Sharp Vision’s successful attainment of GLI-19 Certification for its Central Monitoring Solution represents a significant milestone not only for the company but also for Africa’s evolving gaming ecosystem.

Founded in 2022, Sharp Vision develops SaaS solutions for regulatory supervision, with a focus on supporting public authorities in the monitoring of regulated gaming markets and associated financial flows. Its solutions are currently deployed in Senegal, Mali, Benin, Guinea Conakry and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company has also been recognised by several industry awards, including RegTech of the Year, Africa and Compliance Innovator of the Year at the Global Regulatory Awards 2025.

The certification, awarded following a comprehensive independent audit conducted by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), confirms that Sharp Vision’s monitoring platform meets internationally recognised standards for security, data integrity, auditability, and system reliability. As one of the most respected testing bodies in the global gaming sector, GLI’s independent assessment provides strong assurance that the platform can support modern regulatory oversight while maintaining the highest levels of operational performance.

At a time when regulators across Africa are seeking more efficient ways to monitor gaming activities, protect public revenue, improve compliance, and strengthen consumer protection, the importance of trusted monitoring infrastructure cannot be overstated. Central Monitoring Systems have become a critical component of modern gaming regulation, providing governments and regulators with the visibility required to oversee gaming operations in real time. However, the effectiveness of these systems depends on one critical factor: trust.

The GLI-19 certification process is designed to verify that monitoring platforms are secure, accurate, transparent, and capable of generating reliable data that regulators and operators can confidently depend upon. During the certification process, Sharp Vision’s Central Monitoring Solution underwent extensive testing across multiple technical and operational

areas, including cybersecurity controls, data management processes, transaction traceability, reporting capabilities, system resilience, and overall platform integrity.

The successful completion of this process places Sharp Vision among a select group of technology providers whose systems have been independently validated against globally accepted standards.

According to Pierre Otto, General Manager of Gaming Laboratories Africa, certifications such as GLI-19 remain essential to maintaining confidence across the gaming value chain.

“Certifications such as GLI-19 play a vital role in ensuring the integrity, security, and reliability of gaming systems, providing confidence to regulators, operators, and players across the industry.”

For Sharp Vision, the achievement reflects a deliberate commitment to building technology that goes beyond functionality. It is about creating systems that can withstand independent scrutiny, support regulatory objectives, and deliver the transparency required in increasingly sophisticated gaming markets.

As governments continue to prioritize transparency, revenue assurance, and responsible gaming, Sharp Vision’s GLI-19 certification stands as a powerful endorsement of its ability to deliver the secure, reliable, and future-ready solutions required to meet those ambitions.
