What happened

Visualize Group, a private investment firm, completed its acquisition of eCOGRA in late September 2026.

BMM Testlabs is one of the longest-established product compliance testers in the global gaming industry. Both are widely accepted by regulators across multiple jurisdictions, including PAGCOR and key APAC licensing bodies.
