Market and requirement depth
Complete one difficult market, product and licence scenario with material exceptions.

Downloadable evaluation tool
Score gambling compliance platforms on completed work—not polished demos.
Weight the decision before demonstrations begin, run identical scenarios and retain the evidence behind every zero-to-five score.
The scorecard is a decision record, not an automatic winner. A high weighted score still fails if a mandatory security, legal, data or commercial condition is not met.
Public product information reviewed
100-point model
Ten criteria, weighted before the first vendor demo.
Score zero to five, multiply by the published weight and attach the evidence. Change the weights to match your perimeter—but do it before seeing vendor performance.

Change monitoring
Detect one relevant change, reject one irrelevant update and explain the decision.

Workflow and accountability
Assign work, add evidence, review, sign off and retrieve the complete history.

Technical compliance depth

Published weights
Total: 100 points
Scoring discipline
A five is completed, reviewable and reusable.
0
No evidence, confirmed out of scope or mandatory test not attempted.
1
Largely manual, future-state or dependent on unscoped work.
2
Partial completion with material gaps or high ongoing work.
3
Scenario completed with manageable limitations and clear evidence.
4
Strong completion with minor gaps and a reusable output.
5
Complete, reviewable, reusable and independently repeated by intended users.
Outcome evidence
The score is useful only when the evidence is retained.
Like-for-like buyer outcome · proof pending
No public league table proves which platform is best for a buyer’s markets and operating model. The buyer-owned outcome is a repeatable weighted decision in which every score links to the same scenario, output, limitation and commercial assumption.
Retain the inputs, elapsed time, corrections, manual work and completed output from every shortlisted supplier. Marketing claims do not replace a buyer-owned test.
Buyer-owned validation
Keep unknowns visible until the evidence arrives.
A supplier can answer privately, in a contract or during a live test. Until then, the correct state is unknown—not zero and not an inferred product gap.
Use identical scope, inputs and preparation time.
Record what exists now, what needs services and what is only planned.
Keep product proof separate from implementation promises.
Contract data return, renewal and exit before selection.
Evidence and disclosure
Claims need proof.
Product pages describe scope. The buyer’s own case must prove accuracy, usability and fit.

Questions buyers ask
Key questions, answered.
How should gambling compliance platforms be scored?
Score each platform against the same written scenarios, using a defined zero-to-five scale and retained evidence. Weight the criteria before demonstrations begin and separate product capability from implementation promises and commercial terms.
What does a zero-to-five vendor score mean?
Zero means no evidence or out of scope; one means largely manual or future work; two means partial with material gaps; three means the scenario is completed with manageable workarounds; four means strong completion with minor gaps; five means complete, reviewable and reusable.
Should feature counts determine the winner?
No. Feature labels conceal differences in depth, data, usability and completed output. The scorecard weights market coverage, traceability, workflow, security, portability and commercial fit, then tests them through live work.
Can vendors receive different demonstration scenarios?
No, not for the scored core. Every shortlisted vendor should receive the same inputs, preparation time, questions and success criteria. Vendor-specific follow-up can be recorded separately without changing the common test.
How should procurement handle missing public information?
Mark it unknown and request evidence. Do not score an unknown as zero unless the supplier confirms the capability is unavailable or fails an agreed evidence deadline. Keep assumptions visible in the decision record.
