ABOUT NOVARIS GAMING AUTHORITY
Independent authority, defined powers, international reach.
NGA is an independent cross-border gaming licensing and integrity body. Its authority over licensees comes from binding certification agreements, participating platform and supplier relationships, technical access controls, continuing audit rights and a live public register.
THE SOURCE OF NGA AUTHORITY
Not a decorative seal. A continuing operating condition.
An NGA Licence is a contractual permission to use the NGA mark and remain certified within the declared operator, platform, supplier and domain scope. The operator accepts record-production duties, technical testing, complaint cooperation, corrective action and enforceable status decisions.
Where certification is required within a participating platform or supplier relationship, suspension or revocation can also affect continued access through that relationship. The live register and domain-bound marks change immediately with the recorded status.

WHAT NGA CAN DO
Operational authority that can be verified.
Every power below is tied to the licensing agreement, technical scope and published decision record.
Inspect and test
Require records, reproduce player journeys and run scheduled, complaint-led, risk-triggered or unannounced production checks.
Protect players
Open a financial-conduct audit, preserve transactions, require an accountable response and impose corrective or protective measures.
Suspend or revoke
Invalidate a mark, restrict scope, refuse renewal or terminate certified status when its conditions are no longer true.
Publish verified findings
Issue an evidence-led integrity notice after technical review and a fair opportunity for the affected operator to respond.
Refer across borders
Send documented evidence to relevant providers, aggregators, payment or critical suppliers, and competent public authorities where lawful and appropriate.
COUNTERFEIT-GAME RULE
A verified material counterfeit-game finding is incompatible with active NGA status.
Licensed operators may not offer cloned, unauthorised, altered or falsely attributed games. A verified material breach triggers protective status action; the domain cannot continue to rely on an active green NGA mark while the breach remains established and unresolved. Provider or supplier notification and a public integrity notice may follow the evidence record.
PLAYER-FUNDS RULE
Valid withdrawals are a continuing licence obligation.
Unexplained or systemic non-payment, deficient player-funds records, false settlement information or obstruction of a complaint can trigger a financial-conduct audit. NGA may require transaction records, payment-provider evidence, liability reconciliation, remediation and player communication, then impose conditions, suspension, revocation or public notice according to the verified result.
COUNTRIES AND COMPETENT AUTHORITIES
Cross-border review without a false claim of state sponsorship.
NGA does not act in the name of a particular government. It applies its own contractual licensing standard internationally and requires every operator to identify the national permissions, restrictions and reporting duties applicable to its business.
For each material case, NGA can map the operator, affected player, game supplier, payment route and evidence location to the relevant jurisdictions. Where the evidence threshold is met, NGA may submit a documented referral to the appropriate gaming regulator, consumer authority, financial-intelligence or law-enforcement body, and to the relevant provider or supplier. A referral is recorded as made only after it has actually been sent.
PUBLIC RELIANCE
Trust the live record, not a logo.
The certificate identifies the legal holder, primary domain, authorised aliases, licence class, dates and current status.
The integrity result has a check date and validity window. Expired or failed assurance cannot remain green.
A complaint receipt is not a finding. Public conclusions follow preserved evidence, defined controls and an accountable decision.
