The Visualize Group has completed its acquisition of eCOGRA, a London-based provider of testing, inspection, certification and compliance services for the regulated gaming industry, for undisclosed terms. The deal was first announced on June 30 and closed after receipt of customary regulatory approvals and clearances. eCOGRA joins BMM Testlabs, which Visualize acquired earlier this year, as the firm builds a gaming TICC platform covering both digital and land-based markets.

The combined business holds licenses or accreditations in more than 800 jurisdictions, including nearly every jurisdiction worldwide with legal, regulated gaming. That positions it to support suppliers entering newly regulated markets from day one. BMM Testlabs is led by chief executive Martin Storm, and eCOGRA by chief executive Will Shuckburgh.

“Closing this transaction marks an important step toward building a generational business in regulated gaming: a testing, inspection, certification, and compliance platform spanning both digital and land-based markets,” said C. C. Melvin Ike, founder and managing partner of Visualize. “Martin and Will bring complementary experience and a shared commitment to the rigor and reliability that regulators and operators depend on. We’re confident their leadership will position the business to meet growing demand for high-quality independent testing and certification.”

Visualize was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in New York. It makes concentrated investments in mission-critical, services-based companies, many of which operate in regulated markets. Weil, Gotshal & Manges and Greenberg Traurig acted as legal advisers to Visualize on the deal.
