This restriction was actively enforced in August 2026, when AGCO issued a C$70,000 penalty against supplier Booming Games for deploying a feature that undermined this protection. Separately, Standard 4.08 requires that any game be certified by an AGCO-registered Independent Testing Laboratory, or receive Registrar approval, before being provided to any gaming site, and the deployed configuration must remain within the bounds of that certificate. Together these two standards establish both a pre-deployment certification gate and an ongoing conduct obligation, and the Booming Games penalty demonstrates that AGCO treats post-certification drift from the certified build as an enforceable breach rather than a tolerated variance.
