New technical obligations for Serbian-licensed operators center on database and surveillance access for the Administration. Organisers offering special games of chance through electronic communication means must provide the Administration access to their databases, or a mirrored database with replicated data hosted within Serbia. Separately, organisers of special games of chance in casinos, on automatic equipment, and in betting must provide the Administration a live real-time link to video surveillance feeds. A new Regulation on the conditions for repair of gaming tables, automatic equipment and betting equipment, and the method for determining technical validity, was published in Official Gazette No. 78 on 12 September 2025, confirmed directly from the regulator's own published list of secondary legislation. The mirror-server and live-feed obligations are drawn from law-firm secondary commentary on the November 2024 amending law rather than independently retrieved statutory text, and should be read with that provenance in mind.

New implementing bylaws published between September 2025 and May 2026 introduce fresh, codified technical-compliance obligations that did not previously exist under the Law on Games of Chance. A September 2025 instrument sets functional standards for gaming tables, automatic equipment and betting equipment, while a May 2026 bylaw introduces a dedicated ICT-system standard specifically for casino special games of chance. These are FRAGILE regulator-level instruments sitting beneath the DURABLE 2024 statutory amendment, and they represent a genuine expansion of the technical-certification burden facing casino and gaming-equipment operators in particular. No cost figures for compliance with these specific standards were confirmed this cycle, but their introduction alone signals that technical compliance is an area of active regulatory build-out through 2026.
The Administration for Games of Chance has been actively issuing implementing bylaws (pravilnici) through the Official Gazette during 2026, covering jackpot systems, top-up services and technical-equipment testing. This is confirmed directly from the regulator's own secondary-legislation register. A material new obligation within this cycle is that operators running jackpots must now secure an individual authorisation valid for one calendar year, a recurring rather than one-time compliance requirement. The durability of this secondary legislation is fragile relative to the underlying Law on Games of Chance, meaning further revision of these specific technical rules is plausible without any change to the primary statute. This active bylaw cycle raises the near-term technical-compliance burden for both incumbent and prospective operators.
The 2026 secondary legislation reported this cycle introduces a new annual individual jackpot authorisation for operators running jackpots, valid for one calendar year, paired with a mandatory RNG compliance certification requirement and a 20 percent payout-limit cap on jackpot payouts. This is an uncertain-confidence finding, sourced from a single tier-four commercial secondary source (iGamingToday) and not independently corroborated against a primary Official Gazette or Administration citation this cycle; the underlying instrument's durability cannot be assessed as better than fragile pending that corroboration. If accurate, the requirement represents a recurring annual technical-certification cycle layered onto the standing games-of-chance technical framework, adding a certification and renewal burden distinct from the one-time licensing conditions already in force. No other technical-compliance development, such as a change to RNG or server-location standards generally, was confirmed this cycle.
Technical compliance in Serbia remains only partially documented this cycle. No primary Games of Chance Administration text on RNG or RTP/RTS standards was reached, leaving the underlying technical-certification regime unverified against a primary source. What is newly identified is an annual RNG compliance-certificate requirement applying to jackpot-enabled gaming equipment from 2026, paired with a cap limiting jackpot payouts to 20 percent of an operator's annual net betting base. This claim carries only uncertain confidence, resting on a single tier-four source, and its durability is assessed as fragile pending corroboration. Operators running jackpot-enabled equipment should treat the annual certification obligation as a likely but not yet confirmed compliance requirement.
