2008 eCOGRA's
Influence Spreads Five years on
from its launch, the independent player protection
and standards body eCOGRA
continues to widen its sphere of influence through
carefully selected associations with industry
websites of substance and integrity. The most obvious
collective in this operational endeavour is that of
the operators to whom eCOGRA provides best practice
standards that are maintained to high levels
through monitoring and enforcement. Operators are
divided into four categories, each with dedicated
requirements appropriate to activity:
Online
Casinos,
Online
Poker Rooms,
mobile gambling operations and major business
groups. A commitment to
business professionalism and a desire to
distinguish properties as tier one operations in
terms of efficiency and fairness is a common
motivating factor among operators seeking an eCOGRA
accreditation. And it is a major commitment,
because every aspect of the property is examined in
detail for compliance with eCOGRA's best practice
requirements in the areas of software fairness,
management probity, administration, finance,
customer service and support, responsible gambling,
privacy, dispute procedures and marketing
systems. To date, a total
of 119 online gambling venues have passed the
exhaustive inspections and achieved the tier one
status of eCOGRA's revocable Safe and Fair seal,
submitting to continuous monitoring and regular
in-depth reviews. These operations, which can be
viewed on the eCOGRA website at ecogra.org,
represent many of the most well established and
successful online gambling companies on the
internet. Webmasters The need to build
relationships, protect players and communicate
through reputable Internet gambling webmasters has
seen the development of another level of activity
by eCOGRA, following approaches by many well
established gambling information portal
owners. This level
permits linking with professionally run and
integrity driven online gambling information sites
whose webmasters share eCOGRA's player protective
ideals and the objective of honest and ethical
conduct in the industry. To date, 103 websites have
signed up as part of this scheme. |
