2009 Greentube Wins
eCOGRA Software Accreditation Austrian software
developer Greentube I.E.S AG has joined the growing
number of online gambling software providers that
have passed a professional inspection and review
process by the independent player protection and
standards body eCOGRA. The process
includes on-site inspections by an audit team
tasked with ensuring that all aspects of the
applicant's software development operations,
methodologies and management control systems comply
with the international standards enshrined in
eCOGRA's generally accepted practices
(eGAP). Compliance
Manager Shaun McCallaghan said that the
investigative compliance review for Greentube I.E.S
AG was conducted at the company's Vienna base
during September 2009 and examined all aspects of
the multi-lingual Online Bingo, Online
Casino
and Poker
software used by Stargames. These were found
to be fully compliant, and the eCOGRA Seals
Compliance Committee subsequently approved
accreditation for the company's products, which
must be regularly reviewed going
forward. The audit
confirmed that the development, implementation,
maintenance and security of Greentube's games
portfolio and back-office systems are
representative of industry best practice
standards. Thomas Kolbabek,
Head of Integration & Development at Greentube
said that the review had been tough, thorough and
practical. "Fortunately, we
had recently passed the European Gambling and
Betting Association standards for Backgammon, which
are equally stringent, and that certainly helped
prepare us for that aspect of the inspection." he
said. "We're very
pleased that we were successful in achieving the
demanding eCOGRA standards, thus vindicating the
considerable investment in time, energy and
resources that we have made to ensure that our
systems and products meet international best
practice requirements." eCOGRA chief
executive Andrew Beveridge said that Greentube's
commitment to safe and fair gambling and respect
for players was illustrated by the high levels of
professionalism the audit team had encountered
during the review. "Greentube is a
worthy addition to our growing list of accredited
and regularly monitored software sealholders, and
in addition the company has commissioned our
services to provide monthly casino payout
percentage and RNG reviews, and annual bingo and
poker RNG reviews, using live data." he
said. Spin
Palace Casino
and Golden
Reef Casino
are both approved by eCOGRA. |
