GAMBLING FEDERATION EXPELLED FROM iGGBA
Final indignity for malware company
Another chapter of the Gambling Federation malware affair closed this week
when the iGGBA issued the following press release announcing the expulsion of
the company from its membership ranks.
"Following an official inquiry
into the allegations of the use of malware in the Gambling Federation's software,
iGGBA has determined that the company is in violation of the iGGBA Code of Conduct
and has thereby terminated Gambling Federation's membership of the Association
with immediate effect.
"The inquiry determined that the Gambling
Federation had indeed intentionally embedded malware in their customers' software
to prevent them from using certain competitor's web sites.
"While
it is regrettable that one of the Gambling Federation's ex-employees did seek
to illegally access and use the Company's customer database, the response of the
company was incorrect and adversely affected customers who are the lifeblood of
the remote gambling industry.
"It is vitally important that the
industry takes action in ensuring that operators and suppliers are providing fair
and fraud free services to customers and the actions of the Gambling Federation
were inconsistent with this approach.", stated Richard Flint, Chairman of
iGGBA."
