ECOGRA SEALS FOR ANOTHER TWO ONLINE CASINOS
Live Web group passes second regulatory review
Two more quality operations joined the roll call of online casinos awarded the
eCOGRA Seal this week with the December 2 announcement that Kasino Grand Bay and
Lake Palace Casino.com had passed independent inspection.
Five other casinos again passed the exhaustive eCOGRA review with flying colours
at the same time and had their Seals renewed. These are Jupiter Club.com, Jackpot
Wheel.com, Casino Grand Bay.com, Fortune Junction.com and Bella Vegas.
eCOGRA CEO Andrew Beveridge says that other operations are currently under consideration,
and that the eCOGRA initiative to present the online gambling community with a
wide range of safe, honest and efficient online casino venues continues to gather
momentum.
"The latest seal awards bring to 51 the top-class casinos that have committed
to our enforced self-regulation", he said.
eCOGRA requires that member casinos are financially stable and have adequate reserves
to cover wagers. The probity of casino management is scrutinised, together with
player protection measures, payout times and financial facilities, games fairness,
responsive Support and general operational efficiency. Policies have to be in
place for communicating with clients and dealing with player complaints, and satisfactory
technical capabilities and anti money-laundering systems are critical.
eCOGRA is a non-profit, non-partisan body with a full time staff in London, England.
The first online casinos were accredited in early 2004, and since then a steady
stream of online casinos has committed to the eCOGRA ideals and achieved Seal
status.
Approved casinos are identified by a Seal, and commit to a set of professional
operational practices which are independently enforced through inspection and
monitoring by major international business groups. The infrastructure includes
a Fair Gaming Advocate for any player disputes that cannot be resolved at casino
level.
