eCOGRA Improves Standards

For a new or established online casino gambling Web site, the eCOGRA (eCommerce and Online Gambling Regulation Assurance) seal of approval is significant. As new players enter the internet gambling world every day, they are looking for ways to ensure that the online casinos they frequent are fair and reliable. And one way to really ensure this is to look for an indication that the internet gambling site has gone through testing, has great player reviews, and reliable customer service.

eCOGRA is a watchdog group that specifically focuses on the online casino industry and the company’s seal of approval means that the internet gambling site has consistently shown fair results and practices for gamblers. And in an effort to increase the legitimacy of the fairness testing even more, eCOGRA has appointed a team to run and monitor its new testing program, Total Gaming Transaction Review (TGTR). This new program gives the group’s “Gold Seal” even more weight in the online casino gaming industry. The TGTR makes the testing process ongoing so that online casinos are expected to maintain their standards over an extended period of time rather than through the older testing process which was much shorter.

The CEO of eCOGRA is confident that this new process is a positive step toward further monitoring the online casino Web sites and will offer an added level of safety for players who gamble at eCOGRA approved sites. He comments, "[The TGTR] enables eCOGRA to obtain a sufficient level of comfort that the games are being professionally developed and are inherently fair before monitoring the ongoing results, and we have implemented systems which enable us to provide updated reports within two weeks of month-end on the online casino and poker websites without any effort from the operator."
