eCOGRA Offers Assurance

Not all online casinos are independent and fair to internet gamblers; now eCOGRA has developed a continuously running program that will check online casino and poker games repeatedly to ensure that the games are acting as they are supposed to. This new program will allow online casino Web sites the option of putting the eCOGRA seal of approval so-to-speak on their site if their games are up-to-par.

eCOGRA, the eCommerce and Online Gambling Regulation Assurance organization (eCOGRA.org) is primarily concerned with online casino and poker gambling standards, and developing measures to protect internet gamblers. The Total Gaming Transaction Review is the organizations latest method to keep online casinos from running gamers and poker rooms with altered software, or lower than normal wins.

The TGTR data monitoring and analysis process has the potential to bring back credibility in the online casino gaming industry. Now players can have confidence that online casinos and gambling games checked by eCOGRA’s new system are fair to the gambler. A few of the areas the TGTR tests are listed:

• Monthly payout percentage reports for online slots, table games, poker games and all online casino games.
• Monthly poker card-shuffling reviews.
• Bi-annual RNG reports for blackjack, video poker and roulette.

This certification service eCOGRA offers is available to any online casino and poker gambling sites running software from a company that already complies with eCOGRA’s eGAP standards and requirements according to the CEO of eCOGRA, Andrew Beveridge.

He elaborated, “This 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.

“eCOGRA now has the necessary skills, experience and player recognition to undertake this work, enabling us to give it our closer and more transparent and immediate attention. These dedicated resources will allow us greater flexibility to meet the dynamic demands of the [online casino] industry, but more importantly the requirement for safe and fair gaming from the player community.”
