Online Casinos Keep Up the Standards

The argument for continuing a state-run online casinos gambling monopoly often comes down to an issue of the safety of gamblers. That argument has been defeated time after time though considering the increasingly stringent restrictions and regulations in most of the major licensing jurisdictions. The online casinos gambling companies are demanding that countries like Sweden, Germany, France, Greece, and others open their markets to foreign gambling operators. As the European Commission moves closer to mandating that these countries open their jurisdictions, eCOGRA has released a report that urges online gambling operators to uphold the high safety standards that the Commission and others assert that foreign internet casinos possess.

Just last month eCOGRA, GamCare, and other player advocacy groups and regulatory boards worked together to form the eGAP international operational standards for the global online casinos gambling industry. The various organizations and experts on internet gambling policy developed the set of standards to act as baseline requirements that will ensure that the global industry is on the same page in terms of player protection measures and the minimum standards and policies acceptable at online casinos.

The EU online casinos gambling climate is in a time of change right now, and as many countries open their doors to foreign operators, eCOGRA and other groups are working to ensure that there is no backlash from the liberalization of the European gambling industry. The CEO at eCOGRA, Andrew Beveridge, elaborated, "Now, more than ever before it is important that eCOGRA accredited operators adhere to the eGAPs that have taken so much international expert input and effort to construct, providing a set of best practice standards across the operational spectrum that will meet the scrutiny of the most discerning jurisdictions.”

There is no telling when the European Commission will succeed in ending all of the EU state-run online casinos gambling monopolies, but by all indications the Commission Is making prominent strides in opening up these closed markets.
