ECOGRA Online Casinos Too
After the land and online casino and gambling operators in Italy accredited them
as a testing agency for the jurisdiction, ECOGRA received the same status once
more from the Spanish jurisdiction. ECOGRA is an organization independently
promoting the protection of players and industry standards. Regulators from the
land and online casinos in Italy, as well as gambling regulators in Spain, gave
their approval for ECOGRA to provide testing and issue certifications for the
gaming software and the security systems within the Spanish industry. Andrew
Beveridge, the CEO of ECOGRA commended the Spanish regulators’ decision and was
pleased with the licensing opportunities they will be providing for Spain.
Beveridge added that because there is yet a harmonized regulation for online
casinos and gambling to be installed in the EU, ECOGRA finds it a challenge to
create standardized requirements for every jurisdiction. Because of this, the
organization is motivated to fulfill the expectations of the clients and the
risks that are concomitant to auditing. And, they are constantly trying to
develop their auditing approach so that their clients, especially the regulators
of online casino and gambling companies, will receive several benefits related
to reduction of time and effort in licensing and fewer disruptions if there are
new products and services being introduced by the company.
ECOGRA was established in 2003, and for years, the company has already tested,
reviewed and monitored various online casinos and gambling companies worldwide.
They boast of their superior professional in the information technology sector
and the audit sector. As for Spain’s regulator, Direccion General de Ordenacion
del Juego, they see the importance of having to employ a professional testing
agency as a step towards their licensing processes. All applicants are therefore
enjoined to go through the process of assessment and pass it before they are
allowed to operate.
