As the almost exponential growth of the online gaming business continues, the unfortunate likelihood for rogue traders and unlicensed companies looking to cash in on unwary players also grows. Accordingly, gamers are becoming far more reliant upon utilising reputable sources of up-to-date information to evaluate the credentials of any would-be casino.
Thankfully, the market has responded quickly to this threat and has embraced the philosophies and practices of eCOGRA, the number one casino watchdog as voted by you. The primary objective of eCOGRA is to provide player protection, by providing comfort to the player that the games are fair, the player will be paid timeously and treated fairly, and that the operators will behave responsibly. Players will be assured of this when they transact with online gaming sites displaying the eCOGRA Seal of Approval. In order to be awarded the eCOGRA Seal, an online gaming operator needs to be a software licensee of an eCOGRA member, satisfy eCOGRA that their operations have been, and will continue to be, conducted in a highly reputable manner, and comply with eCOGRA's Generally Accepted Practices. These practices are also known as "eGAP" and stipulate a comprehensive list of minimum requirements and suggested practices addressing player protection, fair gaming and responsible operator conduct. eCOGRA's constitution ensures that the independent directors are solely responsible for determining which operators ultimately qualify for the Seal. So when you see the seal; relax, enjoy and play without worry for you know that you're gaming in the safest of hands.
