- Wednesday, 17 May 2006
The online regulatory agency eCOGRA is leading the battle for responsible and trustworthy online gambling sites. eCOGRA has announced a new campaign titled "100 Seals Campaign." eCOGRA has handed its "Play it Safe" seal for 76 online gambling venues and the through this campaign eCOGRA hopes of reaching a 100. In a day with questions regarding the regulation of the gaming industry, eCOGRA now wants to head the helm of the efforts to make Internet poker and gambling a respectable industry, free from the possible taint of wrongdoing.
Currently eCOGRA has more than a dozen gambling sites undergoing eCOGRA's third-party inspection and monitoring process. The "Play It Safe" seal helps to attract and retain players and tells the world that these sites place players' needs: trust, honesty and fair gaming, above all else. While it is extremely likely that eCOGRA will reach their magic mark, more rooms need to go through the process of review from eCOGRA to help advance the respect of the gambling industry worldwide.
eCOGRA will attempt to get their message to the online gamlbing world during the eighth annual Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo (GIGSE) 2006 in Montreal, Canada. On May 17th, the chairman of eCOGRA, Michael Hurst, will host a discussion for attendees called "'Self-Regulation: Best Practices to Play It Safe." Panelists for the discussion will include noted poker player and online gambling regulation promoter Roy Cooke, players' advocate Ted Loh and Beveridge. | |
