eCogra, the company that gives out seals of approval to
online casinos and
poker rooms that meet their stringent requirements of fair and honest gaming practices, has issued a statement reiterating that now more than ever their seal holders need to demonstrate fair and safe gaming practices.
"Professional and integrity-driven conduct to best practice standards by properly monitored
online gambling establishments is critical to the future success of the industry," said Andre Beveridge, CEO of eCogra.
Beveridge insisted that eCogra will continue to monitor and 'regulate' online casinos. He insisted that all current seal holders will be lose their seal if they find any ill-doings by them in the future.
"We have always expected our seal holders to act responsibly and urge them to continue do so in the current circumstances. The need for safe, fair online gambling venues working to consistent and practical operational standards capable of crossing international borders cannot be overstressed," Beveridge said.
