eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance is more commonly known as eCOGRA. This multi-faceted organisation was founded in London, in 2003, to aid in the testing, accreditation, and maintaining of player protection and standards in online gambling.
In the marketplace, eCOGRA is one of the most recognisable, having audited many of the world’s top online casinos, sportsbooks, and other sites.
eCOGRA most commonly awards the Safe and Fair Seal alongside the Certified Software Seal to signify the approval of online gambling brands.
eCOGRA has itself sought accreditation in the form of an ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 certificate. This enables the organisation to perform legitimate and recognised third-party audits. Any successful audits will result in online gambling brands receiving ISO/IEC 27001:2013 accreditation.
The Safe and Fair Seal is for operators that have proven an ability to ensure play protection, fair gambling, and all-round responsible behaviour. Operators must comply with eCOGRA’s Generally Accepted Practices (eGAP).
This seal is geared towards software providers and will also call for them to adhere to eGAP requirements. Software providers shall be audited annually, with eCOGRA focusing on development, control, security, and other factors.
eCOGRA has produced a broad list of eGAP requirements that cover protection of vulnerable players, prevention of underage gambling, combatting of fraud and crime, privacy, player payments, fair gaming, responsible marketing, customer support, and a generally safe, secure, and reliable operating environment.
