Consumer Advocate Increases Independence

Online gamblers have had an incredibly important and useful ally in eCOGRA, who has become the most respected and well reputed player protection and software testing body in the online gambling industry. Although eCOGRA has demonstrated staunch independence since its inception there were charges in some quarters that its connection to some companies within the industry made it less than pure and as a result eCOGRA has been bought out independently by its own management to give it a complete independent and above board ownership moving forward.

One of the most important affiliations that a good online casino can have is with a group such as eCOGRA as it gives the online gambling consumer that they have an advocate they can turn to with a dispute that will treat them fairly and achieve a fair and just result. From an online casino point of view eCOGRA is essential to have on the marquee because it demonstrates that the online gambling website is being monitored and is above board with the highest possible ethics and standards. Such dual relationships and assets made eCOGRA rise in value and made it too attractive to its management to pass up on the opportunity for an ownership stake.

The transition to the new ownership group was quick and seamless and moving forward eCOGRA will work to be a leading player in the regulatory aspect of the online casino gambling industry. With growth at an all time high it is expected that eCOGRA will play a leading role in assuring that gamers will be treated fairly and have full confidence in the industry.
