eCOGRA Aims to Reduce Underage and Problem Gambling at Online Casinos
The practical use of effective measures to promote responsible gambling at over 100 top Internet casinos and poker rooms will receive added impetus at the end of May when online standards and player protection body eCommerce and Online Gaming, Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) holds its second global training session in London, UK.
Today, online casino and poker room managers are concerned and committed to resolving the problems surrounding underage and problem gambling. Managers responsible for handling these issues around the world will converge on London for two days of intensive training by a team of specialists from the international Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4). Last year a similar session was held in Cape Town, South Africa for eCOGRA sealed sites.
Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA said that the course is part of an ongoing requirement for online casinos and poker rooms holding the "Play It Safe" seal to have trained members of staff overseeing effective responsible gaming measures."
Because online gaming is so popular, attracting many millions of players worldwide, responsible operators know that keeping their site and their players safe is critical to their long term business goals and the overall good of the industry.
