Top Internet Casinos Promoting Responsible Gaming
Just two years ago this summer, there was international alarm that youths, some as young as 11 years old, were signing up, en masse, for online gaming accounts. However, that seedy scenario no longer prevails as the online gambling industry has embraced "effective measures" to promote "responsible gaming."
Sources indicate that more than 100 leading Internet casinos -- and online poker rooms -- have implemented the new standards, and received a boost to their efforts in late May when online standards and player protection body eCommerce and Online Gaming, Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) held its second global training session in London.
"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," said Andrew Beveridge, chief executive officer of eCOGRA. "Our 'Play It Safe' operators, have now included specific responsible gaming measures, aids and advice on their sites and appointed staff to look after this critically important operational requirement."
