eCOGRA Awards First Seals to Online Bingo Sites

Monday February 23, 2009

eCOGRA (e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) is celebrating a double first this month, the organisation's 5th anniversary plus the welcoming into its folds of the first two of many online bingo sites with the coveted eCOGRA Seal of Approval.

Platinum Play Bingo and All Bingo Club are the first internet bingo sites in the history of the eCOGRA organisation to receive the Seal of Approval.

eCOGRA is a non-profit organisation that assures players of an honest and professional service with its accredited online casinos, poker room sites, online sportsbook sites, and now the online bingo sites.

The 'Play it Safe' seal has been awarded to both these online bingo sites only after a rigorous assessment by independent specialists to determine conclusively that:

The bingo games are fair
The online bingo site operates honestly and behaves responsibly
All financial transactions are safe
All Bingo Club operates on the Jackpot Factory Group platform and the eCOGRA seal is proudly displayed on the site

Jackpot Factory VP David Brickman said of the award: "Our poker and casino operations have all qualified for the practical and valuable Fair and Safe seal accreditation over the years, and it's good to know that our bingo operations also measure up to these high operational standards."

Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA , congratulated both online bingo sites on receiving the accreditation, and added: "eCOGRA can look back on the last five years with some satisfaction. It has seen our standards, inspections, monitoring systems, and professional staff expand to embrace all the main internet gambling platforms, from mobile, live dealer, and bingo through sports to casino and poker."

"Going forward we intend to remain at the leading edge of online gambling standards and player protection in a dynamic and challenging high tech industry, constantly ensuring that our standards and systems are current with technology and best business practices."
