eCOGRA, the leading independent player protections and standards authority for the online gambling industry, has announced that it will be upgrading its Generally Accepted Practices (eGAP) standards for sites looking to earn their seal of approval. The new guidelines are designed to meet the requirements of most regulatory authorities around the world and should help facilitate a single market for the European industry and consumers.
"By aligning our eGAPs with these recommendations, which cover nine key areas of activity, we not only provide a relevant and current roadmap to our accredited sites, but offer an expert framework useful to other operators committed to meeting requirements that are largely common to most regulatory initiatives," commented Andrew Beveridge, the chief executive of eCOGRA.
The upgraded eGAPs will focus on nine key areas of online gambling activity. They are the protection of vulnerable customers, the prevention of underage gambling, combating fraud, protection of privacy, fair gaming, accurate customer payments, responsible marketing, customer satisfaction, and safe operating environment. Those who already carry the eCOGRA Safe & Fair seal will be required to fall in line with the new rules the revised version of eGAPs has been posted by eCOGRA on its web page.
