eCOGRA

e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) is more than just a casino reviewer. This neutral third party, non-profit organisation, oversees 'fair gaming, player protection, and responsible operator conduct.' Online casinos that meet eCOGRA's standards in these categories are permitted to display the organisation's seal on their website.

The eCOGRA seal means that a casino has passed inspection, and meets the highest standards in the industry. eCOGRA checks to see that games are programmed fairly, that customer service is professional and quick, and that payouts are delivered on time and honestly. Savvy players look for the eCOGRA seal on a casino's website.

eCOGRA also investigates complaints about online casinos, maintains lists of approved casinos and reputable portals, and provides news items about online casino regulation. eCOGRA is based in the UK, but is a major player in the Canadian online gambling world too.
