The eCOGRA label

The “Safe and Fair” concept

Online casinos now have the opportunity to receive the eCOGRA seal of approval. However, they must prove that their operations are carried out in a professional manner. Online casinos wishing to carry the "Safe and Fair" label must meet the conditions and standards set by eCOGRA. If the required qualities are not present, online casinos will not be able to benefit from such accreditation. The conditions set by eCOGRA are the eGAP (Generally Accepted Practices).

User protection

eCOGRA primarily serves players and offers them solutions when disputes arise with certain online casinos. eCOGRA has several professions, including lawyers and jurists who form a unique mediation service. Once again, the aim of such an organization is to protect the interests of users against virtual establishments that do not adhere to established rules and conditions.
