Operations from one of the biggest and most marketed casino groups on the Internet,
Cassava feature in the latest announcement of Seal awards by eCOGRA (eCommerce
and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance).
In the third Seal awards announcement this year from eCOGRA, the following
Cassava casinos join 41 other successful Seal operations:
Casino On Net (www.888.com)
Reef Club Casino (www.reefclubcasino.com)
We`re delighted to welcome these new Seal bearers that have passed the rigorous
third party inspection process carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Cassava
presented a significant challenge for the audit process due to its size and
the Compliance Committee was particularly pleased with the way in which the
assessment was conducted, and the response of the organisation to putting in
place the necessary controls and procedures required by eCOGRA's eGAP,
says Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA. `The initiative is gathering momentum
at a gratifying rate and we are currently in discussions with a number of providers
and the casinos using their software. Other casinos are currently undergoing
the inspection process and I am confident that we will soon be seeing a diversity
of operations powered by different software providers on our Seal list.`
Beveridge emphasised that any software provider committed to the ideals of
the organisation and meeting its probity and other requirements was more than
welcome to apply for membership. The goal of the initiative is to guide players
to safe, fair and efficient casinos operating to carefully developed and fully
enforced regulatory standards.
eCOGRA is an independent, strongly funded, non-profit organisation that has
evolved a set of practical operating regulations to ensure fair gaming, player
protection and efficiency. Called the eGAP or Generally Accepted Practices,
the regulations embrace some 15 areas of casino operations. Before being awarded
the eCOGRA Seal members must undergo stringent inspections by third party professional
bodies, and operations are subsequently monitored to ensure ongoing compliance.
eCOGRA has an online complaints facility for any player with a legitimate grievance
against any member casino
