KAHNAWAKE, Canada -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Jackpot Factory, a leading online casino group known for first-rate customer support and a wealth of games, announced today that its VIP Lounge Casino (www.jfviplounge.com) has received accreditation and the coveted "Play It Safe" seal from eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (www.eCOGRA.org).

eCOGRA is the independent standards authority of the online gaming industry, specifically overseeing fair gaming, player protection and responsible operator conduct. Recently, the organization released its findings in the largest and most comprehensive global study report on online gambling that was conducted with Nottingham Trent University.

Andrew Beveridge, CEO, eCOGRA said, "The players' response to the survey is a clear testament to the high regard players have for the eCOGRA certification, however the most important factor underpinning this is the high quality and proven track record of the sites that have earned the seal. We are extremely proud to count the Jackpot Factory Group as one of our approved operators."

"The Jackpot Factory has long been committed to the ethics set forth by eCOGRA," said David Brickman, Spokesperson for the Jackpot Factory. "We were among the first casino groups to implement a responsible gaming program within our casinos. It is truly an honour to be certified by this venerable organization."

Launched five months ago, The VIP Lounge Casino is an exclusive, invitation-only casino that is opened to Jackpot Factory's top players. Casino management carefully reviews gameplay from the other group casinos – All Slots Casino, All Jackpots Casino, First Web Casino, and Wild Jack Casino – and handpicks the best online gamblers to join the elite ranks at the VIP Lounge.
