eCOGRA Suspends Online Casinos
seals
There are thousands
of online casinos on the internet, but the major problems facing online
casinos remain regulation of the industry and proof of security and
integrity. In the past, the United States has seen online casinos be
debated by politicians and lobbying groups, but not much has come to
fruition. In Italy, for example, some online casinos are blocked by
internet service providers. The United Kingdom, for example, is more lax
against online casinos.
The online casinos industry is booming and the debate continues with
many unanswered questions. Are online casinos moral? Are online casinos
legal? Are online casinos safe? Is there a governing body to ensure the
integrity and honesty of online casinos?
There is a body, called eCOGRA – the eCommerce and Online Gaming
Regulation and Assurance organization, that monitors the security and
integrity of online casinos.
Recently, there has been news that one of the top online casinos has had
a search engine optimization market disaster. Other online casinos have
taken notice, and the firm has apologized and is trying to remove all of
the offending material from the internet this week.
Nevertheless, removing all of the offending information from the web is
easier said than done because of the "unorthodox manner of its original
construction and technical implementation."
The online casino group assured the public that it had taken
(unspecified) action against those responsible and it has to be said
that anyone creating this sort of material should be run out of the
industry.
eCOGRA, the online casinos security watchdog has made a statement, which
is signed on behalf of the Board of Directors and the CEO of the firm.
The statement said:
“Over the past several days eCOGRA’s independent directors and I have
been involved in seeking to have an unacceptable search engine
optimisation marketing campaign involving the Jackpot Factory group
withdrawn.
The campaign, which disseminated offensive and even false information to
vulnerable audiences is in the opinion of the eCOGRA Compliance
Committee unethical in both content and intent.
The first priority of eCOGRA was to ensure that this material was pulled
down as soon as possible. To that end eCOGRA complied with its corporate
procedures by first verifying the allegations and then insisting that
the Jackpot Factory group management take immediate action to obliterate
all traces of this material.
Despite eCOGRA strongly emphasising to the Jackpot Factory Group that
the removal of the offending material was of the highest urgency, it
took longer for the Jackpot Factory Group to remove the material than
anticipated due to complications arising from the unorthodox manner of
its original construction and technical implementation. We are informed
that those responsible for conducting this campaign have been
appropriately dealt with by the Jackpot Factory group.
The eCOGRA Compliance Committee has been assured by Jackpot Factory
staff that the offending material has been removed . If any future
traces surface going forward, eCOGRA has insisted on an assurance that
Jackpot Factory will immediately remove these, too.”
