The big fear of many customers who
visit online casinos is security. Recently, many online casinos
players have started to believe that poker playing software
programs are operating in parallel to human players. Is this
true? Are these poker bots ruining the integrity of the game?
Are secure online casinos impossible to achieve with the
advancement of computer bots?
Online casinos devote teams
of programmers to ensure secure online gambling on their sites.
As bots continue to advance, online casinos will need to keep
one eye open to guarantee secure gambling at online casinos.
Conspiracy theories or not, security remains the top casino
priority online, and now a firm called Ecogra is handing out
certificates to online casinos with “Seals” that show they are
reliable and secure. Poker players all across the world will now
be able to locate the online casinos “play it safe” seal on
seven new quality online casinos and poker sites that are
labeled as the most reliable or the best in the business.
These new online casinos
that are included by Ecogra are committed to the international
standards of ecommerce and have passed stiff game fairness and
operational efficiency tests. The online casinos will be
continuously monitored as well. As a result, customers at online
casinos can rest assured that their favorite poker sites meet
the highest standards of the internet today. There are over
seventy online casinos that are now licensed as safe places to
play according to Ecogra. Ecogra’s CEO Andrew Beveridge said
that each operation underwent extensive independent testing and
inspection by professional teams and from international business
services and auditing groups. The CEO added, “This is to ensure
compliance with the standards and requirements of eCOGRA
concerning operational efficiency, fair and responsible gaming
and player protection.” The CEO also said that further top tier
online casinos are currently under construction and that his
organization’s initiative and essential mission statement is to
provide the online gambling community with a wide range of safe,
honest, and efficient online gaming and poker room venues. And
he believes this vision is now well established and handling a
substantial share of the available online gaming business in a
global sense.
The organization also
specifically requires that the poker seal shows that each casino
is financially stable and has adequate reserves. The player
protection measures are stressed, as are payout times, financial
facilities, game fairness, responsive support, and overall
operational flexibility and efficiency. Policies have to be in
place for communicating with clients and dealing with player
complaints in order for a site to qualify for the seal and also
the site must have technical capabilities that are against money
laundering schemes or systems. The CEO concluded by saying that,
“Interest in the eCOGRA standards is growing from players,
casinos, leading poker rooms and software providers alike, and
membership continues to be open to any software provider that is
prepared to commit to our goals and principles.” |
