(UK).-UK based, online casino regulator, eCOGRA, has announced a number of changes to their operating standards, to keep them in line with the latest EU recommendations. Much of the change is due to new draft legislation published by the European Commission regarding consumer protection, information security and money laundering.

New eCOGRA Practices

eCOGRA carries out continual reviews of its practices, and has announced these changes to ensure that accredited casinos adhere to strict guidelines.

The information security provisions detailed in ISO/IEC 27001:2013, as well as the European Parliament's proposals for a Fourth European Union Anti-Money Laundering Directive and the EU Commission's common protection of consumers of online gambling services recommendations are the main basis for the updates.

The eCOGRA Regulatory Compliance and eGAP Manager, Jeanne Ferreira has commented on the changes, stating that ''Demand for the eCOGRA Safe and Fair seal continues to grow,'' and that ''The latest amendments to the eGAP Requirements provide confidence that eCOGRA's requirements are keeping pace with international developments.''

Chief Executive Andrew Beveridge has added that the self-regulation of eCOGRA continues to be refined.
