eCOGRA - Online Gaming's Big Present?
eCOGRA - A Gift To The Industry is a must read. (watch out for the popup advertisng)
It is nice to know someone thinks Cassava - 888.com and Microgaming funding their own watchdog will inevitably result in the online gaming industry ridding itself of it's "stigma" and will be therefore accepted into "all realms of society".
Ecogra - A Brucie Bonus For All Online Casino Punters?
I look the gift horse in the mouth that is Ecogra and see no action regarding advantage players being accused of bonus abuse, merely for following the precise casino terms and conditions.
Assured Game Fairness?
No action regarding publicising the TGTR payout verification system, therefore players have to simply trust PWC SA that the games are fair. This while the independant 3rd party Ecogra "assures" the public the game is fair. Think about it.
Ethics For All?
No action on the malware/scumware/spyware/adware ethics issue, unless it involves another unsealed software supplier (gambling federation). This while not having the staff nor time to even comment in public about the issue of varied adware based marketing practises, utilised by their own sealed casinos and poker rooms.
Spam?
Don't mention spam - it is not the casinos fault, it's just that their buddies are so naughty, - not Ecogra's remit apparently (unless dealt with privately).
Comment.
A present to the industry? - Ecogra? - righteo. Not until they do something noteworthy for the player, that other player advocates have not been already doing since year dot.
