Independent gaming authority reveals this week that it is employing more staff.
In a further sign of how much the online and mobile gambling markets have taken off in recent years, independent standards, testing and certification authority eCOGRA this week revealed it is expanding.
eCOGRA expansion
eCOGRA has selectively recruited 10 professional staff members in the fields of chartered accountancy, certified information systems auditing and software test engineers, Executive Director Tex Rees revealed in a recent management update. It has also made significant financial investment in new audit software and programs, internal control systems and testing laboratory infrastructure.
Rees said the latest expansion would extend eCOGRA's capacity to service a growing client base of online gambling operators and software suppliers who have chosen the company to test and monitor their certification work in regulated markets.
More operators on board
eCOGRA was founded in 2003 when online gambling was still in its infancy, but it has grown from strength to strength and now tests most of the leading operators in the industry. It recently signed a deal with Swedish software development firm Net Entertainment, and has won an eGAP standards and monitoring contract with Scandinavian operator Paf.
Bet365 is just one of the online gambling giants that have signed up eCOGRA in the past year, as part of a policy of ensuring regulatory compliance in a diverse range of newly reformed European and global markets.
