Underage Online Gambling Prevention Measures Taken

The newest campaign for eCOGRA is the prevention of underage gambling, which several governments, including Great Britain, have announced to be a growing problem. In order to expand their coverage, eCOGRA is partnering with the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4). The move is intended to develop more comprehensive guidelines that would specifically prevent underage gambling, and require casinos to comply on a steady basis.

Call them revisions if you will, but eCOGRA is planning to make the new rules a part of their Generally Accepted Practices, which any online casino seeking the groups approval must comply with. In addition, all eCOGRA approved online gambling sites will be audited on a consistent basis by third parties to insure continued compliance.

G4 has done well for themselves, developing excellent fair practice standards at many large online casino poker sites, including pokerroom.com. And considering the non-profit status of the England based eCOGRA, some collaboration between two giant online casino regulators is great news for online gamblers. Additionally, G4 has announced that it is partnering with the Interactive Gaming Council and an extensive network of highly successful online poker establishments, further strengthening its presence in the online casino community.

In the meantime, look for new requisites soon that will not just increase the safeguards for underage online gambling, but will keep casino gambling software fair and random, and many an online casino running reputable website establishments.
