most and suggest new poll topics. eCOGRA will reveal the results of each poll on
its Web site.

“We're responding to the needs of players, and finding ways to make their voices
heard - within the industry, by eCOGRA certified operators and among one
another,” said eCOGRA CEO Andrew Beveridge. “Our goal is to help players find
the safest and most enjoyable experiences when gambling online.”
The new Web site also features details on the rigorous inspection processes and
a list of the safest online casino and card rooms.
The launch of new site coincides with the organisation's '100 Seals Campaign' --
a challenge to those operators who have not started the process of obtaining
eCOGRA 'Play it Safe' certification to begin the compliance and inspection
process. This year, eCOGRA aims to increase the number of sites bearing the seal
from 76 to 100.
