eCOGRA

Established in 2003 and based in the United Kingdom, eCOGRA is a leading independent and internationally approved testing agency, specialising in the testing, inspection and certification of online gambling software and systems.

eCOGRA was founded as a self-regulatory body in 2003 to monitor the practices of fair gaming, player protection and responsible conduct by operators, suppliers and service providers in the online gaming industry.

At a time when the industry was largely unregulated, several prominent stakeholders recognised a need to implement a best practice framework for operational standards that ensured ongoing player safety. eCOGRA’s Generally Accepted Practice (eGAP) Requirements have continued to evolve with developments in technologies and international regulations, and demand for the eGAP service offering remains very strong. The ethos of impartiality and independence remains a key aspect contributing to the success of eCOGRA.
