Spanish Gambling Authorities Approve eCOGRA

eCOGRA, an independent player standards and protection body, was recently accredited as a full testing agency by Independent Administration of State Monopolies, also known as AAMS, the Italian regulator. Now, eCOGRA has announced that the Spanish Gambling Regulator has bestowed a similar status. eCOGRA has been approved to certify and test software for online gaming and the security of information systems for the Spanish market.

How Sites will be Approved by the Spanish Gambling Regulator

According to the Director General of the Gambling Regulation, Spain, professional and comprehensive testing is an essential prerequisite for being approved for a Stage One Spanish license. He said that all the applicants will have to undergo an assessment for both the platform and games.

The assessment will be done by a reputed testing agency like eCOGRA , which the Spanish authorities recognize. If the applicant succeeds in this assessment, then a provisional license will be issued. The applicant will be given four months to prepare a comprehensive and final inspection of games, hosting facilities and operating systems.

When the applicant passes the final examination, a full license will be issued. The Spanish online gaming market is expecting a surge of applications. Due to this, the demand for advisory and testing services is large. eCOGRA has been approved to act as one of the agencies which will conduct the assessments.

Problems eCogra Might Face

After the announcement of the company’s achievement, CEO of eCOGRA, Andrew Beveridge spoke about the fractured nature of the European Union’s regulatory environment and the problems the company might face due to it. Suppliers, operators and testing agencies like eCOGRA face considerable challenge in fulfilling the regulatory requirements of different countries.

According to Beveridge, eCOGRA is very aware of the need to meet the expectations of its clients. It is constantly developing its approach to auditing, to ensure that software providers and operators experience minimum inconvenience. It offers customers an efficient and streamlined auditing process.

The process ensures that licensing in new jurisdictions takes place as quick as possible. Few disruptions are likely to be experienced by real money casino operators if they introduce new system changes and products. Another benefit of eCOGRA is that it has experienced and professional auditors with a proper understanding of the regulatory and operational environments. It has a reputation for maintaining competence and integrity in the field.
