eCOGRA’s CEO Andrew Beveridge complimented 32Red on their compliance with inspectors and their excellent results in all tests, which include verifying the levels of player protection (guaranteed payments, information safety;) the standards of fair gaming (software and connectivity) and the company’s approach to responsible gaming community issues such as money laundering and problem gambling.
Beveridge was pleased to award the seal to 32Red, stating:
