eCOGRA AWARDS INDUSTRY’S FIRST EVER MOBILE GAMBLING PROVIDER ACCREDITATION TO SPIN3
London, 4 June 2009 - Leading full service mobile gambling solutions provider Spin3
(www.spin3.com)`, powered by Microgaming (www.microgaming.com), the
world`s largest online gaming software provider, has today become the
first specialised mobile gambling provider to earn the software
accreditation seal from the independent player protection and standards
organisation eCOGRA.
The accreditation was achieved following a range of comprehensive
software, probity and on-site operating systems inspections by auditors
from eCOGRA`s compliance division, who certified that the company meets
eCOGRA’s best practice business and technology standards applicable to
software suppliers.
The audit confirms that the development, implementation, maintenance and security of Spin3’s mobile games portfolio and back-office systems are representative of industry best practice standards.
Since 2003, the seal has become synonymous with tier one levels of
fair and responsible gaming, professional conduct and superior
operating standards when displayed on an online gambling website.
Some of the most successful and established mobile casinos now bear
the eCOGRA operators` Safe and Fair seal including Royal Vegas
(www.royalvegasmobile.com); Spin Palace (www.spinpalacemobile.com); 32
Red Mobile (www.32redmobile.com) and Wild Jack
(http://mobile.wildjack.com) – all powered by Spin3.
Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA, congratulated the management and staff of Spin3
on the accreditation, commenting that the facilities had been
impressive and were presented for a full and practical inspection in a
very professional manner by Spin3 staff.
`Spin3`s software had already passed with flying colours
during earlier eCOGRA inspections, when some of its clients applied for
our mobile casino operator accreditation,` said Beveridge.
`It was pleasing to see that the same level of attention to detail,
efficiency and fair gaming was found in the other facets of its
business as a provider when our auditors engaged with them on this
wider review. To pass our rigorous review process at the first time of
asking is hugely impressive,` he added.
Matti Zinder, Head of Spin3 said, “To become the first
ever provider of mobile gambling services to receive eCOGRA
certification is a terrific achievement for Spin3, and
recognition or our industry-leading standards, processes, methodologies
and services. The eCOGRA logo is an international mark of best
practice, assuring operators and their customers that our games and
gambling services meet the highest standards of quality, transparency
and integrity, now and in the future.”
