The online player protection body eCommerce and Online Gaming, Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) is scheduled to hold its second global training session in late May. Online casino and poker room operators responsible for handling issues associated with problem and underage gambling will convene in London for two days of intensive training. The first such training session, which was organized by eCOGRA last year, took place in Cape Town, South Africa.
Lectures, homework and practical workshop sessions will provide the participants with tools to identify potential problem gamblers. Their goal is to learn how to intervene and prevent problematic situations from arising. The lectures will be held by a team of specialists from the international Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4).
Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA, was quoted as saying, "Allowing underage or problem gamblers to play is morally wrong, and could have industry wide commercial and legal consequences. Our third party audit teams pay particular attention to compliance by eCOGRA certified casinos and poker rooms and there are very few, if any online gambling venues that can match the effort and commitment our operators have invested in this area."
