Jackpot Factory Online Casinos Take on New eCOGRA Program
13 September 2005
The Jackpot Factory Group revealed yesterday that it has successfully integrated a responsible gaming program, created by eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) into its online casinos. The group, representing All Slots Casino, All Jackpots Casino, First Web Casino and Wild Jack Casino and Poker, believes behaving in a proactive and responsible manner on the subject of responsible gambling is essential for the online casino industry.
In following with eCOGRA standards, the group's online casinos now offer advice on recognizing possible gambling problems and gambling in a responsible way. They also allow players to take the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago's (NORC) classified diagnostic test, which is used by psychologists across the nation.
"The Jackpot Factory Group cares first and foremost about our players,” commented David Brickman, Spokesperson for the Jackpot Factory Group. “As such, we take the issue of responsible gaming very seriously. Our managers have been in constant discussion with eCOGRA to learn how best to implement this program. We are pleased to be a part of this important effort and proud that the high standards of integrity held by our casinos are worthy of the eCOGRA seal.”
"eCOGRA strongly believes that the prevention of underage gambling and identifying and helping problem gamblers is a core objective in running an integrity-driven online gambling operation with player protection front-of-mind. Jackpot Factory is among the first to implement our suggested program, which includes staff training in this critical area," added Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA.
"Our mission is to promote safe, fun responsible gaming and for this reason we're committed to do our role in stopping underage gambling,” David Brickman continued, “Casino managers have been trained on the latest technology and ID techniques to detect red flags as soon as they happen.
"Gambling on video slots, or any other casino game for that matter, is a great form of leisure and entertainment, but for some it can potentially be dangerous. If a player needs a cooling off period, we're going to encourage them to do so. As one of the largest online casino groups focusing on slots and roulette, the Jackpot Factory is taking the bull by the horns."
