eCOGRA Accreditation for Greentube - 12-12-09

December 12 - The eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) independent standards group announced that it had accredited the Austrian software group, Greentube, with its seal of approval.

The accreditation means that the Vienna based group passed the professional inspection and review process established by eCOGRA

During September 2009, a full compliance review was conducted in Vienna, examining multi facets of the group's operations.

eCOGRA examined whether the software development operations, methodologies and management control systems complied with the non-profit group's international standards.

Greentube's receipt of approval from eCOGRA's Seals Compliance Committee also means that the company's games portfolio and back office systems meet best industry practice standards.

Greentube will now be subject to regular reviews by eCOGRA.

"Greentube is a worthy addition to our growing list of accredited and regularly monitored software sealholders, and in addition the company has commissioned our services to provide monthly casino payout percentage and RNG reviews, and annual bingo and poker RNG reviews, using live data," said Andrew Beveridge, the Chief Executive Officer of the eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation Assurance.

The Head of Integration and Development at Greentube, Thomas Kolbabek, spoke of the review process.

"Fortunately, we had already passed the European Gambling and Betting Association standards for backgammon, which are equally stringent, and that certainly helped prepare us for that aspect of the inspection," he said.

"We're very pleased that we were successful in achieving the demanding eCOGRA standards, thus vindicating the considerable investment time, energy and resources that we have made to ensure that our systems and products meet international best practices requirements."
