Yes I noticed those announcements, thanks. I think there are a few eCogra members making up the RGA and EGBA (Unibet etc) so their support is not that surprising I don’t think.

Still a good thing though. Hopefully we’ll see similar endorsement from regulators/EU governments and the EC.

cheers

Another positive step was also taken today when both the EGBA and RGA came out and publicly endorsed CWA 16259 and encouraged EU Member states to use it as a guide to regulation and player protection measures….

Clive Hawkswood from teh RGA…

This agreement is not limited by national boundaries but will ensure protection for players across Europe.”

Sigrid Ligne, Secretary General for the EGBA…

“I am confident that the CEN agreement will help and inform the many Member States currently regulating the market to achieve a high level of consumer protection.

It will also provide invaluable input for the European Commission’s upcoming Green Paper consultation on online gambling and the follow-up measures that are needed to ensure consumers can play in a European Union regulated environment.”
