I re-checked with eCOGRA and there are non-MGS casinos currently undergoing the rigorous inspection process, so we should see something emerging from that in the not too distant future.
They are also in discussions with several other software providers interested in getting their licensees certified and monitored, so it's early days yet.
There are one or two posters, especially on
WOL who have made it their business to slam this initiative every time the name comes up. They presumably have their reasons for doing this, but it is imo a pity that they are so intent on taking a negative view that they are condemning the organisation before it has had a chance to show what it can do for the player and for the industry.
I believe most gamblers are reasonable people who will give it that opportunity.
