GREENTUBE WINS eCOGRA SOFTWARE ACCREDITATION
11 December 2009
Austrian software provider commissions full
range of eCOGRA services
Austrian software developer Greentube I.E.S AG has
joined the growing number of online gambling software
providers that have passed a professional inspection and
review process by the independent player protection and
standards body eCOGRA.
The process includes
on-site and highly detailed inspections by an audit team
tasked with ensuring that all aspects of the applicant's
software development operations, methodologies and
management control systems comply with the international
standards enshrined in eCOGRA's generally accepted
practices (eGAP).
Compliance Manager Shaun
McCallaghan said that the investigative compliance
review for Greentube I.E.S AG was conducted at the
company's Vienna base during September 2009 and examined
all aspects of the multi-lingual online bingo, casino
and poker software used by Stargames.
These were
found to be fully compliant, and the eCOGRA Seals
Compliance Committee subsequently approved accreditation
for the company's products, which must be regularly
reviewed going forward.
The audit confirms that
the development, implementation, maintenance and
security of Greentube’s games portfolio and back-office
systems are representative of industry best practice
standards.
Thomas Kolbabek, Head of Integration
& Development at Greentube said that the review had been
tough, thorough and practical.
"Fortunately, we
had recently 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 in time, energy and resources
that we have made to ensure that our systems and
products meet international best practice requirements."
eCOGRA chief executive Andrew Beveridge said that
Greentube's commitment to safe and fair gambling and
respect for players was illustrated by the high levels
of professionalism the audit team had encountered during
the review.
"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," he said.
