Spain’s DGOJ Launch Verification Seal

By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated May 11, 2018

To operators who have exceeded all requirements established by the Authority

Spain’s gaming authority Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) has launched a verification seal which will be awarded to licensed operators who have exceeded all the requirements established by the Authority.

The seal will serve to reassure players that the operator has complied with the DGOJ’s various technical and legal requirements, including:

Clear and transparent rules of the game and the right to be informed of them.
Honest game guarantee, “no cheating or scams”.
Security in deposits, payments and collections.
Identification of the participant (proof of identity and age to prevent access to minors).
That the internet gaming operator has been trained, and is supervised, by the DGOJ in offering safe gaming practice.

The seal will not be awarded to serve as a gaming credential on social media gaming channels.

A video on safe play has been released on the DGOJ’s portal under the Responsible Gambling tab as part of the initiative.

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
