Online gambling standards body eCommerce and Online Gaming, Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) has announced that it is holding its second global training session in London at the end of May.

The player protection group has given its stamp of approval to more than 100 top internet casinos and poker rooms worldwide and is promoting the benefits of self-regulation of the online gambling industry.

Online casino and poker room managers will travel to London to discuss issues such as underage and problem gambling, take part in two days of intensive training run by specialists from the international Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4) and meet other delegates.

The London training session will include lectures, homework and practical workshop sessions aimed at helping delegates identify problem gamblers.

A similar eCOGRA training session was held last year in Cape Town, South Africa for websites with the eCOGRA Play IT Safe seal.

Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA, said: “We are pleased with the commitment of our ‘Play It Safe’ operators, who have now included specific responsible gaming measures, aids and advice on their sites and appointed staff to look after this critically important operational requirement.”
