I’ve just let my view be known over at CM. Maybe stupid move on my part, but believe in laying all my cards on the table.
I don’t disagree that eCogra seems to be the best of the long line of organisations we’ve seen step up to the plate; least imo since entering the industry in 2000 in a webmaster capacity.
However, as Joeyl points out the industry is still young. On the other hand lets not forget the looming of those who want to see our industry illegalised.
Sh#t like this (eCogra’s 888.com shielding) imo just gives them more power and more reason to seriously push things like the H.R.4777 and to align other Governments into their own processes and reasons.
eCogra needs to be totally Transparent, imo it needs to monitor casinos 24/7 (it’s not as hard a task as some may lead you to think). Above all eCogra must stand unconnected to anyone who holds any vested interest in this industry, well in my view anyway.
Maybe one day the industry may thank us for taking this stand :clapper:
