From the letter written by Nicolas Lev and I quote “we have set an example and operate according to ethical principles which are second to none. This is why we particpated in the bold move of setting up E-cogra”
So what is E-cogra? but before I do perhaps it is beneficial to discuss some of the disturbing attributes of adware.
Adware comes in many different forms some honest some not. Dishonest adware basically come in two malcious forms spyware and malware both are a form of adware.
Spyware – is a type of malcious software who’s function is to take partial contol over a computer without informed consent of the computer operator. A program designed to watch over the user collecting data and sending it to the program that had created it. All sorts of data can be collected by such programs. For instance the more malcious versions can actually record what you type on your keyboard, some may give the user popup adds ect…
To conclude spyware is basically designed for commercial gain through these processes.
Malware – Won’t bother covering this topic but is more exteme than the first.
888.com bares the ecogra seal. To keep things short as possible online casino’s and poker rooms that carry this seal, according to ecogra is to “create a safe and fun online gaming experience” I fail to see how its’s safe to play at 888.com
Of course we as webmasters know all about this stuff, but your average player would likely not. This I find disturbing, the fact ecogra turns a blind eye to these facts is absurd.
Now I will go fetch some of real dirt. greek39
