All casinos having this seal satisfy eCogra gaming standards: fast payments, safe transactions, random games, honest advertising  and fair play. The seal on the site must be clickable and if you click on it a message confirming that the casino is approved by eCogra must appear, it’s very important, because sometimes fraud casinos upload eCogra image to their sites, it’s not clickable and it means nothing, but in most cases players don’t check it and think that this casino is a safe place to play.

eCogra seal on the online casino means you can trust this casino and it’s environment of safe and fair play. If a casino doesn’t have eCogra seal this doesn’t mean that the casino is not safe, eCogra seal is not so important. I know a lot of safe and reputable casinos which don’t care about eCogra seal and they don’t have it. But if you see this seal on the casino it will additional plus for this casino.

Also I would like to add several words about other watchdogs – independent gambling portals. Probably you noticed that some online casinos have special awards like “CasinoMeister Best Online Casino 2005”, “CasinoPlayer Best Gaming Winner 2006”, “Most Honest Casino Gambling.com” and etc. These awards are based on players’ and casino portals’ ratings, these ratings are independent, and it’s always good when the casino has any awards. Also some of gambling portals  have special team who review online casinos, register there, test their games, their customer support, their payout and make conclusions about these online casinos. These online casinos don’t know about them, because they look like real players, they make deposits, play real games. The final conclusions are based on usual standards: fast payouts, friendly support, random games, good and clear terms and conditions. If a casino meets these standards the independent gambling portal gives it a special award or seal.

So, if you see any seals or awards on the online casino web site, it’s good but it’s better to check these awards and seals on official sites.
