eCOGRA Seals Suspension

eCogra’s Compliance and Advisory Services recently did an onsite review of these casinos, which was part of a normal seal renewal process.

These revealed a failure to comply with eCOGRA’s Generally Accepted Practices. So they decided to suspend the seals pending investigation of the following sites:

www.challengecasino.com- Challenge
www.goldenreefcasino.com- Golden Reef
www.ibigcasino.com- I Big Casino
www.musichallcasino.com- Music Hall
www.nostalgiacasino.com-  Nostalgia
www.ukcasinoclub.com- UK Casino Club

These Casinos’s Management has been advised of this action, and was asked to comment on the findings.  There will be more information once these investigations are concluded.
