Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

European gaming & betting association is a regulatory body established in 2017 to replace the European betting association of 2003. It was founded by seven leading gaming operators in Europe including:

  • Bet-at-home;
  • Interwetten Gaming Limited;
  • Party Gaming;
  • Digibet;
  • Bwin;
  • Carmen Media Group;
  • Expekt Sportwetten.

It’s a non-profit organization whose finances come from membership fees and donations made by gaming operators.

Features of EGBA

One of the most outstanding qualities of EGBA is the set of rules gambling operators must comply with before joining the association. These requirements include:

  • Committing to responsible gaming
  • A casino must allow being audited from a third party
  • The casino has to offer 24/7 customer care services
  • A casino has to allow players to set their limits

Another distinguishing feature about this association is their ability to curb gambling operators from money laundering. For you to be a member of the association, you must promote social responsibility as the association is responsible too.

Duties of the European Gaming & Betting Association

First, EGBA’s main plan is to create uniform online gaming industries so that all gaming operators in Europe can offer their services across the continent. This objective is in line with European Union philosophy and therefore are taking with European countries that banning online gambling. The association also takes legal recourse against countries illegalizing online gambling or those countries monopolizing gambling in Europe.

According to the popularity of online casino in Europe, the second duty of EGBA is to facilitate fair, responsible, and secure gambling among game operators and people who use those gambling platforms. It, therefore, has come up with a code of conduct, all its members have to follow.

Similar Gambling Organizations in Europe

European Casino Association

ECA is an organization representing individual and national association operators of land-based casinos in Europe. The association represents more than 900 casinos and approximately 70,000 employees across Europe. ECA was founded in the early 90s and has since represented EU member states and non- EU countries.

The main objective of ECA is to focus on and promote issues of casinos, including casino operations. It, therefore, provides a focal point from which casino operators, stakeholders, and national policymakers can address casino matters—ideally, the association work as a source of information on anything relating to casino operations.

Also, the association aims to contribute to EU decisions on matters regarding the casino.

UKGC

United Kingdom Gambling Commission is the largest organization licensing gambling operators in the UK. For any casino to operate, whether online or offline, they have to acquire a license from UKGC. The commission, however, assign licenses only after thoroughly conducting an audit to ensure the gambling company adheres to the safety of players.

One of the main things UKGC looks at is the finances of a company and whether it has a separate players’ account holding player fund. This is important as it means even when a company goes bankrupt, it can still pay players who’ve won. Also, the commission has to look at the RTP rate. Return to player is the amount that goes back to players (not necessarily the person who deposits the bet money). So if a company states their RTP is 95%, it means the company keeps 5% of the amount a player deposit while the rest is paid to bet winners.

UKGC generally perform a thorough audit, including criminal record and ownership structure of the gambling business, to ensure British players are protected from incompetent companies.

GREF

Gaming regulator European forum is an organization with over 30 years in providing its services. The organization is a base on which members share and gather knowledge and experiences in regards to gambling. Ideally, GREF aims to provide useful materials, references, and be the source of comments in matters related to gambling. Members given access to the platform include;

  • Those who license gambling operators
  • Supervisors of the gambling sector
  • And legislators of gambling-related information in the EU, internal sovereignty, and states.

Creedroomz has launched Cashout Blackjack, a new version of its popular Live Blackjack game designed to redefine player engagement. This major update features a groundbreaking Side Bet Gamble mechanic, a completely redesigned UI and other key enhancements that deliver a new standard of excitement.

The Side Bet Gamble is an industry-first feature that gives players total control over their side bet winnings. Unlike traditional bonus rounds that are passive or tied to specific game events, this optional decision occurs only for players who have won a side bet, right at the end of the round after the last dealer card has been dealt. Players are given a choice: Gamble their winnings for a chance to double their payout, or Skip and keep their original amount. This high-stakes, real-time decision point transforms every win into an exhilarating risk-reward moment.

Cashout Blackjack also includes a suite of powerful updates:

Sleek New UI: A fully redesigned interface built for seamless usability on all devices.

Rebalanced Side Bets: Payouts have been rebalanced to make side bets more compelling and rewarding.

Auto-stand applied on hard / non-splitable scores of 17, 18, 19 and 20.
