eCogra Seal of Approval

The world of online poker rooms is not regulated by a single government entity. These rooms are not located in the United States, and so the United States of America do not regulate their activities. And while most rooms are liscenced by their local government, not all are.

So, how can players be sure that the poker room operates in a fair and responsible manner? How can you be assured that disputes between players and poker rooms can be settled by an honest third party? Well, there are regulating bodies out there that are not government entities.
