eCOGRA is one of the most respected independent regulatory bodies in the iGaming industry. Its primary functions are:
1. Game Testing & Certification: eCOGRA's labs rigorously test Random Number Generators (RNGs) to ensure game outcomes are statistically random and fair.
2. RTP Auditing: They analyze game payout data to certify the actual RTP (Return to Player) percentages, ensuring they align with the theoretical values.
3. Player Protection: The "Safe and Fair" seal from eCOGRA indicates that an operator has demonstrated a commitment to fair gaming, responsible conduct, and timely payments. It is a highly respected mark of quality.

FAQs
Does a casino need an eCOGRA seal to be safe?<br>No. A UKGC Licence is the mandatory requirement for safety. However, an eCOGRA seal is a very strong additional trust signal that indicates the operator has voluntarily submitted to further, rigorous third-party auditing.
