eCOGRA is an organization based in London, UK. It is a non-profit company which helps to regulate virtual gambling. What it does is set standards for online gambling for international casinos and player protection requirements and responsible gambling. Mobile gambling is quite new to the gambling industry and so for the first time gambling history, eCOGRA gives it accreditation to a mobile gambling operator.

Spin3 with online casino software developer Microgaming, provide together a mobile gaming solution to various online casino operators. You can play wireless casino games like blackjack and gambling slot machines through your mobile phone. Now that eCOGRA has certified one of the mobile gaming operators with its seal of approval, I’m sure many will follow in time.

Andrew Beveridge, the CEO of eCOGRA, said that Spin3 had developed impressive facilities for mobile gaming after inspecting the product thoroughly… “Spin3’s software had already passed with flying colors during earlier eCOGRA inspections, when some of its clients applied for our mobile casino operator accreditation”. He also added…

“It was pleasing to see that the same level of attention to detail, efficiency and fair gaming was found in the other facets of its business as a provider when our auditors engaged with them on this wider review. To pass our rigorous review process at the first time of asking is hugely impressive”.
The main guy at Spin3, Matti Zinder, said the following, “To become the first ever provider of mobile gambling services to receive eCOGRA certification is a terrific achievement for Spin3, and recognition of our industry-leading standards, processes, methodologies and services.”

Mobile gambling will take time to become popular because you need to have the right mobile phone and once technology improves I’m sure it will become more main stream than what it is now. It is also quite expensive to gamble from a mobile than from your computer. So always check with your phone provider on the costs for going online on your phone. Another point to consider is that not all areas have good phone reception, so be aware where you are when playing casino games on your mobile.
