This milestone brings eCOGRA’s total number of U.S. Jurisdictions to six, and total number of global jurisdictions to 36,  cementing their position as a market leader in providing independent  testing, inspection, and certification services to the online gambling  industry.

Connecticut became the sixth U.S. state to legalise online casino gambling in 2021 as part of a wider legislative move which also included legalising  online and retail sports betting. Now known for its vibrant gaming  community and growing online gambling sector, Connecticut represents a  crucial market for eCOGRA’s services. As a trusted independent testing agency, eCOGRA will provide its expertise to assess and validate the fairness and security of online gaming  platforms, bolstering player confidence and regulatory compliance across  the state.

eCOGRA’s comprehensive range of services covers a wide spectrum of critical areas in online gaming, including software testing, RNG (Random Number Generator) evaluations, cybersecurity assessments, and regulatory compliance reviews. By adhering to the highest industry standards and best practices, eCOGRA ensures that all its clients meet the necessary regulatory requirements and provide a safe and secure gaming environment for their players.

Shaun McCallaghan, CEO of eCOGRA, expressed his excitement about the authorisation to offer services in Connecticut, saying, “We are thrilled to extend our services to the dynamic market of  Connecticut. With our independent testing, inspection, and certification  expertise, we aim to foster a transparent and secure online gambling  ecosystem that benefits players, suppliers and operators."

As eCOGRA enters the Connecticut market, it plans to forge  partnerships with local gambling operators and software providers. By  collaborating closely with industry stakeholders, eCOGRA will help shape the gambling landscape in Connecticut, ensuring the highest standards of integrity and player protection.

Speaking on the approval, Bradley Khoury, CTO of eCOGRA,  said “eCOGRA’s authorisation to provide services in Connecticut is a  testament to the company’s expertise, professionalism, and unwavering  dedication to the gambling industry. As the market leader in independent  testing, inspection, and certification, eCOGRA continues to champion  fairness, trust, and accountability.”
