New eCogra Affiliate Trust Seal Goes First to Fortune Affiliates
Monday, 08 September 2008 01:41

It has recently been announced that the affiliate program, Fortune Affiliates has become the first to receive the new Affiliate Trust Seal from eCOGRA.

 

For many years now, eCOGRA’s own Safe and Fair Seal has come to represent a milestone in fairness and honesty. It is displayed proudly on the websites of only the most reputable of the Internet’s online casinos and poker rooms. Now the net extends to affiliate operators that are trusted to observe and adhere to the very same standards of trustworthiness, fairness and excellence. 

 

The first to be awarded the coveted Safe and Fair Seal after a thorough audit and on-site inspection was Fortune Affiliates.

 

A spokesman for Fortune Affiliates said that they are highly honoured to be the first to receive this Affiliate Trust Seal. He said that it was a very tough process, but they have always kept very high standards for themselves as their affiliates have always been aware.

 

The Founder and President of CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com (CAP), Louis Fabiano said that they were very happy for Fortune Affiliates. They were not the least bit surprised that they had achieved this great honour. Fortune Affiliates is one of CAP's top certified partners. CAP is the Microgaming family’s largest, longest standing and most respected of all the groups. He also said that they fully deserved to be the first affiliate program awarded with the eCOGRA seal.

 

In a similar way to how eCOGRA's accreditation process works for operators of gambling sites, their new service is all about introducing detailed standards of best business practice chiefly for companies running affiliate programs backed up by strict monitoring and inspection systems which display eCOGRA’s new Affiliate Trust Seal. 

 

In order to be able to display the new Seal, an affiliate program must be able to clearly demonstrate that their program monitors and enforces best practice standards. To be more specific, the affiliate program must clearly show that they accurately calculate affiliate revenue as well as promptly make payments while having set controls in place that allow them to link players to affiliates accurately.

 

In a pilot project which was part of a year long study into standards and development, eCOGRA chose Fortune Affiliates to participate. This is a company that administers many thousands of affiliate marketers belonging to the Fortune Lounge Group, which covers online casinos as well as bingo and poker rooms.

 

During the time Fortune Affiliates participated in the pilot project, the new eCOGRA standards underwent extensive on-site inspections and audits to produce a new set of eGAPs (generally accepted principles) for poker room and online casino affiliates.
