Fair Gaming Advocate’s latest report shows that disputes per accredited operator remain impressively low.

The independent player protection and standards body eCOGRA has released its latest report on remote gambling disputes handled by the organisation’s Fair Gaming Advocate, showing remarkably low levels of player disputes at online gambling sites (Dispute Statistics) bearing the eCOGRA Safe and Fair seal of accreditation.

Online gambling sites bearing the seal are the subject to constant monitoring and annual inspections and reviews by the London-based non-profit organisation, now in its seventh year of operations. One of the requirements for accreditation is an operator’s commitment to work with eCOGRA in the event of player disputes.

Fair Gaming Advocate Tex Rees reports that over the first half of 2010 there were a total of 376 complaints submitted to eCOGRA, 33 of which were at non-accredited operations over which eCOGRA has no influence, and therefore cannot mediate. A further 56 of the complaints were declared invalid due to insufficient detail, irrelevance, abuse or anonymous origin.

The remaining 287 disputes – 76 percent of the total received – were resolved by the Fair Gaming Advocate normally within 48 hours, with 47 percent settled in favour of the player.

“These numbers are similar, and in fact compare favourably with last year’s numbers, despite the fact that eCOGRA now has 11 more accredited venues than last year,” Rees reports. “We have actually seen a decrease in dispute mediation requests.

“We can attribute a portion of this drop in disputes to the fact that we have now been working with many of the Seal operations for several years and as a consequence a number of policies and procedures have been developed that translate to less cause for disputes. Our operators are also better equipped and motivated to deal with disputes at the operator level, which results in eCOGRA receiving fewer complaints.”

Rees detailed Cash-in (43 percent), Bonus issues (21 percent) and Locked Accounts (21 percent) as the principal causes for dispute, with the number of cash-in complaints easing from last year’s 51 percent.

“We dealt with an average of 11.03 disputes a week in the first half of 2010,” Rees revealed, adding that this represented an average dispute rate per Seal operation per month of 0.34 disputes – slightly lower than last year’s 0.37 disputes.

“This level of performance is satisfactory and well within the standards we have set for our operators,” she commented. “Viewed against the very high number of transactions these well established, tier one online gambling venues experience on a daily basis, the number of disputes continues to be remarkably low.”

Betfair Casino are once again ahead on the innovation stakes by offering an excellent alternative to your favourite classic casino game, with a live dealer twist. Real Deal is a collection of six games exclusive to Betfair that will revolutionise the industry. The Betfair Casino Real Deal experience offers the realism of a live dealer casino by having virtual croupier Candy deal, as well as having an authentic casino environment and quick and smooth game play.

Across all six exciting games staking options run from £1 to table limits of £2,000, meaning Candy’s charming company is open to all bankrolls.

On loading Real Deal games players are instantly greeted by Candy saying "welcome to the table". A quick glance around the background shows a brilliantly realistic casino environment with slot machines showing real Betfair games and their up-to-the-minute progressive jackpots. This allows players to keep a watching eye on the big money jackpots whilst playing their favourite classic casino games.

Players can enjoy such great games as Euro Roulette. The traditional Euro Roulette wheel features red and black numbers from 1-36 and a single 0, unlike the American wheel which also contains a double zero, and the Betfair Zero Lounge wheel featuring none.

As with other versions of roulette, Real Deal includes the classic array of betting options from the big-winning single number bet at 36:1, to the even money staples red/black and odd/even, and many other choices in between.

One of the most enduringly popular casino games, probably due to its classic simplicity, on Real Deal is Baccarat. With the option to bet on the outcome of two hands dealt by the ever-smiling Candy, both the staking choices and potential outcomes can be quickly and easily picked-up by even the absolute casino novice. A player win offers even money odds, whilst the banker can be backed at 1.95 and a tie is 8:1. Two cards are dealt to both player and banker with 10s and picture cards counting zero and all other cards at face value. The object of the game is to get as close to nine as possible. When the player or banker score is less than five a third card is dealt.

Once you’ve placed your first stake on any of the Real Deal games, play is kept smooth and fluid. You can rebet the same and spin again, rebet but at double stake and spin, or simply rebet without spinning, so you have the opportunity to review your staking options before spinning the wheel.

The Real Deal experience is set to revolutionise the online gaming world and, thanks to their exclusive agreement, the only place you can get in on the action right now is at Betfair Casino.

FOOTBALL nut Mike McNally won £650,000 for a £10 stake on World Cup games

Canny Mike, 29, laid five £2 bets with an online bookie, which entitled him to enter a contest to predict the winner of EVERY match.

He got 36 right – more than any other punter in the world – to scoop the million dollar (£650,000) prize.

Titan Bet threw its global prediction contest open to every punter who wagered at least a tenner on the World Cup.

England nearly cost Mike, of Bradford, West Yorks, the prize after he backed them to beat Germany in South Africa.

But by the time of the final, he and one other person were level after calling 35 of the 63 matches. And business graduate Mike correctly had Spain down to win. while his rival had gone for Holland.

He said: "I was speechless when I learned I’d won. I just wish England could have performed as well as 1 did."
