The independent player protection and standards body eCOGRA has announced the award of two more Safe and Fair accreditation seals to online gambling sites, bringing to 150 the number of tier one operations that have successfully met eCOGRA’s international requirements.

The latest seals were awarded to Red Flush Casino and Casino La Vida by eCOGRA’s Independent Directors on January 25 following an extensive on-site inspection and audit process that examined every operational aspect and the financial systems in use.

To ensure continued compliance, Red Flush and Casino La Vida will be consistently monitored through regular onsite reviews and eCOGRA’s Total Gaming Transaction Review regime, which involves analysing every live gambling transaction for software fairness.

The accreditation inspection was supervised by eCOGRA compliance manager Louise Chunnett CA (SA), CISA Certified, who commented in her report to the Compliance Committee:

"These operations have a successful management with well trained, motivated and competent individuals servicing their players. The review was well and comprehensively structured, with full buy-in from management and the staff in attaining certification."

Red Flush Casino and Casino La Vida are part of the Club Red Gaming Group of casinos. Each of these gaming destinations currently hosts over 450 games powered by Microgaming software.

Casino manager Alex Roberts commented: "We’re certainly proud of our newest accomplishment and glad to be recognised for our ongoing transparency, integrity and satisfactory operating standards."

eCOGRA chief executive officer Andrew Beveridge congratulated the new seal holders, noting the full cooperation that the eCOGRA auditing team had been given throughout an extensive process toward accreditation.

"This achievement provides internet players at Red Flush Casino and Casino La Vida with an added layer of assurance that the games are fair and the casinos are run on professional lines and to internationally recognised best practice standards," he said.

Club Red Gaming is home to the award winning online casino Red Flush, as well as the attractive and esteemed Casino La Vida. Both of these casinos offer their players privileged access to a wide range of promotions that are consistently run on a week to week basis. Club Red Gaming casinos are forever on a mission to keep their players happy by re-inventing popular promotions time and time again.

All new Club Red Gaming online casino players are welcomed into the entertainment environment with tantalising offers that are both rewarding and enjoyable. Red Flush offers 1000 free credits to all new players and encourages them to use this money over the space of 1 hour to enhance their online status to that of a winner. Casino La Vida has a multiple step up offer that gets more enticing with each degree of action, finally rewarding players with free credits upon completion. Both of these opening offers allow online casino players a chance to experience the casinos in full, while testing out the collection of over 450 online casino games that are available.

Once inside the online casino, both Red Flush and Casino La Vida put all their emphasis and energy into keeping their players satisfied. And that is where the casino Marketing teams say that the fun starts:

Keeping our promotions fresh and enticing is really important in making sure our players are content. We will go out of way to ensure this at every turn and it is the most exciting part of our job.

Regular interaction with their players allows Red Flush Casino and Casino La Vida to get the inside scoop on what it is that players want from their game-play at an online casino. From this information they have deduced that simplicity is the key and their players just want to get inside and play and take advantage of the promotional bonuses where they can. Promotions that enhance their loyalty statuses; promotions that offer free spins and match bonuses are all featured within both Casino La Vida and Red Flush on a weekly basis. Red Flush and Casino La Vida have incorporated all of this into their current ongoing promotions, and every week players can experience new games while receiving benefits.

Players can also be randomly rewarded for simply being in the online casino at the right time. With their latest initiative: “Get Spotted at the Casino,” all Club Red Gaming players can receive on the spot prizes such as free credits, free spins, match bonuses and loyalty points just for coming into the online casino and doing what comes naturally to them. Numerous players, from VIPs to new registrants have been awarded with random “Get Spotted” bonuses, and Red Flush and Casino La Vida plan to reward many more players.

This particular promotion is something that both online casinos have decided to run with for a while, as it seems to benefit everyone. A Red Flush Support agent claims that this aspect of his job has made it all the more exciting: "It is quite gratifying, making someone’s day like that. One minute they are playing, next minute they get a pop-up message saying that they have just won free credits. More often than not the player comes onto LiveChat just oozing positive remarks. It makes our jobs as agents much more enjoyable."

The award-winning 32Red Online Casino expands through the acquisition of Nedplay Casino, absorbing the player base and processing outstanding player payments.

32Red is today pleased to announce that Nedplay Casino becomes part of the award-winning gaming operator’s group of casinos.

CEO of 32Red, Ed Ware, commented: "We are pleased to have the Nedplay Casino join our group and look forward to delivering the same high standards we apply across our existing operations to the Nedplay Casino".

The Nedplay brand continues for the time being with 32Red due to assess future plans over the coming weeks.
