The decision to expand into the US follows the increasing demand for eCOGRA’s services in the region, particularly given the rapid growth of the iGaming industry in North America.

This expansion reflects eCOGRA’s commitment to ensuring safe and fair online gaming practices for both players and operators across the globe.

His expertise will be instrumental in guiding eCOGRA’s US operations and ensuring that the company’s high standards of consumer protection and regulatory compliance are maintained.
“I’m thrilled to begin this new role with eCOGRA and to seize the opportunity to work with our talented team. eCOGRA is recognised as a leading internationally accredited testing agency, with specialisation in the certification of online gambling software and systems; specific to the company’s expansion of business in the U.S market, I look forward to leveraging my decade of iGaming compliance experience to ensure all regulatory matters and customer initiatives are treated with the utmost importance,” Mr. Remmes said.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our operations in the United States and believe that our presence in Colorado will play a pivotal role in our growth.
