Interactive Gaming Council

Since it was first founded in November 1996 in Washington DC by Interactive Services Association, the Interactive Gaming Council has increased immensely and is now one of the most important features in the world of online gambling. Today the council – also known as the IGC- is comprised of more than 100 international casinos and has headquarters in Vancouver, Canada.

'Seal Of Approval' Campaign

The IGC has grown to be one of the most trusted associations for keen online gamblers. Thanks to the council’s ‘Seal of Approval’ campaign, players can recognise the ICG logo on their favourite casino and know that the site has been approved as reliable and trustworthy by the ICG. In order to be able to display this Seal of Approval, a casino must have been proven to comply with a specific set of regulations and guidelines put forward by the IGC. The ICG must be able to confirm that the site conducts all financial transactions lawfully and ethically. They must also follow a set of fair and secure rules to accommodate all players. These rules are open for all members of the public to read at the official website of the Interactive Gaming Council.

Fair And Responsible Gambling

According to the IGC, their role within the gaming industry is to promote fair and responsible gambling guidelines, thus ensuring that online casinos are safe environments for everyone. They are also vocal advocates for stricter government legislation in the world of internet casinos. The council actively encourages public and legal debate around such issues as gambling restrictions and stricter security measures. Members of the council can regularly be found holding seminars and conferences about these subjects and more.

Due to this dedication to reliability and responsibility, it is easy to see why so many keen gamblers around the world have come to see the IGC’s Seal of Approval as certification of integrity. The council also reassures players that they will investigate any disputes between customers and casinos, which bear the Seal of Approval.
