Online casino and poker room software provider, Playtech, recently announced its membership in Britain’s Remote Gambling Association (RGA). The company’s membership came not long after it acquired a Certificate of Prior Approval from Alderney, the third largest Channel Island, as well as its successful migration of the Rank Group’s Hard Rock Casino. The Rank Group is licensed in Alderney.

In order to qualify for membership in the Remote Gambling Association, software providers must either supply their product to at least one remote gambling operator that is licensed and operational in the European Economic Area (EEA), the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man or be directly licensed there.

The Remote Gambling Association was formed in July of 2005 after the Association of Remote Gambling Operators (ARGO) merged with the Interactive Gaming, Gambling and Betting Association (IGGBA). RGA is an organization that was formed in order to promote the interests of remote gambling operators in the areas in which their members have an interest.
In addition to representing the interests of its members to national governments and public organizations, the RGA is also supposed to promote high standards of probity and integrity within the online gambling and gaming industry, which, it is believed, will benefit both RGA members as well as the general public.

A Playtech spokesman said: "We are extremely pleased with our new membership in the RGA. Their work is invaluable to the gaming industry, and we feel that they can represent our interests to regulatory authorities."
