Andrew Beveridge, CEO of online gambling standards and player protection
body eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance, has announced the
appointment of Anders Lantz to the eCOGRA board of directors. Lantz is Chief
Security Officer at turnkey online poker and casino provider Ongame
e-Solutions AB in Sweden, one of the industry leading software companies
supporting the eCOGRA initiative, which provides players with a better and
safer gaming experience through improved operational efficiency and customer
care at online poker and casinos. As a Certified Information Systems Auditor
(CISA), Lantz has extensive management experience in information technology
auditing, governance, compliance testing and security; financial control and
system development and security. Prior to joining Ongame, he held management
positions with a major management consultancy and international auditing
companies.

Ongame is a turnkey provider and poker network owner with the major operator
PokerRoom.com as its best known subsidiary. Ongame itself was acquired
earlier this year by betandwin, an Austrian publicly listed company and one
of the world’s leading providers of online gaming entertainment.

“The highly relevant professional experience that Anders has acquired in a
brilliant career makes him a valuable asset for the IT and auditing
responsibilities of the board,” Beveridge said.

Commenting on his appointment, Lantz said: “The players regard safety and
fairness as their highest priorities, and it is vital that we demonstrate
that we can provide this. Having standards like eCOGRA’s eGAP is crucial for
the industry, and I regard my appointment and background in auditing as a
perfect opportunity to positively influence the future development of secure
and efficient online gaming entertainment.”
