eCOGRA Reveals New Brand Identity Reflecting Company’s Values and Focus on Global Expansion
eCOGRA a leading provider of a range of testing, inspection and certification services, have announced a new brand campaign, including a refresh of their brand identity, and the launch of their new website. In addition to the logo, visual identity and website, eCOGRA have also updated their messaging to reiterate their commitment to navigating complex regulatory environments and providing customers with confidence and peace of mind that they are engaging with an independent, impartial and world renowned accredited testing agency.
“While our company has grown rapidly over the past number of years, our focus has centred on maintaining our exceptional levels of service, and so our brand identity has not evolved at the same pace as the wider business. We are therefore thrilled to unveil our brand refresh which represents yet another major milestone,” said Shaun McCallaghan, CEO at eCOGRA. “Our updated branding is a reflection of our commitment to fair gaming, responsible conduct, player protection and regulatory compliance, and we are confident that our new website will provide our customers with a more streamlined and engaging experience.”
The brand refresh and website launch come at an exciting time for eCOGRA, which has seen strong growth in recent years and is poised for further expansion in several jurisdictions across the globe. In recent months eCOGRA have been authorised to offer certification services as an independent testing laboratory (ITL) in Pennsylvania and Michigan on the satisfactory completion of rigorous checks by the relevant Gaming Control Boards. eCOGRA is the first laboratory headquartered outside of the US to be authorised to operate in these states, a welcome addition to their US jurisdictions which also include Colorado and New Jersey. The company plans to continue expanding their jurisdiction and investing in their products, services, and technology to better serve their customers and maintain their position as a leader in the compliance space.
Initial elements of eCOGRA’s brand evolution include:
New Logo: The new logo is still recognisable with the company’s signature tick mark which stands for quality of service and high standards, placed on a blue and grey playing card shape, a subtle nod to the industry eCOGRA operates in. The strong geometric shape of the new logotype signifies the weight of the company’s reputation, and the ‘e’ is highlighted in a warm orange tone, calling out eCOGRA’s warmth of approach with customers and specialisation in online gambling industry.
New Brand Video: The new brand video, which sits on the homepage of ecogra.org, provides an engaging and informative overview of eCOGRA’s products and services. The explainer video was created to help customers and stakeholders better understand the benefits of working with eCOGRA to achieve their testing, inspection and compliance goals. The video features clear and concise messaging, and a compelling narrative that highlights the company’s unique value proposition.
New Website: The new website features a modern design and user-friendly interface, with enhanced functionality and improved navigation. Visitors can browse the site to learn more about key services such as Product Certification, Cyber Security Assessments and ADR, access resources such as Certified Client Verification and Survey forms, and easily contact the company for further information.
New Brand Purpose Statement: Compliance Without Compromise.

Approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission paves the way for Kambi to provide its premium sports betting solutions in Las Vegas and across the Silver State
Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the home of premium sports betting solutions, has received approval for its Nevada gaming licence applications, marking a significant step towards launching in one of the world’s most iconic betting markets. The Nevada Gaming Commission approved Kambi’s application for Manufacturer & Distributor Licenses and an Information Services License, following a unanimous recommendation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (“NGCB”) earlier this month.
The licences will enable Kambi to provide its industry-leading sportsbook technology and services to nonrestricted gaming establishments in Las Vegas and across the state of Nevada for the first time. With limited B2B competition in the state due to the high regulatory requirements, Nevada presents Kambi with future growth opportunities in line with its strategy to expand its footprint across the Americas.
Kambi has been at the forefront of the regulated US sports betting industry since 2018, processing the first legal online wager outside of Nevada following the repeal of PASPA. This latest achievement underscores the company’s dedication to delivering world-class sportsbook solutions while adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and corporate probity.
Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, said: “Securing approval for our licences in Nevada is an important milestone for Kambi and a testament to our market-leading technology, regulatory expertise and corporate integrity. Nevada is widely known as the gold standard for betting and gaming regulation, insisting on a standard that few companies can meet, and is therefore recognition of Kambi’s unwavering commitment to excellence. We would like to thank both the Commission and NGCB for their thorough review and approval of our applications.”
