Star Partner receives eCOGRA accrediation

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The latest major affiliate program to achieve the eCOGRA Affiliate Trust seal accreditation is Star Partner, a program that administers the affiliate marketing affairs of fourteen well established, tier one online gambling destinations.

Announcing the accreditation after an extensive inspection and monitoring process, eCOGRA chief executive Andrew Beveridge said that to display the Affiliate Trust seal, affiliate programs must demonstrate that their program establishes, enforces and monitors best practice standards.

Specifically, they must show that they calculate affiliate revenue accurately and make payments promptly, communicate efficiently and that they have controls in place to accurately link players to affiliates.

eCOGRA's monitoring affiliate program provides the most public, structured and formal on-site approach, ensuring adherence to consistent standards through regular monitoring and full annual reviews carried out by appropriately qualified audit and accounting professionals.

Conrad Haack, Affiliate Program Manager at Star Partner, said that the interaction with eCOGRA's compliance team had been intense and useful, improving several aspects of operational activity in a business sense.

"This sort of independent, professional and impartial assessment of our systems and processes benchmarked to specific international standards has proved to be most valuable."
