In order to generate some additional publicity for the most recent 100 seal recipients (including links to their websites), we issued a press release earlier today. The full contents of the press release is shown at the end of this post. Previously we had issued a press release for the first 125 sites awarded the seal. You can see that press release in the post at www.gpwa.org/forum/125-sites-awarded-gpwa-approved-portal-seal-169699.html#post478487.

Note that 175 sites were actually previously awarded the seal, but one of those sites is no longer active, and another site is no longer owned by a private GPWA member.

For those of you who have been awarded the seal, information about how to install the seal on your site can be found on the following thread: https://www.gpwa.org/forum/gpwa-appr...ns-168814.html

If you are a current GPWA private member, and would like to be a participant in the seal program, please pm CityGuard with the URLs of the websites on which you would like to use the seal.

If you are not currently a private GPWA member, and would like to become one so that you can participate in the new GPWA Seal of Approval program, please register to become a private member - just click on the "register" navigation item on the top navigation bar, and follow the directions for applying to become a private member.

Congratulations again to all of the webmasters of our 200 approved sites!

Thank you.

Michael

Gambling Portal Webmasters Association (GPWA) Awards 200th Seal of Approval
NEWTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 18, 2007 -- The Gambling Portal Webmasters Association (https://www.gpwa.org), the only professional organization of its kind, announced that it had reached a milestone today with the award of the 200th "Approved Portal Seal" to one of its member websites.

In making the announcement, Steven Corfman, GPWA Program Manager, stated, "Players are looking for sites they can trust, and honorable webmasters deserve to differentiate themselves from rogue operators. The Seal of Approval program provides the distinction these webmasters deserve, and gives consumers the information and assurance to make critical decisions about who is reputable and who to skip past. We are excited about this important milestone and look forward to continued growth."

The GPWA Approved Portal Seal lets players know that the designated site is managed independently of the sites it provides information about or promotes; that it respects and upholds copyright standards; that it does not send spam email, use unethical search-engine-optimization techniques, or promote or display pornography; that it provides consumers with information extending beyond banner ads and links; and that it acts professionally and respectfully in its business activities.

The Gambling Portal Webmasters Association was founded in May 2001 as an organization that would promote responsible gaming, strengthen relationships between affiliate program managers and portal webmasters, and give its members a way to collaborate with other webmasters. The GPWA's 4,000+ members communicate and share information in over 80 forums, with 25,000 threads and 180,000 posts. In July 2006, the GPWA was acquired by Casino City, the world's largest provider of casino and gaming information.
