At one time one of the most recognized online gaming brands in the U.S. (Microgaming casinos are no longer open to U.S. players), Microgaming has nonetheless continued earning outstanding reputation with players the world over. Helping launch what was arguably the first casino on the Web back in 1994, Microgaming has since become a major advocate and purveyor of responsible gaming standards. With the help of the leading independent, non-profit player protection body known as eCOGRA, there are more Microgaming casinos operating by the highest standards of transparency than those of any other software licensor.
