Internet Gaming Council
We are a proud member of the Internet Gaming Council.
The Internet Gaming Council is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 1996 in the United States, before relocating to Vancouver, Canada. The IGC incorporated there in March 2000.
The organization was established to provide a forum for interested parties to address issues and advance common interests in the global gaming industry, to establish fair and responsible trade guidelines and practices that enhance consumer confidence in interactive gaming products and services, and to serve as the industry's public policy advocate and information clearinghouse.
Since its foundation, membership of the IGC membership increased significantly. The IGC proudly boasts membership from companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Israel, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, Denmark and Sweden. The IGC has built a reputation for reliability, integrity and credibility through its high standards, and appeal to legitimate businesses.
