Security arrangements are a concern of casino gamers who expect that their casino experience will be conducted in a safe and fair gaming environment which transcends the bright neon lights and hype and dazzle of the casino public relations department. Casino marketing must produce information which will reassure players that the casino is a recognized gaming establishment. This information must demonstrate that the casino is regulated and supervised by international gaming commissions as well as by local gambling authorities. The eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance Commission (eCOGRA) is an internationally-recognized body which monitors online casinos. Local gaming authorities such as provincial commissions in Canada and Australia, states' commissions in the United States and national commissions such as the Gambling Commission of the UK monitor the land-based casinos which operate in their jurisdiction.
