OGA welcomes reputable gaming site operators who are considering joining the Online Gaming Alliance. Since OGA serves to provide assurances of quality, fair play, security and trust to players and online gaming enthusiasts who visit member sites, applicants and members in good standing must meet these minimum requirements:
- Software. Gaming sites are powered by Grand Virtual technology to guarantee consistent levels of quality, security, reliability and entertainment.
- Principles and Ethics. The owners and operators of the gaming site embrace and endorse the OGA Principles and Ethics.
- Code of Conduct. The gaming site is operated in accordance with the OGA Code of Conduct.
- Banned Groups. The gaming site does not endorse or promote any of the OGA Banned Groups and is not associated with them in any way.
Periodic Review by OGA. The gaming site will be periodically reviewed by OGA to assure compliance with membership requirements, and to confirm that the site does not endorse, promote or belong to banned groups. Revocation of membership is at the sole discretion of OGA.
OGA Logo. OGA members in good standing will prominently display the OGA logo on their site and refer players to www.gamingalliance.org for assurances and information about gaming site standards.
Problem Site Reporting. Players, OGA members or site visitors can report a Problem Site to OGA by filling out the Problem Site Report form.
Complaint Investigation. OGA will investigate complaints brought against any member. In most situations where OGA determines that a membership policy has been violated, the member will be put on probation and given an opportunity to correct the problem within a specified period of time. If the violation has not been addressed to OGA's satisfaction in a timely manner, OGA will take appropriate action, including some or all of the following:
- Revoking the offending site's OGA membership,
- Requiring the removal of any and all OGA logos and links from the offending site,
- Listing the offending site on the OGA Banned Sites page,
- Broadcasting the offense to the Banned Sites Update e-mail list,
- Initiating a termination of the Grand Virtual license agreement,
- Initiating civil action for breach of contract, and
- Reporting the offense to appropriate gaming regulators or jurisdictional authorities, as warranted.
Repeat offenders or violators of the Banned Groups policy will be ejected immediately without benefit of a probation period or the opportunity to redress the offense.
