This strategic move is further strengthened by the appointment of Daniel Remmes as the US-based Director of Compliance.
Founded in 2003, eCOGRA has become synonymous with integrity, reliability, and excellence in the field of independent testing.

It now boasts jurisdictional approvals in over 37 global markets, including the six states in North America and growing. The decision to expand into the US follows the increasing demand for eCOGRA’s services in the region, particularly given the rapid growth of the iGaming industry in North America.

This expansion reflects eCOGRA’s commitment to ensuring safe and fair online gaming practices for both players and operators across the globe.
Daniel Remmes, the newly appointed Director of Compliance for the US, brings a wealth of experience to the role. With over a decade of experience in iGaming regulation and compliance, Mr. Remmes has worked with several prominent gaming operators and regulatory bodies. His expertise will be instrumental in guiding eCOGRA’s US operations and ensuring that the company’s high standards of consumer protection and regulatory compliance are maintained.
“I’m thrilled to begin this new role with eCOGRA and to seize the opportunity to work with our talented team. eCOGRA is recognised as a leading internationally accredited testing agency, with specialisation in the certification of online gambling software and systems; specific to the company’s expansion of business in the U.S market, I look forward to leveraging my decade of iGaming compliance experience to ensure all regulatory matters and customer initiatives are treated with the utmost importance,” Mr. Remmes said.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our operations in the United States and believe that our presence in Colorado will play a pivotal role in our growth. Daniel Remmes is an outstanding addition to our team. His extensive experience and knowledge of the U.S online gambling market will be invaluable as we navigate this exciting chapter,” said Shaun McCallaghan, CEO of eCOGRA.
eCOGRA’s expansion into the US is a testament to the company’s ongoing commitment to promoting integrity and best practices in the online gambling industry.

StatRankings Launches with Aim to Deliver Faster, Cleaner, and Smarter Sports Data Experience

StatRankings, the ultimate data hub for sports fans, bettors, and fantasy players, announced the launch of its new website. Designed for speed, simplicity, and privacy, StatRankings helps users make smarter decisions by removing the clutter of outdated, stat sites. With more than 500 NFL data points organized on dedicated, ad-free pages, fans can instantly find the data they need to help set fantasy lineups or put together a betting slip without endless tables, pop-ups, or dashboards getting in the way.
“The sports stats industry has been stuck in the past for too long. These sites supposedly designed for bettors, fantasy players, and media are archaic, cumbersome, and confusing. We are committed to keeping the experience of finding stats as smooth and easy as possible, without all the noise. We want StatRankings to represent a new standard in how sports data can be delivered,” said Kevin Adams, Founder of StatRankings and fantasy sports industry veteran.
In addition to the launch of its website, StatRankings created a partnership with One Week Season, a premium DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) subscription service that offers content, tools, and community. StatRankings data will be used across shows and articles found on One Week Season’s site for the duration of the NFL season.
“One Week Season is all about teaching people the ‘how’ when it comes to becoming a better DFS player. StatRankings helps us in that mission by making sharper and deeper data more accessible and doing so in a manner that has previously been awkward and downright clumsy. By incorporating StatRankings into our content, we’re able to offer the most optimized insights to our users for their success,” said One Week Season’s CEO Jordan Tohline.
