Casinos that use the audit services of
PriceWaterhouseCooper used to display the PWC logo on their home pages - see the example below taken from a previous Microgaming casino page:
"Percentage payouts reviewed by
PriceWaterhouseCooper".
This has now been replaced with:
"Payout and RNG reviwed by
independent auditors".
I can find no reference to PriceWaterhouseCooper on ANY online casino page beyond the historic "payout verification" reports posted on internal pages, which have not been removed.
This would appear to be a PWC directive, since it would be a remarkable coincidence if all online gambling sites had pulled their PWC logos at the same time and for no apparent reason - but why? Are PWC looking to distance themselves from the online gambling scene?
It isn't limited to casinos, either:
Ecogra, the "play it safe" seal-provider for Microgaming and Cassava casinos, have also removed all reference to PriveWaterhouseCooper: their previous independence statement, naming PWC as the official auditors...

...has been re-jigged to remove any specific reference to PWC in the current independence statement:
Again, why is this?
Lacking any official comment, we are left to speculate.
In response to the "
Why did Ecogra remove all mention of PWC?" article written by the Gamblog editor, another commentator made the point that PWC may be looking to distance themselves from the online gambling scene. However, in what way does a simple removal of the PWC logo on casino homepages achieve this? The relationship remains.
Could PriceWaterhouseCooper be looking to END the relationship with online gambling?
Hopefully, official comment will be forthcoming in the near future.
