Digital products must be fully usable by everyone, regardless of disabilities, comprehension or method for accessing the content. Casinos Austria is proud to announce that the fully accessible websites www.casinos.at and shop.casinos.at have now also been awarded the WACA Bronze and Silver certificates, confirming that the web content is highly accessible.
Seal of quality for accessible web design
This official certificate from the WACA initiative and the independent certification body TÜV Austria is intended for German and English-language websites throughout Europe. Accessibility on the Internet only works if guidelines for design and development are adhered to. It must be possible for websites to be perceived, operated, understood, and used robustly with assistive technologies. These requirements are defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) at three levels – A, AA, AAA. To be certified, the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria must be met.
The certifications awarded to Casinos Austria confirm the following in detail:
According to the Bronze certification, casinos.at features basic accessibility, which means that no one is excluded from using the website:
- The website meets most of the WCAG 2.2 – AA success criteria.
- The basic functionality is fully accessible to all users.
- Some advanced/optional features that are not essential to the use of the website are inaccessible to some users.
With its excellent Silver certification result, shop.casinos.at covers the following additional areas:
- All content is accessible to all users.
- Some of the advanced/optional features are more complicated for some users, but they’re still accessible.
The Internet should be a natural part of everyday life for everyone, so that everyone can access the same information and services. Assuming social responsibility for the people of Austria is part of Casinos Austria’s corporate philosophy. WACA certifications represent an important step on our ongoing journey towards greater equality of opportunity.
