WACA certification

With this certificate, the WACA initiative strives for a very high level and outstanding quality of accessibility, which is why the most basic WCAG criteria must be met for successful certification. The auditors test according to a predefined scheme and their own testing methodology strictly according to these criteria. The WACA certificate is awarded at 3 different levels. For each WCAG success criterion, a separate grading for gold, silver and bronze has been defined. This means that websites that do not meet the highest WCAG requirements or are best practice, but have basic accessibility and do not exclude anyone from using the website, can also be awarded. For the Silver or Bronze grades, accessibility efforts must be clearly and unambiguously recognizable, see definition of WACA grades.

WACA certifies websites that can be narrowed down precisely, usually defined by a URL, and draws a representative sample (test sample) from this. However, the following content or functions of a website are generally excluded from the audit:

  • PDF
  • EPUB
  • Live transmitted time-based media
  • Content that is only available to a closed group of people and not to the general public (extranets and intranets).
  • external content from third-party providers that was neither financed nor developed by the website operator and is therefore not subject to its control (such as Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook, external iframes and widgets, etc.), defined as follows:
    • Third-party content that cannot be interacted with (e.g. Facebook tracking pixels) is excluded from the check.
    • Third-party content that does not provide basic, central functionality of the page is excluded from the check.
    • Third-party content that provides additional information and is essential for users requires an alternative.
    • If a website consists largely of third-party content, certification is rejected and the order is not accepted. Website is not auditable in this case.
  • Online maps and map services, but these must have an accessible alternative.
  • Google Captcha (ReCaptcha V2): Only valid for WACA quality levels Silver and Bronze.

General Comment of the Certification Authority:

Der Webshop https://shop.casinos.at/ ist sehr gut bedienbar und barrierefrei umgesetzt. Die Website erfüllt weitestgehend die WCAG 2.2 - AA Erfolgskriterien. Die Anwendung profitiert vom gelungenen Aufbau der Hauptwebseite www.casinos.at , die auch WACA-zertifiziert wurde. Für eine optimale Umsetzung fehlen noch einige Best-Practice-Maßnahmen, wie im Bericht unten angegeben.

WACA deviations and WACA gradations

    Webshop Casinos Austria: T00 Rahmen der Website

    Criterion 1.3.1 - Info and Relationships: Silver

    Im Footer werden teilweise <p>-Elemente statt Listen verwendet, genauer gesagt in den Spalten Zahlung & Versand und Service Center. Assistive Technologien würden normalerweise mitteilen, wie viele Zahlungs- und Versandmöglichkeiten es gibt oder wie viele Service-Center-Links vorhanden sind (siehe Screenshot Footer).

    Criterion 2.4.1 - Bypass Blocks: Silver

    Es gibt zwar einen Skiplink, mit dem man zum Inhalt springen kann, jedoch wären weitere wünschenswert, z. B. Zum Hauptmenü, Suche und Hilfe. Hilfe würde zudem das Kriterium 3.2.6 Consistent Help verbessern.

    Criterion 2.4.4 - Link Purpose (In Context): Silver

    Das Bild verlinkt auf die Dinner und Casino-Seite, ebenso wie der Button. Bei der Navigation mit Tastatur und assistiven Technologien könnte dies zu Verwirrung führen. Diese Redundanz könnte verhindert werden, indem der Link vom Bild entfernt wird.
