Casino Guru Introduces User Review Functionality

Published

on

 

Casino Guru prides itself on being one of the biggest sources of information about online casinos for quite some time now, with their broad database of gambling sites and objective, data-focused expert reviews. However, with the recent addition of user reviews, they will be able to bring even more value to their visitors.

Casino Guru intruded new functionality, which allows visitors to review and rate any online casino. Users can share their experience, whether good or bad, with other members of the community, who can, in turn, use this information to make the right choice when selecting a site to play at.

Matej Novota, Casino Guru’s Data & Complaints Department Lead, considers user reviews a great addition to the site’s features: “My team and I collect as much relevant information as possible about each online casino we review, such as their complaints, revenues, features, customer support quality, etc. This helps us give casinos a fair rating and recommend the most suitable ones to players. Letting our visitors share their experience adds another layer of information that will be helpful for anyone trying to select a casino to play at.”

User reviews combine two of the main pillars of the Casino Guru website – casino reviews and community. Community is the fastest growing part of the website, with Casino Guru having reported over 34,000 registered users within the first year of the existence of their multilingual forum.

Matej adds that experience of actual users is hard to emulate in a traditional review process: “We do our best to find out everything players should know about a casino, but there are thousands of casinos on the internet, and we simply cannot test each of them in a way that would emulate the experience of a diverse group of players. That’s why I think that user reviews will be beneficial not only to our visitors, but to our team as well.”

Users can give a casino a rating from zero to five stars, which contributes to its overall user rating. If they want, they can also add a written review and describe the casino’s positive and negative qualities. If a user adds a written review, it is first reviewed by the Casino Guru team to make sure it meets the site’s community guidelines, and only then made public. Ratings without a written review are published immediately.

To the team’s surprise, most users add a written review to their ratings, as Matej describes: “The number of new daily reviews is quite low, as it’s a new functionality and our visitors are not familiar with it yet. However, what surprised is that more than 80% of user ratings are accompanied by a written review of the casino’s qualities. We expected most users to skip this option, as it’s far easier to just choose the number of stars and submit a rating. Perhaps users who leave ratings really want to share their experience in detail.”

In line with Casino Guru’s forum and other multilingual features, users can write their reviews in any language, and the site’s automatic translation functionality will localize it for other visitors according to their language preferences.

User reviews are yet another addition in Casino Guru’s quest to provide as much value to visitors as possible and make online gambling better. Their other recent endeavors include Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and Casino Guru Academy, which are aimed at improving the online gambling ecosystem and reducing gambling-related harm. On top of this, the company continues working on other improvements and getting closer to being the best website about online casinos.

1/ST CONTENT and Italy’s MASAF form new partnership ahead of the Breeders’ Cup

1/st-content-and-italy’s-masaf-form-new-partnership-ahead-of-the-breeders’-cup

 

Distribution deal sees leading racing provider for the Americas extend its scope into Italy’s local pool betting via governing body for horse racing

1/ST CONTENT, the pre-eminent provider of premium North and South American horse racing content and a key division of 1/ST, has continued to grow its international footprint in a new partnership with the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry (MASAF) in the run-up to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, one of the true highlights on the global racing calendar.

The deal now opens a breakthrough gateway for local pool betting on North American, South American and Turkish racing in Italy – and was soft-launched over last month’s 100th edition of the Hambletonian at The Meadowlands, NJ. This milestone renewal, the pinnacle of harness racing and a format of the sport which is particularly popular with Italian racing fans, fostered immediate fan engagement, as reported by MASAF this month via https://www.grandeippicaitaliana.it/.

The agreement kicks off with the 2025 flagship finale at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships in Del Mar (31 October – 1 November) and brings many of the premier stateside races to Italy, including the Pegasus World Cup (24 January) and the Triple Crown contests of Preakness 151 (16 May) and the Belmont Stakes (6 June). In the aggregate, 1/ST CONTENT’s extensive content portfolio maps approximately 90% of all North American racetracks, alongside South American and Turkish venues, neatly complementing Italy’s domestic sporting action with a reliable source of fast-settling betting content between 18:00 and 05:00 CET.

Italian and North American horse racing currently enjoy a strong reciprocal bond, thanks to three of Italy’s leading jockeys in Frankie Dettori, Umberto Rispoli and Antonio Fresu plying their trade in North America. These three Italian ambassadors were recently introduced to a mainstream global audience via Netflix’s acclaimed Race For The Crown.

1/ST CONTENT’s worldwide experience and customer base for pools betting features the Americas, Morocco, Italy, Singapore, Australia, Turkey, Sweden, France, New Zealand and Hong Kong. As a result, by leveraging 1/ST CONTENT’s unparalleled expertise in capturing and streaming elite live-racing events, bettors across Italy can now enjoy a best-in-breed international racing experience.

Key features of the deal include but are not limited to:

  1. Comprehensive Coverage: exclusive signals of all racetracks in the United States, Canada, South America and Turkey, ensuring an extensive and diverse range of racing content for Italian audiences.
  2. Cutting-Edge Technology: high-quality, immersive broadcasts, providing viewers with an unparalleled access to live racing and informative content that both engages the seasoned viewer and educates those unfamiliar with the sport.
  3. Enhanced Viewer Engagement: accompanying innovative marketing strategies, promotions, and engagement initiatives, enhancing the overall viewer experience and speaking to a dedicated racing community in Italy

Simon Fraser, Senior Vice President International at 1/ST CONTENT, said: “We’re thrilled to be working as a partner with MASAF on a program to rejuvenate their horse racing audience and breathe new life into the Italian industry. Our collaboration marks a cornerstone from which we can build together to ensure that racing is competitive with other betting options and further expands 1/ST’s global reach.”

Remo Chiodi, Director General for Horse Racing at MASAF, added: “This partnership is part of a broader framework aimed at strengthening relations between Italy and the United States in the horseracing sector: it is a path that consolidates ties between the two countries, enhances both our national excellence and international achievements, and opens up new opportunities for growth and exchange. It is a step that also involves breeding and training, while highlighting the image of Italian racing excellence in the United States, represented by our most renowned jockeys competing overseas.

“Thanks to this agreement, major American racing events will be broadcast free-to-air on EQU TV, expanding the television offering and allowing betting on the races within a fully integrated system. After years of challenges, Italian racing is redefining the entire sector to restore our sport to a position of strength, both at home and abroad.”
