Casino Guru is proud and pleased to have been awarded the “Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling” at the 2025 Global Regulatory Awards, celebrating the company’s longstanding tradition in bringing a safe, transparent, and responsible experience to players.

The distinction marks the latest accolade Casino Guru has won in the Responsible Gambling field, further highlighting the company’s ethos and philosophy for nurturing a sustainable and accountable industry where players are protected.

Commenting on the achievement, Šimon Vincze, the Sustainable & Safer Gambling Lead at Casino Guru, said: “Speaking on behalf of our entire team, I am humbled to accept this award, which is the latest distinction in Casino Guru’s unflagging efforts to make gambling safer and more transparent. Receiving this distinction from Vixio’s 2025 Global Regulatory Awards, and against a field of more companies that have dedicated efforts to making the industry more responsible, is an honor that motivates us to work harder and contribute to the collective effort.”

Casino Guru’s RG and fair efforts are captured in the very essence of what the company does. The company’s Safety Index has become a carefully curated benchmark that reviews and assigns casino ratings based on player preferences and interactions, prioritizing transparency above all else.

Casino Guru has launched multiple projects to this end, including the Casino Guru Academy, designed to educate industry professionals about the pillars of responsible, fair, and sustainable gambling. Apart from these, the company has also launched the Complaint Resolution Center, similarly intended to help players on their journey in iGaming.

The center has returned over $52 million as of today. Vincze himself has played a crucial role in the promotion of RG and raising awareness about the terminology associated with this, helping it become a more widely understood phenomenon in the industry rather than a tick box companies ought to complete, an effort he has spearheaded through the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and the Safer Gambling Talks podcast.

Not least, Casino Guru has launched the Casino Guru Awards, a project centered around recognizing and celebrating the most successful and responsible companies in iGaming. The project has grown and is heading into its fourth year with new categories, sponsors, judges, and an expanding format.

All of these achievements have collectively served as the basis of Casino Guru winning this year’s Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling distinction.
