RocketPlay Casino has been awarded European Marketing Campaign of the Year – B2C at the 2026 EGR Europe Awards for its innovative community-led campaign, RocketWisdom: The Book. The EGR Europe Awards recognise trailblazers and leaders shaping the iGaming industry across Europe, with winners chosen through a rigorous judging process.
What the Award Recognises
The European Marketing Campaign of the Year – B2C category honours marketing initiatives that achieve significant commercial impact or enhance brand development. Judges evaluate originality, creativity, quality of execution, and measurable results.
About RocketWisdom: The Book
RocketPlay’s winning campaign began as a player research project. Over two months, the casino invited its community to share their gaming habits and “rituals,” gathering over 1,000 responses. These insights were transformed into a book featuring 100+ authentic player stories, curated but not rewritten by the brand.
The campaign gained rapid momentum after streamers discovered the book. Within just three days, RocketPlay received around 1,000 direct requests, turning a private research initiative into a fully-fledged public campaign. The project was amplified across owned channels, social media, creator content, media coverage, and in-product activations.
Campaign Highlights
- 13,000+ downloads
- ~100 streams showcasing the project (~200,000 viewers)
- 50+ media outlets coverage
For RocketPlay, the award represents a major milestone and underscores the power of community-driven storytelling. The campaign demonstrates that authentic engagement can deliver measurable performance, not just visibility. RocketPlay continues to build its reputation in the community, maintaining top ratings across platforms including 9.8/10 on CasinoGuru, 9.1/10 on AskGamblers, 4.4/5 on Trustpilot, and 4.3/5 on LCB.
