Casinomeister Awards 2021 Announced
This morning the online casino awards that matter, the 2021 Casinomeister Awards have been announced and there are some worthy winners, who no doubt will be popping the champagne corks, celebrating their recognition as some of the best operators in iGaming.
Released a little bit later in the year compared to years gone by, thanks in part to the conference season being put back due to the global pandemic, with the Casinomeister Awards usually having by now been announced just prior to the now rescheduled ICE London event, which is held in London usually every February.
Running since 2001, the annual Casinomeister Awards recognise the best and worst of online casinos and online gambling. Whereby these awards unlike many others out there in cyberspace are graciously received by operators and individuals alike, as they are not swayed by advertising dollars. In short, the Casinomeister Awards matter!
Best Casino 2021 – Bitstarz
The coveted Best Casino 2021 ‘gong’ goes to Bitstarz with Casinomeister Director Bryan Bailey stating: “Personally, it gives me great pleasure to give kudos to work well done. I have watched them grow over the years, and I have to admit that I was sceptical of any casino that was focused on bitcoins and cyber currencies a few years ago.”
Accredited back in 2018, Bitstarz have continued to receive solid reviews from the forum community on Casinomeister, which led them to receiving 2020’s ‘Best Customer Service’ award. The addition of the Best Casino 2021 award is a further demonstration of how far they have come since launching in the Spring of 2014.
You are Legends!
The Legend Group of Casinos which features the likes of CasinoMax and Roaring 21 have had bestowed on them the Best Casino Group 2021 award. With Bailey stating: “They are clearly the best casino group available to players.”
The award of Best Casino Group 2021 follows past Casinomeister awards made to the Legend Group of Casinos, who in 2018 were awarded the Best Affiliate Program.
Additionally, the casino management team headed up by Karolina were cited as being some of the best in the iGaming industry. With Karolina herself having won in the past the Best Casino Manager award back in 2014 and 2015.
Another feature of the Casinomeister Awards are those handed out to operators who fall markedly short of what is expected of them.
However, due to the current situation unfolding in Ukraine, Bailey took the decision to remove many of them from this year’s awards, due to many of their employees being directly affected by events there.
Bailey in explaining his reasoning behind this move, said: “I feel that it is inappropriate to be ragging on and poking fun at these entities due to the current situation there.”

Predictor by Slotegrator, a prediction market engine for iGaming brands, available for pre-order
Predictor by Slotegrator is a prediction market engine packaged for iGaming operators that will bring the booming trend of event betting to any platform. Currently available for pre-order to a select group of Slotegrator’s clients, Predictor is a true prediction market, using a P2P model and updating odds after every bet. This model captures the appeal of the vertical while protecting operators’ margins.
Predictor by Slotegrator, a prediction market engine developed by leading iGaming software and business solution provider Slotegrator, is available for pre-order. By integrating Predictor, operators will allow their players to buy binary contracts on real-world events using a P2P exchange model. Odds are updated automatically, and operators earn a fixed commission on bets, providing zero-risk revenue.
“Predictor is a natural extension of our product philosophy. At Slotegrator, we believe that technology doesn’t follow trends but shapes them,” said Olga Ivanchik, COO. “The prediction market model is still in its early stages in iGaming, and we are among the first to package this mechanism for casino and sportsbook operators in a scalable, product-ready format. It marks a step toward a more adaptive and diversified operator offering.”
Prediction markets are a massive global trend. Bloomberg reported in February that Kalshi was handling more than $2 billion per week in bets, with Polymarket close behind. Players can bet on everything from sporting events to politics, the price of crypto, and celebrity tweets.
Sportsbook operators who are losing bettors to Polymarket, and want to bring them back by offering unorthodox bets, have the perfect solution in Predictor. Additionally, while classic sportsbooks carry risk on every bet, the P2P exchange model means they will earn on commission. It’s also fast and flexible, with new bets going live in 30 seconds.
Predictor is also ideal for online casino operators looking to increase retention by offering their players betting opportunities beyond traditional casino games, and new operators seeking to capitalize on the global prediction market trend will also benefit from the solution.
Predictor operates on an AMM/LMSR protocol, making it a true prediction market. The pressure created when increasing numbers of bettors select “yes” or “no” directly influences the odds, just like major platforms like Polymarket or Kalshi — and quite different from fixed-odds betting.
Prediction markets are popular not only for the vast array of bets available, but for their real-time data collection; more often than not, the favored outcome on Polymarket or Kalshi in fact comes to pass. This so-called “wisdom of the crowd” has a huge draw for bettors, and carries a huge part of prediction markets’ appeal.
“With Predictor, we are going beyond the usual ways of betting to a model where users actively shape the market. We are giving operators a new way to offer dynamic, event-driven experiences via a single iframe, and completely risk-free,” explained Product Owner Maksym Shtun. “Operators can also create completely unique betting experiences tailored to their own platform — the possibilities are endless.”
Slotegrator will present a demo of the solution at this year’s iGB L!VE, on 1-2 July.
