Casino Guru, the largest database of online casinos and a respected gambling authority, has recently joined forces with Mindway AI, a leading Responsible Gambling solution provider and spin out of Aarhus University with 10+ years of research in neuroscience and problem gambling, to celebrate the Safer Gambling Week by giving players a chance to test their gambling style for free.

By completing a self-test cleverly disguised as a simple card game, players will be able to assess the riskiness of their play and gain access to a deep analysis of their gambling behavior, all with detailed feedback on their strategy and sensitivity to rewards, losses, and frequency of wins. What’s more, players will receive a personalized report, which includes advice tailored specifically to the player – all based on their behavior during the game.

When asked about how the collaboration came to fruition, Casino Guru’s Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead Simon Vincze was enthusiastic to share the answer:

“Mindway AI are experts in what they do. I believe we have a real potential to help many individuals here, and I’m very grateful to Mindway AI for understanding that and supporting our idea. Knowledge is power, and the more information players have about their gambling patterns and tendencies, the better they can manage their play to avoid undesirable outcomes. Casino Guru is always looking for new ways to make gambling better and safer for everyone, and the fact that we are able to educate them in a fun way makes me very optimistic about the impact this collaboration can have,” Vincze explains. 

Using the principles of neuroscience and psychology along with an in-built software, Gamalyze – the card game in question – analyzes the decision-making process of an individual and provides individualized feedback for each participant. The game can be easily accessed through a widget on Casino Guru’s website, which is hard to miss, so all visitors will have a chance to participate.

“At Mindway AI, we believe that enhanced player protection should be a matter of joining forces and collaborating between different types of industry players rather than a matter of competition on RG initiatives. We’re glad to collaborate with Casino Guru by adding our Gamalyze solution to their website, as it gives us the opportunity to reach a large number of players to offer insights of how they make decisions as they engage in gambling. We’re also able to promote our solution to other gambling operators and to share our mission to empower gambling operators to enhance player protection to the industry,” says Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO at Mindway AI.

Although the Safer Gambling Week, a cross-industry initiative aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of safer gambling, officially runs from 17th to 23rd of October only, Casino Guru’s visitors can enjoy the benefit of being able to test themselves by playing the game for free until the end of October. 

Both companies aim to bring the notion of safer gambling to the forefront of players’ minds once again, and this collaboration allows them to do so in a very creative and fun way.

This final major event of the year highlighted the achievements and progress of the iGaming industry over the past months. With a dynamic presence and the award-winning concept ‘Grab Success in iGaming’, SOFTSWISS made a lasting impact over the three action-packed days of the conference.

The SOFTSWISS booth became a nexus for clients, partners, and industry professionals, sparking new connections and fueling discussions on the latest trends. Among the highlights was the unveiling of the iGaming Trends Report 2025, offering a forward-looking analysis of the industry’s trajectory. Positioned as the ‘mother of all conferences’, SiGMA Europe proved the ideal stage for the report’s launch, with all 27,000 attendees able to grant complimentary access to this vital resource.

“iGaming is growing at a rapid pace, and for many, the main challenge is to keep up with this growth. SOFTSWISS takes a much broader view in this regard: it is important for us to understand where iGaming is heading and anticipate trends in order to strengthen our leadership positions,” said Vitali Matsukevich, COO at SOFTSWISS.

The session drew a full house, reflecting the high interest in the future of crypto casinos amidst the evolving global economic and political landscape.

During the discussion, Matsukevich shared his deep knowledge and insights on leveraging blockchain technology to ensure smarter, safer choices for consumers in the crypto casino space. His expertise underscored SOFTSWISS’ position at the forefront of innovation in this fast-growing market segment.

Casino Guru, the leading online casino database and a champion of informed play in the gambling industry, continues to build upon its responsible gambling partnership with Mindway AI, a prominent RG tech and solutions provider focusing on offering actionable real-time insight into consumer gambling behavior, by launching the revised campaign focused on the Gamalyze self-assessment game, in time for Safer Gambling Week 2024 (SGW24).
The game, a reinvention of the self-test, is a card game that allows players to analyze their own gambling habits through engaging and anonymous play. Thanks to a dedicated widget that welcomes players on the home page, the game is available directly on Casino Guru’s website and is also featured as “Game of the Week.”
To help further improve this year’s reach, Casino Guru has teamed up with several casino partners, including CasinoFriday, Shotz, Roman Casino, giving players the opportunity to explore the game while gaining deeper insights into their own gambling habits.
Casino Guru has reached out to subscribers with additional details about the campaign, aiming to significantly expand its impact and raise awareness among a larger audience.
Previous campaign iterations received 1,800 gameplays each, and Casino Guru is now determined to improve on this milestone.
Šimon Vincze, Casino Guru’s Head of Sustainable & Safer Gambling, shared the following: “I am excited about this year’s upgrade to the campaign and can’t wait to see the results. Together with Niamh from Mindway AI, we were looking for ways to attract more people to play the game and learn more about the risks involved as a natural part of their gambling experience. The upgrades we introduced are promising, and we are confident we can increase the numbers significantly.”
Once the self-test game is completed, Mindway AI provides players with detailed feedback on their gameplay, and analyze certain behavioral markers, such as how players respond to rewards and losses, the frequency of their wins and how risky their gambling behavior is.
Ultimately, the assessment seeks to improve people’s understanding of their own risk-taking behavior, and what they can learn from it. Both companies are dedicated to bringing the concept of safer gambling to the forefront of players’ awareness, and this innovative collaboration allows them to achieve this goal in a creative and enjoyable manner.
To access the widget and test your gambling style, head over to Casino Guru’s home page and click on the widget in the upper right corner of the screen, or check the “Game of the Week,” which will feature Gamalyze throughout SGW24.
Casino Guru and Mindway AI first introduced the campaign several years ago, boosting its reach in a player-centric way in time for SGW24.

Chris Christie bets on Texas to approve OSB in 2025

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has backed Texas to legalise online sports betting in the state’s next legislative session. 

Christie helped pave the way for sports betting liberalisation across the US by bringing the Supreme Court case that led to the repeal of PASPA.

The case was fought and won by prominent conservative lawyer Ted Olson, who Christie hired to argue the case for states to make their own decisions on sports betting. Olson died last week at the age of 84.

After Missouri became the 39th US state to legalise sports betting in some capacity, attention has quickly turned again to the big three states of Texas, California, and Florida.

“I think it’ll happen in Texas in the next legislative session,” said Christie, speaking to Covers.com. The next session is due to commence in Texas on January 14, 2025.

Christie is less confident about California, however, where competing sports betting ballots failed in 2022 amid a bitter dispute and lobbying war between online operators and local tribes.

California is seen as essential to the future prospects of US sports betting operators, given its size and wealth and dramatic impact on the country’s total addressable market (TAM).

“I don’t know about California,” said Christie. “This really takes gubernatorial leadership, and Gavin Newsom has got to decide if this is one of the issues he wants to lead on.

“Without gubernatorial leadership, the legislature won’t do it because they’re pulled like taffy in too many directions by too many different interests. Without the governor pushing for it, I just don’t think it’ll happen.”

Despite another potential setback in California, Christie has backed sports betting to penetrate pretty much every state eventually.

“I really believe sports betting is inevitable to go just about nationwide, because people in America love their sports, they just do,” he said. “I think it is in the leagues’ best interests to grow their audience. The government gets some piece of the pie out of that which they enjoy, and the public seems to be pretty happy for the most part.”

Depending on expansion, US sports betting could, in theory, reach every state. It would then become a national issue, but Christie has warned the federal government not to interfere.

“Let the states handle it,” he said. “The states are doing fine. You haven’t heard of anything awful or irreversible happening since each state has been involved and they should have the ability to decide whether they want gambling or not.

“I don’t think the federal government should have anything to do with it and I don’t think they ever should have. I don’t think they have to be babysitters for the governors of the country.”
