After months of a careful selection process, the Casino Guru Awards 2023 winners were announced during the official live ceremony streamed on YouTube and presented by Casino Guru Sustainable & Safer Gambling Lead Šimon Vincze and Casino Guru PR and External Relations Lead Daniela Kianicova. 

The winners of all seven Casino Guru Awards were revealed during the ceremony, which included a deep dive with the Casino Guru External Panel of Judges who spoke highly of the selection and evaluation processes that made it possible for Casino Guru Awards 2023 to be one of the fairest events of its kind. The winners of each category were revealed as follows:

  • The Most Impactful Social Responsibility Initiative (Kindred Group)
  • The Best Implementation of RG Tools (Mindway AI)
  • The Most Effective Handling of Complaints (Vulkan Vegas)
  • The Fairest Bonus Policy (RocketPlay Casino)
  • The Fairest General T&Cs (7BitCasino)
  • The Most Transparent Casino (Oshi.io)
  • Voice of the People (RocketPlay Casino)

Casino Guru Awards 2023 was the inaugural event of what will be a long journey for the project moving forward. The project successfully reinvented how the evaluation of participants for such events should be done, focusing on bringing judges together in-person and interviewing nominees in real-time ahead of the official ceremony.

Casino Guru’s External Panel of Judges attended a live gathering in Prague, Czech Republic in 2022 to discuss each nomination in person. The judges hailed the transparency of the process and thanked for the opportunity to meet in-person and interview nominees over a video link.

Jo Abergel, Founder – Rock Learning, Co-Founder – Ethical Gambling Forum, and Maris Catania, a prominent responsible gambling expert and consultant, both said that Casino Guru Awards had indeed achieved a very impressive level of transparency. Jody Bechtold, CEO at The Better Institute, said that the nominees were clearly companies that took their categories very seriously. Melissa Etherington, Vice President of Partnerships at Gamban, was similarly happy to see Casino Guru bring everyone together in what is a first for the industry. 

Kindred Group won the award in The Most Impactful Social Responsibility Initiative, becoming the first company to have been awarded during the Casino Guru Awards 2023 ceremony. Kindred Group’s Responsible Gaming Relationship Manager Daria-Adelina Magdoiu was pleased with the award and noted that it reflected the hard work that Kindred had done and the positive impact it has had on the industry. 

Casino Guru Awards 2023 received hundreds of nominations but in the end, Casino Guru had to pick only those companies that fully met the criteria of the categories they were applying for. The selection and evaluation process is still being worked on as Casino Guru is looking to issue new and improved guidelines for next year’s edition of the awards nominations for which will be coming in a few weeks’ time. 

“These past months have been full of challenges and new opportunities – we met great people, enjoyed a strong reception of the Casino Guru Awards, and received overwhelming feedback from some of the most prominent companies in the industry. There were many nominees competing, and we believe our shortlisting process focused on the ones that had done best in each respective category. I am extremely pleased with the turnup and the overall progress made in helping set a new standard for the industry to follow. This is just the start of a long, long journey,” Casino Guru Awards Project Lead Daniela Kianicova said.

Tzeract to provide its leading Bet Builder product in the cutting-edge supplier’s first commercial partnership

Kambi Group plc, the world’s trusted sports betting partner, today announced its AI-powered trading division Tzeract has partnered with kwiff to provide its powerful Bet Builder product to the innovative sports betting operator.

The partnership represents the first commercial deal for Tzeract since it was officially launched as a standalone division earlier this year, marking a significant step forward for Kambi as it continues to expand its range of modular services.

Tzeract will initially provide kwiff with its industry-leading Bet Builder football product ahead of the highly anticipated Euro 2024 football tournament, ensuring kwiff customers enjoy an unparalleled betting experience throughout the competition. Additional sports will be added during the course of the partnership.

Unlike other third-party products, Tzeract’s Bet Builder has been designed to seamlessly integrate into an operator’s existing sportsbook and can utilise either the operator’s existing pricing or leverage Tzeract’s AI-generated odds. Working with kwiff, the super-charged betting operator, known for its proprietary platform, sportsbook and innovative modular tech stack, presented Tzeract both of these opportunities.

Having powered football pricing for the Kambi network since 2022, Tzeract is on a mission to establish a new standard in sports betting by providing an indispensable service which empowers operator innovation and makes it possible to bet on anything, at any time.

As part of the Kambi Group, Tzeract benefits from Kambi’s vast network data to inform its state-of-the-art AI-powered algorithmic trading capabilities in combination with increasingly rich sports data.

David Jacquet, Interim Managing Director at Tzeract, commented: “I am thrilled to announce Tzeract’s inaugural commercial partnership which will enable us to demonstrate the full power of Tzeract outside of the Kambi network for the first time. To work with such an innovative sportsbook like kwiff will provide the opportunities to build the world’s most exciting and intuitive betting experiences together.”

Niklas Fallsjo, Head of Sportsbook Innovation at kwiff, added: “We are delighted to partner with Tzeract and integrate their market-leading Bet Builder product into our proprietary sportsbook. This innovative solution perfectly aligns with our commitment to providing our customers with an unrivalled and entertaining betting experience.

What are the current trends or challenges you’re seeing in the iGaming market? How is Wise Gaming adapting to these changes?

The speed in which technology advances is always a challenge for any provider. The key is to know your markets, the players, the accessibility of online entertainment such a sports betting & casinos and implement the technology that meets these variables. Everyone is talking about AI & Machine learning, and rightly so! With such advancements AI & Machine Learning models, it would be irresponsible not to utilize them.

At Wise Gaming we have already implemented A.I & Machine Learning models

How does Wise Gaming ensure compliance with regulations in various jurisdictions? How important is regulatory adherence in your sales approach?

I will answer these 2 questions together. The market is experiencing a shift in regulation, and compliance. MGA & CGA license domination has been challenged, with more and more markets opting for tighter safety measures and implementing their own self-regulated approach. This brings safety to players and trust.

Working alongside regulators will always help, and more importantly, we can learn from each other. Adhering to regulation is ultimately for a player’s safety and that is paramount for the industry’s longevity. Wise Gaming continuously enhances its platform to conform with regulations, making it safe and reliable for our partners.

What are the key factors potential clients considering when choosing an iGaming provider, and how does Wise Gaming address these factors in its offerings?

As previously mentioned, experience and knowledge are key attributes from both an operational and technical aspect. “You can’t plant apple trees and expect to get oranges!” Wise Gaming’s experience & knowledge puts us, and our partners, at the forefront of each market, allowing substantial growth and higher ROI.

Time to market should also be a priority. Whilst most Providers offer 2-4 months implementation time, Wise Gaming can deploy your platform within 2-4 weeks, giving us the competitive edge in a highly competitive space.

How does Wise Gaming incorporate feedback from clients into product development and improvement?

Experience and knowledge are simply 1’s learning over time. Our approach at Wise Gaming is that of a learning mentality, “you are never too old to learn!” iGaming is rich in experts – We trust our Partners, and they trust us, it’s the unification that builds long-term partnerships. We have 2 ears and 1 mouth, use them in that order!
