Casino Guru Awards returns for 2nd edition with nominations now underway
The Casino Guru Awards have returned and the nominations for one of the world’s most transparent iGaming ceremonies are now open. Casino Guru Awards 2024 will continue the message and mission outlined during the inaugural event, and this is to introduce a new, transparent, and fair approach towards distinguishing accomplishments and achievements in the iGaming industry.
Last year’s success was based on the painstaking work that Casino Guru’s team did in bringing judges together, and creating the opportunity for each nominated brand to demonstrate and convince the panels why their brand should win the respective silverware.
Casino Guru has set a new golden standard for conducting such ceremonies by relying on an expert of internal team members who are prominent industry experts on matters ranging from social responsibility to casino terms and conditions, and an external panel of judges represented by some of the world’s best experts on responsible gambling.
In 2024, Casino Guru Awards sets to improve its track record and ensure that the Awards will be bigger, better, and more exciting, with more applicants joining us at the official ceremony.
Nominations for Casino Guru Awards 2024 are now open, and applications will be accepted until the end of October 2023. The Awards process will follow the same timeline as last year, with the shortlists announced in December 2023. The Voting for “Voice of the People” will get underway in December 2023 as well. All winners will then be announced during the official ceremony in February 2024.
Casino Guru Awards Project Lead Daniela Kianicová had this to say, celebrating the beginning of the latest application process:
“I cannot believe that it’s time for nominations again! When we introduced the Casino Guru Awards in 2022, we couldn’t dream of how far the project would go. Now, the journey continues as Casino Guru Awards has the opportunity to do something amazing for the industry and how companies and professionals are distinguished.
We are excited to open the nominations for the new edition, and we are confident we will see many new and former applicants join us as our event is going to once again offer a great opportunity for participants to demonstrate the value they have been bringing to the industry and consumers.”
Casino Guru Awards 2024 will bring back the seven categories previous participants are already familiar with, including:
The Fairest Bonus Policy
The Fairest General T&Cs
The Most Impactful Social Responsibility Initiative
The Best Implementation of RG Tools
The Most Transparent Casino
The Most Effective Handling of Complaints
The Most Ethical Approach to Marketing
Voice of the People
The Voice of the People category where you get to decide the winner is also going to be featured as part of the upcoming edition. The innovation here is also the inclusion of “The Most Ethical Approach to Marketing” category which will once again raise the bar for participants by distinguishing companies who have demonstrated that they have a responsible approach to their marketing.
Casino Guru continues to aspire to achieving a new transparent standard for nominating and awarding companies, something which company Sustainable & Safer Gambling Lead Šimon Vincze said last year was an ever-evolving process that Casino Guru will strive to continuously improve upon. This commitment will be undoubtedly reflected in the upcoming edition. Stay tuned for more updates as more information about Casino Guru Awards 2024 is forthcoming.

Arizona Department of Gaming Investigation into Illegal Gambling Leads to Record-Breaking Firearms Seizure
Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) Intelligence Agents, with aid from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (“AZDPS”), successfully concluded an investigation into an alleged illegal gambling operation involving gun raffles in Tucson, Arizona.
This operation resulted in the arrest of two (2) individuals, who face multiple felony charges, and the seizure of four hundred and fifty-two (452) firearms, plus ammunition, firearm accessories, over $4000 in cash, and bank accounts.
“Record-breaking seizures like this only further highlight the criminal activity that illegal gambling establishments attract when they go unregulated, posing a significant threat to public safety,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “I commend the exceptional work of our ADG Intelligence Unit for their unwavering dedication in investigating and addressing illegal gambling activities throughout the state. Their thorough and diligent efforts play a crucial role in protecting the public and ensuring compliance with Arizona’s gaming laws. I also want to extend my appreciation to our partners at the Arizona Department of Public Safety for their vital support during this enforcement operation.”
“I would like to congratulate the Arizona Department of Gaming on this sizable seizure of weapons and ammunition. Thanks to their efforts, two criminals are off the streets, and over 450 firearms are no longer available for criminal use.” Said Colonel Jeffrey Glover, Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. “I’m proud of the work done by my agency and we will continue to assist any law enforcement agency that requests our help. Collaboration between agencies in the State of Arizona is stronger today than ever, and the AZDPS will always be dedicated to those continued partnerships.”
Following this recent enforcement action, the Arizona Department of Gaming urges residents to exercise caution when conducting raffles, bingo, or other forms of social, amusement, or charitable gambling to ensure they are in full compliance with the law. ADG takes complaints about illegal gambling seriously. To report suspected illegal gambling activity, visit our website, call (602) 255-3886, or email [email protected]. You can remain anonymous.
