Casino Guru Academy Launches a Highly Anticipated Course on Online Casino Complaints Handling Best Practices
Casino Guru, a renowned gambling resource dedicated to providing valuable information about online casinos, has recently unveiled a free online course dedicated to “Online Casino Complaints Handling Best Practices.” The course marks the sixth addition to the Casino Guru Academy and offers an in-depth look at Casino Guru’s tried-and-true methods for complaints handling. In addition to showcasing the leading examples of complaints from various areas, including delayed payments, verification, lost or misplaced deposits, blocked accounts, and more, the course uncovers best practices for operators when addressing them.
Casino Guru is no stranger to complaints handling – their very own Complaint Resolution Center has been playing a pivotal role in advocating for fair and transparent treatment of players since 2019. The Center has processed nearly 30,000 complaints since its inception, successfully resolving over 8,000 of them and returning an astounding $24,030,582 to online casino players. It is the expert knowledge of Casino Guru’s complaint specialists that powers the newest course, giving operators a unique opportunity to learn from the biggest and most prominent complaint resolution center of its kind.
In just 90 minutes, participants can now complete the free course and earn a certificate showcasing their commitment to enhancing player care. This opportunity not only provides them with the skills to effectively handle player complaints, but it also helps casinos prevent complaints in general. As a result, casinos can enjoy a bolstered reputation, as well as better player experience. Now available on the Academy website, the course is a must-do for every operator striving to improve their business and stay competitive in today’s player-centric world of online gambling.
Šimon Vincze, Sustainable & Safer Gambling Lead at Casino Guru, expressed his enthusiasm for the new course, stating, “The demand for the services of our Center has continuously been increasing, and this trend seems to show no signs of stopping. While it’s comforting that players continue to turn to us for assistance, the growing number of complaints signals potential issues on the operators’ end. This course is the culmination of the extensive experience gathered by our complaint resolution team over the years, and our hope is that it finds its audience and helps operators handle complaints in a more efficient way.“
Building upon their expertise, the complaint team at Casino Guru played a pivotal role in another triumphant venture – the prestigious Casino Guru Awards. The inaugural awarding ceremony, held earlier this year, revealed the winner of an important category, ‘The Most Effective Handling of Complaints,’ which gives recognition to the operator who is constantly going above and beyond in making sure player complaints receive the attention they deserve.
The team is also already working on an in-depth course centered around unfair rules in online casinos. This future addition, a follow-up to the complaints handling course, will showcase why some rules used by online casinos, although looking beneficial at first glance, may actually turn out to be more trouble than they’re worth.

EasyWin closes second seed round at $20m valuation
Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.
EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.
The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.
EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.
Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.
The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.
Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.
“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”
According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.
The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.
Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
