Casino Guru Celebrates Year of Unprecedented Growth and Achievement
Casino Guru, the world’s premier independent online casino resource, is thrilled to commemorate a year of unparalleled growth and achievement. Let’s delve into the remarkable milestones and advancements that have solidified Casino Guru’s standing as a global leader in the online casino industry.
Over the past year, Casino Guru has made significant strides in various areas, consistently prioritizing transparency, fair practices, and the dissemination of information regarding responsible gaming. It continues to uphold its position as the largest online casino database, featuring reviews of over 6,200 casinos, with more than 450 online casinos having already adjusted their terms and conditions based on Casino Guru’s recommendations to safeguard players. Beyond providing transparent information, Casino Guru’s expansive online gambling forum has further solidified its reputation, surpassing the milestone of 4,000 monthly posts for the first time and nearing the 5,000 mark, reinforcing its stronghold within the industry. Additionally, the user review system has been enhanced to ensure that the summary user rating accurately reflects the casino’s reputation among the gaming public.
In line with its commitment to transparency, the Casino Guru News project has undergone significant enhancements. Launched in early 2022, Casino Guru News covers the latest events, stories, and updates from the gambling industry, focusing specifically on online gambling. The platform now includes interviews with Casino Guru Insiders employees, opinion pieces written by industry experts, insightful webinars featuring exclusive guests, and additional video content on the newly launched Casino Guru News YouTube channel.
One of Casino Guru’s most notable projects, the Casino Guru Awards, has also seen improvements, with the addition of new categories, judges, and a notable increase in company nominations vying for recognition. Again, the awards jury convened in Bratislava in November to evaluate shortlisted companies, culminating in the official announcement of winners during a live ceremony scheduled for February 21st.
Casino Guru’s dedication to responsible gaming initiatives has earned it the prestigious award for Best Safer Gambling Campaign, along with partnerships with organizations such as Mindway AI. The company actively participated in global conferences, showcasing its initiatives aimed at supporting responsible gaming practices.
Furthermore, the Casino Guru Academy has developed four new courses focused on various aspects of the industry, including player verification, ESG in gambling, customer complaint handling, and affiliate management, reaffirming its commitment to professional development and industry standards.
As part of the Global Self Exclusion Initiative, Casino Guru launched the Self-exclusion Standards project in collaboration with international gambling experts and a prestigious City, University of London, aiming to establish best practices for self-exclusion.
Noteworthy achievements in the Complaint Resolution Center include the publication of 12,161 complaints and the resolution of 3,428, amounting to an impressive $11,279,425 in savings. Compared to the previous year, this represents a 28% increase in published complaints, a 22% increase in resolved complaints, and a remarkable 37% increase in saved money.
Amidst these achievements, Casino Guru remains steadfast in its mission to provide comprehensive and reliable information to the online gambling community. The company is committed to continuous innovation, responsible gambling practices, and fostering a trustworthy and engaging online environment for its visitors and the broader public.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.
The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.
Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.
Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:
“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”
The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.
The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.
Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
