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.

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said:
“Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage.
