Casino Guru’s Safer Gambling Efforts Reach Record Awareness in Q3/2021
Thanks to Casino Guru’s long-term efforts in making iGaming safer and promoting sustainable gambling – which have been part of the project right from the start – it is clear that these endeavors are one of Casino Guru’s priorities.
The team’s separate projects like the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, which seeks to improve responsible gambling tools available to players, and Casino Guru Academy, which aims to educate iGaming professionals for free, are a testament to that. Now that the topic of responsible and sustainable gambling is coming up more and more in the entire industry, these Casino Guru’s projects and initiatives are getting a growing amount of attention and awareness.
As a result, members of the Casino Guru team got a chance to represent the company and present their efforts to other industry leaders at some of the biggest iGaming events, including SBC Barcelona, iGB Affiliate Amsterdam, and the Discovery Conference organized by the Responsible Gambling Council, with even more conferences planned for the future.
As Casino Guru wishes to promote responsible gambling initiatives and push the industry to be more sustainable and safer for players, Simon Vincze, the company’s Responsible Gambling Projects Manager, has been featured the most. He’s attended a panel discussion related to responsible gambling at SBC Barcelona, gave a speech about sustainable approach to gambling from the side of affiliates at iGB Affiliate Amsterdam, presented the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative at the Discovery Conference, and will also talk about player protection and sustainability at the upcoming Sigma Europe conference in Malta.
Commenting on these public appearances, Vincze said, “We have been working on our responsible gambling projects for a long time now. I’ve been having fruitful remote discussions with iGaming stakeholders during the lockdowns, but it’s been great to finally talk about these important topics in person, both publicly and privately.”
He added, “I am thankful for these opportunities to go onto the stage and talk in front of a larger audience about the importance of sustainable gambling. On top of that, the conferences allowed me to get in touch with new people. These contacts can benefit our initiatives and help push them forward, and that’s one of my ultimate goals.”
In addition to Vincze, two other members of the Casino Guru team spoke publicly at SBC Barcelona. Petronela Kontos, Casino Guru’s Complaints Team Lead, also talked about responsible gambling, while Matej Novota, the team’s Head of Data & Complaints, talked about new regulations on the German market.
Casino Guru’s efforts are capturing the attention of the industry, as attested by being shortlisted at multiple iGaming award ceremonies, including the Award for Outstanding Contribution to Safer Gambling at Vixio Gambling Compliance Awards, Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year at iGB Affiliate Awards, as well as Affiliate of the Year at Sigma Europe Gaming Awards.
Vincze commented on these recognitions, “It’s an honor and joy for our entire team to see our endeavors recognized in this way. Not only does it reflect all the hard work we’ve been putting into pushing the industry to be better, but it also shows that our initiatives are heading in the right direction, and their potential impact is great. We will keep working hard towards making our goals a reality. Stay tuned!”

“I personally think the industry should view this as a positive chance to work hand-in-hand with the NHS, charities and government as all stakeholders pull together to minimise gambling harm. Gambling is meant to be fun and entertaining and the industry must ensure that it is responsible, so that those in need can gain access to properly funded support as and when they need it.”
