The increasing number of visitors noticed several on-site improvements over the year, and the entire gambling market has been witnessing the team’s efforts aimed at safer and more sustainable gambling, like the Casino Guru Academy and Global Self-exclusion Initiative.
The website’s user-centric approach is evident in the uptake of activities that help them directly, such as helping players mistreated by online casinos in their Complaint Resolution Center. The team of almost 20 complaint resolution experts has been doing a great job, as evidenced by the all-time high of 619 complaints about casinos received in December.
Over 2021, the team has recorded 5,532 new complaints in the system. Of these, 1,631 have been resolved, with a total disputed amount returned to players of $4,243,557. This represents a substantial growth from 2020 levels, when the team has published 4,110 complaints, of which 746 have been resolved, with the total disputed amount of $1,750,038.
The site’s multilingual gambling forum has been subject to an even higher growth. Based on its usage statistics from 2021, the forum has become a major part of the online gambling community, currently being one of the two most active and visited forums in online gambling.
In 2021, the Casino Guru forum has received over 11,000 posts from 2,292 unique users, while 45,000 new users have created their accounts. These numbers mean that in approximately one and a half years since launch, the forum has managed to overtake its competition that has been active for over 10 or even 20 years.
Other parts of the Casino Guru website have seen fruitful changes too. The site’s design and development teams have worked in hundreds of new features and improvements. The most notable ones include the ability of users to rate and review online casinos, new homepage, new newsletter options, and the ability to discuss individual casinos right on their review pages. With user experience in mind, the team has further improved the site’s usability on mobile devices, made the registration process simpler, and fine-tuned the language settings that allow users to customize the website to match their needs and preferences.
2021 has also seen Casino Guru’s database of free casino games break the milestone of 10,000 games thanks to over 1,500 new titles added to the collection.
Finally, Casino Guru’s endeavors related to improving the entire gambling industry have captured significant attention, thanks to which multiple team members have taken part in some of the biggest gambling industry conferences and events as speakers and got an opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas, and projects. The importance and impact of these efforts is evidenced by being shortlisted for multiple industry awards.
Casino Guru plans to cater to the increasing number of users who turn to the website with their gambling-related queries by continuing to improve the quality of their services and content, which remains the team’s priority, as well as bringing innovative new features and ways to make online gambling better and safer for everyone.

Spanish online casino operator Tiki Taka Play has partnered with NetRefer, the industry’s leading data-driven, AI-powered affiliate marketing platform, to power and manage its affiliate programme as the brand continues to grow its presence in Spain’s regulated online gaming market.
First launched in early 2025, Tiki Taka Play marked a significant step in the digital expansion of Grupo Tiki Taka Games, a national company with more than 50 years of experience in the land-based gaming sector. Originally established as a family-run gaming machine business, the group has grown into a recognised operator within Spain’s leisure and entertainment industry, with operations spanning gaming halls, betting venues, and amusement activities.
With Tiki Taka Play, the group extends that experience into the digital environment. The platform has been developed to bring the standards of its land-based operations online, offering players a structured and reliable gaming experience built around accessibility, trust, and long-term engagement.
The operator’s online catalogue includes a wide selection of slots alongside classic table games such as blackjack and roulette, as well as immersive live casino experiences. This curated offering allows Tiki Taka Play to cater to a broad spectrum of player preferences while maintaining a professional and consistent gameplay environment.
Operating within Spain’s regulated gaming framework, Tiki Taka Play holds the relevant licences granted by the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ). Compliance, transparency, and responsible gaming therefore, sit at the centre of the operator’s approach, reinforcing the standards that have guided Grupo Tiki Taka Games throughout its decades-long presence in the industry.
Affiliate marketing forms a central pillar of Tiki Taka Play’s growth strategy as the brand establishes its presence in the competitive Spanish online gaming market. By selecting NetRefer, the operator gains access to a platform designed to deliver performance clarity, reliable tracking, and efficient partner management. Through NetRefer’s API technology, Tiki Taka Play benefits from seamless data transfer and real-time integration, allowing the operator to manage affiliate data accurately while maintaining operational efficiency across its programme.

Solutions such as NetRefer BI Analytics enable advanced and customisable reporting, while NetRefer CoPilot AI enhances access to performance insights and operational knowledge through intelligent, data-driven assistance.
Reflecting on the process of selecting an affiliate platform, Marc De Rueda Colomés, COO of Tiki Taka Play, said, “When preparing the launch of Tiki Taka Play, we spoke with a number of our affiliates to understand which platforms they trusted most. NetRefer consistently stood out as one of the most balanced solutions in terms of service and value. The platform’s reporting and analytics tools are already proving valuable for our team, and the professionalism and dedication shown by the NetRefer team from the beginning of our collaboration have reinforced our confidence in the partnership.”
Greice Bezerra, Regional Acquisitions Specialist at NetRefer, commented, “Tiki Taka Play’s partnership with NetRefer represents an exciting step in the digital evolution of Grupo Tiki Taka Games. We’re proud to support their team with reliable technology and flexible integrations that provide the transparency, performance insights, and operational confidence needed to build and scale a successful affiliate programme in the competitive Spanish online gaming market.”
As Tiki Taka Play continues to expand its presence in Spain’s regulated online gaming market, the partnership with NetRefer provides the technology and operational foundation needed to support the growth of its affiliate programme. With greater performance visibility, advanced reporting capabilities, and scalable affiliate infrastructure, the operator is well-positioned to strengthen its partner network and drive sustainable digital growth.
