Casino Guru’s Complaint Resolution Center Reaches a Major Milestone with 5,000 resolved Complaints

 

Casino Guru, the world’s biggest database of online casinos and a source of verified information about online gambling, has recently promoted Šimon Vincze to the position of Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead.

With several years of experience in project and event management from other companies, Vincze joined the Casino Guru team back in the summer of 2020. He took charge of the team’s most ambitious responsible gambling project, the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, which aims to create the first global self-exclusion system to improve the safety of players all around the world. He also assumed control over Casino Guru Academy, the company’s platform with free educational courses for gambling industry professionals.

Vincze commented on his early days at Casino Guru and progress so far, “Joining the Casino Guru team was a leap in the dark and a great challenge for me. Ever since I joined, I’ve been taking on more and more responsibilities and working towards our goal of improving online gambling for everyone. Thanks to valuable feedback from industry professionals and advancements in responsible gambling, we now know how to reach this goal better than ever before.”

He added, “I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in making gambling safer and excited to see the future impact of our endeavors. I am also thankful for becoming a part of such a great team, as well as meeting many inspiring professionals at industry events and conferences.”

The new position of Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead reflects Vincze’s new responsibilities, as well as the growing importance of sustainable gambling for Casino Guru and the entire gambling industry. This includes reflecting operators’ responsible gambling tools in Casino Guru’s reviews and making sure that safer gambling best practices are applied in anything the team does.

At the moment, Vincze and his growing team are busy with new projects and preparation for ICE London 2022, where they will represent the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and raise awareness of the issues it addresses. A major part of these efforts revolves around releasing a blue paper detailing a proposed implementation of a global self-exclusion system and creating a unique tool that will guide vulnerable players through self-excluding from their existing gambling accounts. In these projects, Vincze leads a team of programmers, designers, content specialists, and other team members.

Vincze shared his excitement about recent progress and new challenges, “There is an exciting journey ahead of us, and I cannot wait to see our projects improved and developed throughout the year. Apart from the Initiative, I also focus on connecting problem gambling help organizations with players who need their help. We are working on the first global database of these organizations to help struggling individuals find professional help quickly and effectively.”

Vincze’s recent promotion is part of Casino Guru’s growth in all aspects. Besides the advancements in his team, Casino Guru is expanding efforts in areas and constantly looking for new talent to increase the scope of their projects, further improve the quality of products and services offered to visitors, and increase the positive impact on the gambling industry and player safety.

FAVBET apps receive ‘Lite Mode’ for slower networks

 

The newly revealed ‘Lite Mode’ setting is now available in both the FAVBET’s Android and iOS apps and lets users have quality gaming experience on weaker connections.

The company said that the new mode allows its apps to be used even with minimal internet connectivity during the massive blackouts or power outages.

“We have thoroughly reviewed traffic consumption, turned off everything that wasn’t important for gaming, optimized app performance, and reduced the number of autoloads. That is, we only left the things you need to continue to comfortably use the app and enjoy the game,” the company said in a statement.

‘Lite Mode’ can be activated in the user settings. Once it’s on, the app will not automatically download advertising images and game covers, and will limit the frequency of updates to reduce traffic. That said, the app’s functionality will remain unchanged. Users are also advised to switch to a dark theme for additional charge savings.

According to FAVBET, they continue to work on improving the apps and optimizing the ‘Lite Mode’ for better user experience and comfort.

Fiat & Crypto: King Billy players get the best of both worlds

Fiat & Crypto: King Billy players get the best of both worlds

 

See how the casino players can deposit in crypto and play in fiat. 

Since the dawn of e-gaming robust payment systems have been crucial for the success of any online casino, as they are a key factor in creating a positive and satisfying gaming experience. Moreover, the availability of different payment options allows players to choose the method that works best for them, whether it be classical fiat money or cryptocurrency.

But is it possible for an operator to give its players the best of both worlds, fiat and crypto at once? Yes, it is, with the King Billy feature “deposit in crypto, play in fiat”. The concept is simple. A casino player deposits in crypto (choosing among 4 cryptocurrencies King Billy supports). Then, the system automatically shows them their balance in the currency of their choice (among the 14 currencies King Billy supports, used by more than 3 billion people worldwide). When the players withdraw, their transaction takes place back in crypto. 

What are the advantages of this system? Ruslan Legenzov, King Billy Casino Head of Affiliates (or “Lord of Affiliates” as the internal etiquette demands) has the answers: “Good things come in threes, and there are certainly 3 very good things about our “deposit in crypto, play in fiat” feature.

First of all, depositing in crypto means less hassle and paperwork for the player and elimination of the dreaded “transaction not coming through” issue. This has been a problem and actually a torment for many of our players in remote areas of the world. As a global casino, we are happy to act in ways that give peace of mind to our players.

Secondly, this system offers a greater player experience to the King Billy Citizens and Nobles, as they can now take advantage of our numerous promotions and offers in fiat. For example, players who deposit in crypto can now participate in our extremely popular fiat-only “Slot of the Month” offer, that’s been a staple of our casino since our launch. 

Finally, with “deposit in crypto, play in fiat” our players, especially the not so cryptocurrency-savvy have a much clearer understanding of their wins or losses. I am sure that a player, let’s say from Vietnam, prefers to see, in real time, how much his slot win is worth in the Vietnamese Dong than running in parallel a crypto converter tool to do the math!”

Well said and well done your Majesty. 

For those interested in the “deposit in crypto, play in fiat” feature, King Billy Casino accepts the following currencies: Euro (€), US Dollar ($), Canadian Dollar (C$), Australian Dollar (A$), New Zealand Dollar (NZ$), Norwegian Krone (kr), Indian Rupee (₹), South African Rand (R), Vietnamese dong (₫), Indonesian rupiah (Rp), Malaysian ringgit (RM), Thai baht (฿) and the Philippine peso (₱). King Billy also accepts the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Tether (USDT).

King Billy Casino is a new-generation online casino, launched on St. Patrick’s Day in 2017. It is available in 4 languages (English, German, French and Finnish) and it has an impressive record in awards with 25 wins, shortlists and other distinctions, and an amazing variety of features and games. King Billy has prioritized the creation of a superb user experience, focusing on the myth of King Billy and his Kingdom and treats all players with the specialness they deserve.

Records tumble as iGB Affiliate London grows attendance by 40% with delegates travelling from 101 nations

 

The 2023 edition of iGB Affiliate London has broken all records with more attendees travelling from more countries than at any time in the event’s history. The number of unique show visitors attending iGB Affiliate London ’23 totaled 5,763 a 40% uplift on the April 2022 edition (4,116) and 19% ahead of 2020 (4,844) which was the last edition of iGB Affiliate London to take place prior to Covid. The number of visitor days which measures return visits, stands at 7,176.

The brand’s impressive international credentials were once again in evidence with visitors travelling to London from 101 nations – the first time that iGB Affiliate London has broken through the symbolic ‘three figures’ for international representation.

With every show metric in positive territory Portfolio Director Naomi Barton expressed her thanks to the entire iGB Affiliate community for its support and for helping to make the 2023 edition so successful. She stated: “We’ve worked in partnership with colleagues active in the iGaming Affiliate sector to deliver an event that provides what the industry requires across all fronts.

“Our focus was to deliver on our pledge to provide delegates with access to new business strategies, new thinking, new trends, new technologies and new content, in the process keeping the iGB Affiliate London proposition fresh and compelling.”

“This edition of iGB Affiliate London was physically the largest on record and the continued demand for space from both new and existing exhibitors underlines the fact that iGB Affiliate London is regarded by our stakeholders -who are based throughout the world –  as being their flagship event.”

“Significantly 24% of attendees were making their first appearance at iGB Affiliate London with 1 in 10 affiliate visitors new to gambling. The ability to bring new people into the igaming affiliate space represents an important attribute of the brand.”

Away from the exhibition show floor a total of 450 sector professionals attended the prestigious iGB Affiliate Awards which recognized the ‘best of the best’ across 19 categories. Better Collective Co-founders, Jesper Søaard (CEO) and Christian Kirk Rasmussen (COO) were awarded with the blue riband ‘Affiliate Idol – Lifetime Achievement Award’ for their successful contributions to the industry.

On receiving the Award Jesper Søgaard, Co-founder and CEO said: “I speak for Christian too, when I say that it is an incredibly humbling feeling to not only have been considered but chosen to receive the Affiliate Idol Award. Christian and I may have laid the foundation for something great but without our dedicated colleagues, Better Collective would not be where it is today. I am very honoured but also trust that with our vision to become the Leading Digital Sports Media Group, ‘the best has yet to come’.”

The Affiliate Awards sponsors comprised V.Partners (Stage Sponsor), Safe Affiliates Programs (Photobooth), YGAM (Safer Gambling) and Trueplay (NFT).
