Casino Guru Academy Launches Free Course About Casino Bonuses
Casino Guru, one of the most visited websites about online casinos and an online gambling authority, has recently introduced the second module of the company’s ambitious project Casino Guru Academy. The second course aims to provide online casino staff with advanced insights into bonuses and ways to handle them fairly.
The ‘Advanced Insights: Online Casino Bonuses’ course will enable online casino employees to gain a deep understanding of casino bonuses, including their rules and best practices, in order to help reduce player dissatisfaction and improve customer experience.
Every month, hundreds of players from all over the world seek help at Casino Guru by submitting complaints against unfair casinos that have exploited them in the past. Because of their complex nature, the Casino Guru complaint team has noticed that bonuses are oftentimes at the forefront of players’ complaints. The casino guide is keen to give those working within the industry, or planning to, a detailed tutorial on bonuses and to show how they can work in an effective and fair way. The more educated casino customer support staff is on bonuses, the more likely it is for players to have a positive gambling experience.
Being the second module offered by Casino Guru Academy, this course is a combination of videos and written learning materials, made to be self-explanatory and easy for participants to understand. The first part of the course offers detailed insights on the different types of bonuses and why casinos offer them to players.
Part two provides in-depth definitions of individual terms and conditions of bonuses, which are one of the common reasons why players reach out to customer support. The course also features a list of recommendations on terms and conditions related to bonuses. More specifically, how they should be written and structured so that they are as fair as possible and no place for misunderstandings is present.
Real-life examples of certain player complaints related to bonuses are provided, showing detailed examples of how various casinos mistreat and take advantage of players. Moreover, course participants can see how the complaints were resolved by Casino Guru.
Speaking on the reasons for providing the course to casino employees, Casino Guru’s Social Media and Community lead Daniel Dolejsi said: “We think education is extremely important in this industry. We like to educate our visitors, who are casino players, to help them make good decisions. Our experience showed us that educating casino employees is needed as well.”
“We feel that many of the issues that players run into when playing with casino bonuses could be less likely to happen if customer support representatives and other casino employees understood certain concepts of online gambling better and were able to look at them from the perspective of the player.”
Dolejsi concluded: “We also feel that some of the current industry standards don’t do enough in terms of protecting players and creating a sustainable and fair gambling environment. That’s why we plan to also focus on more senior employees which will hopefully increase standards to make gambling safer for everyone.”
With the course being free, feedback received by Casino Guru suggests it’s more helpful than other similar courses, which are often paid. By running the Academy courses, Casino Guru is sharing its know-how to help current and aspirational industry staff prepare for a job within the industry. Casino Guru Academy is an innovative way of contributing to the protection of players and therefore making gambling better and safer for everyone.

Affiliate Announcements
Management Buyout Successfully Completed at ReferOn
ReferOn, an affiliate management platform for the iGaming sector, today revealed the successful conclusion of a management buyout. Former General Manager Alex Bukin purchases the platform, moving the company into its next stage of independent growth. Bukin will take on the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to advance the company.
Assessing the platform’s path three years after its launch, Alex Bukin, CEO of ReferOn remarked: “This is a significant moment for ReferOn and marks the start of a new phase for the company.” The management buyout offers us the long-term perspective needed to consistently enhance the platform. We uphold our dedication to product development, enhancing our solutions for partners, and facilitating ReferOn’s ongoing expansion in significant markets.
The acquisition comes after a significant phase of advancement for the firm. Established on a base of operational effectiveness and scalable technology, ReferOn persists in expanding its footprint throughout the industry. In its initial year, the platform announced 35.7 million clicks, 2.4 million sign-ups, 18,000 affiliates, and 136,000 active trackers. The company’s extensive range of tools enhances flexibility for operators and affiliates, generating momentum that recently led to ReferOn being recognized as the “Best Affiliate Platform” in 2025 and 2026 by key industry players.
This change will not impact daily operations; assistance and current collaborations will continue as normal. As part of its continuous growth strategy, ReferOn is enhancing its product lineup with the introduction of new features, such as Refie, the integrated interface layer of the platform. The platform continually improves user experience and security via dynamic reporting, Company Grouping, Sub-Affiliation, Independent Deal Calculation (IDC), two-factor authentication (2FA), and thorough mobile optimization.
To maintain operational continuity, the current leadership team stays intact, guaranteeing stability as the company moves into its next phase of growth. With Bukin’s appointment as CEO, Vlad Bondarenko has moved from Head of Product to Chief Product Officer, and David Harris, who was previously Operations Lead, has become Chief Operations Officer. As the organization embarks on its next phase, it continues to prioritize equipping operators with top-tier tools and a dedication to providing the future of affiliate management.
