Casino Guru Complaints Resolution Center Breaks Another Record: Almost $1 Million Returned to Players in May 2022

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

 

May has become a new record month for Casino Guru whose Complaints team has seen $915,000 returned to unfairly treated players across the world. The team has received 822 and resolved 265 complaints in May, spending a total of 1,114 hours on the cases. This makes it the new record for the company.

Casino Guru, the most extensive database of online casinos and a respected gambling authority, is well known for its safer and responsible gambling practices within the industry. Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, Casino Guru Academy, and even the recently launched database of problem gambling help organizations are just some examples of the many ways through which Casino Guru is trying to make a safer gambling environment for players.

With the number of players mistreated by casinos turning to Casino Guru for help increasing on a monthly basis, the quality of the Complaints team’s services cannot be denied. In comparison with May 2021, the number of published complaints in May 2022 has almost doubled from 452 to 822. In fact, since its launch, Casino Guru’s Complaints Resolution Center has become an unrivaled leader in the complaint resolution segment.

A total of 1,113 complaints have been solved since the beginning of the year, with impressive $2,952,404 returned to players to this day. Casino Guru’s highest resolved complaint of this year came from a player who managed to win 170,000€ but, once requesting a loss limit, found his account completely restricted, unable to withdraw any of the winnings.

Petronela Kontos, Complaints Team Lead, who recently debated the complaints statistics at the CasinoBeats Summit in Malta, commented on the team’s achievements: „Speaking for the whole Complaints team, it just feels amazing to see the amount of trust the players place into our hands. The Complaints Resolution Center was launched a little less than three years ago, and as of this very moment, we can proudly call ourselves the leaders of the segment. Of course, as is the case with all other Casino Guru projects, we are continuously working on new improvements so that we can continue to make playing as frictionless as possible.“

But the increase in complaints brings another important challenge for Casino Guru: workforce. „We will always resolve players’ complaints free of charge. That’s something we are very adamant about. And the fact that we constantly need to hire new help to keep resolving all of the complaints only shows one thing: that Casino Guru is fully determined to invest into projects like ours – projects that make gambling better and safer. I even dare to say that all of us here at Casino Guru are proud of the impact we’re constantly leaving behind,“ Kontos concluded.

In order to bridge the gap between players and operators, it’s important that Casino Guru keeps on being the mediator in resolving these complaints. Every complaint influences Casino Guru’s overall rating of the casino, which gives the operators an incentive they previously didn’t have. This way, apart from directly helping players to resolve their cases, Casino Guru is indirectly pressuring operators into being more responsible and fairer towards their players.

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

Published

on

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.

In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”

So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.

The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters

Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.

Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.

It’s simple:

  • Informed players make better choices.
  • Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
  • Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way. 

Meet the MegaList Brands

These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.

MegaCasinoList


Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.

That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.

They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.

MegaTipsList

If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.

MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.

Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.

MegaBetList

For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.

MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.

From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.

Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)

The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.

That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.

And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:

“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”

For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.

So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”

 MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.
