Casino Guru’s Complaint Resolution Center Reaches a Major Milestone with 5,000 resolved Complaints
Casino Guru’s Complaint Resolution Center celebrates yet another important milestone. Since its establishment in 2019, the Center has successfully resolved over 5,000 player complaints.
The Center is just one of the many initiatives launched by Casino Guru aimed at making gambling better and safer for everyone. The Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, whose goal is to create the world’s first global self-exclusion system, and the Casino Guru Academy, offering freely available educational materials for iGaming professionals, are a few other notable examples.
The most recent project to come out of Casino Guru’s factory of ideas, the Casino Guru Awards, was successfully launched in November, attracting a lot of attention from both operators and the media. The Awards even introduced a category specifically dedicated to ‘The Most Effective Handling of Complaints‘, giving Casino Guru’s complaint experts another opportunity to use their expert knowledge in practice.
The complaint team currently consists of 11 active complaint specialists and 3 first-response individuals. The first resolved complaint was successfully completed in October 2019, although reports only began to be generated a year later. Since then, the joint worth of all resolved complaints has reached USD 11,334,706. The highest resolved complaint reached the amount of CAD 612,000 (USD 475,597).
According to Petronela Kontos, Casino Guru’s Complaints Team Lead, the length of the resolution depends on many factors. While it can sometimes be done within hours, there has also been a case that has dragged on for 251 days. The average time required to resolve a complaint is 15 days.
„If you told me at the beginning of our journey that we’d one day be celebrating this milestone, it would be very hard for me to believe you. It’s mind-blowing to think about the expansion our department has undergone in recent months, not to mention the Center now being the number one source of support for both players and casinos,” Kontos replied when asked about the achievement.
“We’ve managed to become some sort of a mediator between the two parties, securing the status of an authority in the process. It makes me very proud that we’re able to do our part in spreading Casino Guru’s idea of improving the online casino industry,“ Kontos proudly added.
The Complaint Resolution Center is constantly growing, which is evidenced not only by the number of active team members, but also by the year-on-year increase in the number of resolved complaints, which currently stands at 67%. What’s more, the Center has already solved over 2,400 complaints in 2022 so far, which, compared to 1,627 complaints resolved in 2021, already represents a significant increase.
With 2022 slowly coming to an end, one can’t help but wonder how long it will take until the Centre reaches another significant milestone. The figures seem to be clear on one thing though: players like the Complaint Resolution Center, and the Centre is great at what it does.

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.
