Casino Guru Marks 2021 as Its Most Successful Year Ever
The year 2021 has been full of reached milestones and achievements for Casino Guru. 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. Stay tuned!
