Over 2/3 of Gambling Experts Believe in Global Self-exclusion, Casino Guru Survey Reveals

Published

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

 

A survey by the world’s biggest casino database, online gambling authority, and activist for sustainable gambling measures, Casino Guru, found 70% of respondents believed the company’s proposed Global Self-exclusion system (GSE) is a tool the industry needs.

The Casino Guru’s Global Self-exclusion Initiative was revealed to the public at large in March 2021. Since then, the project’s manager Simon Vincze has been engaging in initial meetings with various industry authorities and supplying the site with a steady supply of articles discussing the Initiative’s objective, plan of action, and latest developments.

Self-exclusion schemes are an integral part of the gambling industry’s effort to help prevent the proliferation of gambling addiction within its player base. However, the currently available solutions have been betrayed time and time again by the relative ease with which self-excluded players can gamble with foreign online operators.

Casino Guru felt that the solution to this issue was evident – a global self-exclusion scheme. And though creating such a system is easier said than done, the company did not waste any time laying down the groundwork for its envisioned solution.

In preparation for their latest article discussing the proposed solutions and potential concerns of the GSE, the team behind the Initiative ran an anonymous survey among a selected number of industry insiders polling them on their opinions.

Casino Guru’s findings

In total, 41 industry insiders partook in the survey. The majority, 41.5%, was neutral in regards to the current self-exclusion options. The remainder of the company’s survey sample was split directly down the middle, 29.3% feeling dissatisfied and 29.3% satisfied.

To Casino Guru’s delight, an overwhelming majority of 70% thought that the GSE was a good idea. In subsequent questions, 67.5% of people thought a global self-exclusion scheme could improve the overall reliability of self-exclusions in general, and 51.2% even felt that it could become the new industry standard.

Perhaps more than anything, the survey showed the true necessity of creating comprehensive informational content regarding the Initiative, as some respondents either misunderstood or had trouble properly grasping the subject. However, the survey also revealed several well-founded questions and concerns. All of these will be thoroughly discussed in an upcoming article on the Global Self-exclusion site, but here are two of Casino Guru’s favorites as a preview.

One common concern voiced by multiple respondents was that self-exclusion, in general, is an insufficient “cure” for problem gambling. And Casino Guru agrees. It is not enough to simply stop problem players from gambling. Instead, the GSE seeks to address the issue by cooperating more closely with problem gambling help organizations. Gamblers registering for the global self-exclusion scheme will be given the option of requesting that a social worker contacts them about their problem. Furthermore, we intend on providing individuals with the additional option of selecting the help organization of their choice, where they wish to undergo consultations and treatment.

The second concern the company wanted to highlight was the prevalent concern that a global self-exclusion scheme may force some players towards illegal gambling. Unfortunately, this is an entirely valid worry, as it is essentially impossible to safeguard the entire market. However, the GSE can fight against this unwanted consequence by limiting the options self-excluded gamblers have for illegal gambling, creating a space that is easier to monitor and lends itself better to proactive problem gambling prevention efforts.

In closing, the topic of a global self-exclusion system is and will likely remain a source of great contention not only within the gambling sphere but among the general public as well. However, Casino Guru is not giving up on their mission and believes that activities such as these will, in time, undoubtedly bear fruit, and their vision will become a reality.

 

About Casino Guru

Casino Guru originally began as nothing more than a simple online casino database, seeking to provide helpful, relevant, and up-to-date information to its visitors. However, since its inception, it has grown to become the biggest of its kind. In time, the company branched out and is currently operating a successful online gambling forum, an online casino complaint center, and publishes in-depth articles on gambling mechanics and problem gambling. Most recently, Casino Guru created an Academy for educating future employees in the gambling sphere and the Global Self-exclusion Initiative described in this article.

These activities are inspired by the company’s wholehearted belief in the need for the proliferation of sustainable gambling practices within the industry and the protection of problem gamblers.

N1 Partners Drops Prediction Markets Vertical — Expand Your Traffic Strategy!

Published

on

N1 Partners team has launched a new Prediction Markets vertical on the N1 Bet product, which is a new betting format for real events with simple yes/no mechanics. This is the first and so far the only SOFTSWISS product that works with this niche.

This vertical opens up expanded opportunities for partners: it provides access to a fresh audience, and also allows you to monetize and scale traffic from various sources — from politics and finance to entertainment and show business — as efficiently as possible.

What is the real benefit for partners and how does it work? Read all about the Prediction Markets vertical in the article.

Prediction Markets vertical: what is it?

Prediction Markets is a unique betting format for real non-sporting events, where the user chooses “yes” or “no” to the potential event outcome (for example, elections, the Eurovision Contest, the Oscar Awards).

Users can bet on topics in the following areas:

  • politics (elections, geopolitical events)
  • cryptocurrencies and financial markets
  • technology and business
  • social trends and global narratives
  • entertainment and show business

The format is as simple as possible, does not require experience and knowledge in classic betting, therefore it may be of interest to a wide audience.

Why is the Prediction Markets format worth a test?

It is crucial to note that Prediction Markets is not just another feature; it is a unique vertical that gives access to a new, previously non-converting audience.

Reasons to test Prediction Markets:

  • The threshold for the first conversion is lower than in betting;
  • Works great with SEO and content traffic (news, trends, cryptosphere, politics, entertainment);
  • High interest in the vertical during trending events;
  • Opportunity to monetize an audience that doesn’t bet on sports or casinos.;
  • It is possible to transfer users to the casino and vertical betting;
  • Provides a smooth user path within the product.

Moreover, the format is as native as possible — real events constantly create new reasons for returning players, forming stable retention and LTV. 

Thus, Prediction Markets is a great way to monetize an audience that has not made a profit before, and with N1 Partners you can do this as simply and efficiently as possible.

Wanna be the first to gain access to a fresh audience? Test Prediction Markets with N1 Partners now!

Scale your results with N1 Partners:

  • 14+ casino and betting brands with high Reg2Dep
  • 10+ Tier-1 GEOs
  • CPA up to €700 and RevShare up to 55% + NNCO for top affiliates

OLBG recognised in iGB Affiliate Awards for Dorking sponsorship

OLBG recognised in iGB Affiliate Awards for Dorking sponsorship

OLBG, Principal Partner of Dorking Wanderers FC since the start of the 2025/26 season, has received national recognition after their headline sponsorship campaign was shortlisted for Affiliate Campaign of the Year at the 2026 iGB Affiliate Awards.

The nomination celebrates the leading sports betting and casino community’s collaboration with the Surrey-based club. Their partnership has helped shine a wider spotlight on non-league football through fan-focused content, social engagement and community-led activations.

Alongside the Dorking Wanderers campaign nomination, OLBG has also been shortlisted for both Best Sports Betting Affiliate and Best Casino Affiliate, underlining the brand’s continued growth across the wider iGaming industry.

Since announcing the long-term partnership in 2025, OLBG and Dorking Wanderers have launched a range of initiatives designed to bring supporters closer to the club, including branded fan engagement campaigns and social activations that have generated significant traction online.

Founded in 1999, Dorking Wanderers have become one of the most recognisable names in English non-league football following their rapid rise through the pyramid under owner and manager Marc White. The club has built a substantial national following through viral social media clips and documentary-style football content.

The iGB Affiliate Awards are regarded as one of the leading award ceremonies in the global affiliate and online gambling sector, recognising standout campaigns, partnerships and businesses from across the industry.

This year’s winners will be announced at a ceremony on 2 July.

OLBG CEO Richard Moffatt said: “After winning two awards at last year’s iGB Affiliate Awards, it’s fantastic to see OLBG shortlisted again across three categories this year.

As OLBG continues to grow as a broader sports fan engagement brand, it’s been rewarding to see ideas and learnings from partnerships such as Harry Derham Racing continue to evolve across new collaborations.

It’s especially pleasing to see our work with Dorking Wanderers F.C. recognised in the Campaign of the Year category. We were honoured to win this award last year for our partnership with Harry Derham Racing and, much like that collaboration, our work with DWFC has centred around long term storytelling, helping our partners move closer to their ambitions while giving fans a deeper connection to the sport they love.

A huge thank you goes to everyone at Dorking Wanderers F.C., Bunch of Amateurs and the OLBG team whose energy, creativity and commitment have made the partnership such a success.”
