Casino Guru Honored with Fourth Consecutive Safer Gambling Initiative Award

For an unprecedented fourth consecutive year, Casino Guru has been recognized with the Safer Gambling Initiative award at the iGB Affiliate Awards 2026. This esteemed accolade was presented during iGB Live, held on July 1-2, underscoring the company's sustained dedication to advancing player protection within the iGaming sector.

The award specifically highlights Casino Guru’s continuous efforts to foster a more secure gambling environment.

Driving Safer Gambling Initiatives

Among the significant projects contributing to this latest recognition is the publication of the Online Self-exclusion Recommended Code of Practice.
