Casino Guru teams up with Ethical Gambling Forum to promote player protection

Casino Guru has partnered with the Ethical Gambling Forum (EGF) to advance ethics, transparency, and player protection in the iGaming industry.

The collaboration will bring the Casino Guru Awards directly into the EGF conference, connecting industry stakeholders committed to raising standards and promoting responsible gambling.

During the conference week, on April 30 and May 1, Casino Guru will host an exclusive judges’ session, where the Awards jury will actively evaluate shortlisted nominees. This process includes direct calls with candidates, offering in-depth insight into their operations, values, and commitment to responsible gambling. The hands-on approach ensures the Awards remain rigorous, transparent, and merit-based.

Casino Guru will also lead a panel discussion with judges and industry experts on independent evaluation, ethical standards, and the role of initiatives like the Casino Guru Awards in creating a safer gambling environment.

“We share the same core values: ethics, transparency, responsible gambling, and player protection,” said Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Projects Director at Casino Guru. “We are not only increasing transparency but also creating meaningful dialogue between judges and nominees.”

“The ability for our judges to engage directly with shortlisted candidates adds an extra layer of integrity and depth to the evaluation process, which is something that truly sets the Casino Guru Awards apart,” she added.

Jo Abergel, Co-Founder of the Ethical Gambling Forum, remarked: “Partnering with Casino Guru for the Leeds event is an important step in amplifying the message that being held up to scrutiny must sit at the heart of our industry’s future.

"Bringing our organisations together creates the space for honest dialogue and meaningful progress, and we are delighted to collaborate with an organisation equally committed to raising the bar for player protection and industry integrity.”

The company said the partnership underscores a shared mission between Casino Guru and EGF: promoting high industry standards, supporting operators prioritizing player well-being, and celebrating organizations that lead by example.
