Casino Guru has officially opened public voting for two of the most community-driven categories in the Casino Guru Awards 2026—Players’ Choice and Voice of the People.
Earlier this year, the company revealed shortlists across all award categories following a record number of high-quality submissions from across the iGaming industry. These nominees represent standout performers in areas such as transparency, innovation, social responsibility, leadership, and player protection.
While most winners will be selected by an expert judging panel, these two categories are entirely decided by public vote, giving players and the wider community a direct voice in determining the outcome.
The Players’ Choice category recognises the most popular game providers, based on reputation, product quality, and overall player experience, with the final result determined exclusively by players.
Shortlisted candidates for Players’ Choice – Best Game Provider (2026):
Pragmatic Play, Popiplay, TaDa Gaming, Relax Gaming, BGaming, Endorphina, Evoplay, Mancala Gaming, Betsoft, EGT, Nolimit City, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil, Push Gaming, Habanero, 18Peaches, Big Time Gaming, Red Tiger, NetEnt, and Wicked Games.
Alongside this, the Voice of the People category broadens the scope by including all shortlisted nominees across every category, allowing voters to support the company or individual they believe deserves recognition the most—regardless of category.
Public voting is now open to players, industry professionals, and the wider community, ensuring a transparent reflection of public sentiment independent of the judging panel.
Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Project Director at Casino Guru, said:
“We believe the community should have a direct role in recognising excellence across the industry. By opening both Players’ Choice and Voice of the People to public voting, we’re giving players and stakeholders the opportunity to influence the results and spotlight those who truly stand out.”
The winners of the Casino Guru Awards 2026 will be announced during a live ceremony on May 25, 2026, at The Xara Lodge, celebrating achievements across transparency, fairness, innovation, and player-focused initiatives.
Casino Guru is encouraging everyone to take part in the voting process and help decide the winners of these community-led categories via the official Awards website.
