Casino Guru Awards 2026 opens public voting for 2 categories
Casino Guru has opened public voting for two of the most community-focused categories at the 4th annual Casino Guru Awards 2026: Players’ Choice and Voice of the People.
Earlier this year, the company announced the full shortlist after receiving a record number of strong applications, with all nominees demonstrating standout transparency, innovation, leadership, social responsibility, and player protection efforts.
While winners of other categories are decided by a panel of judges, these two are fully in the hands of the public, giving players a direct say in who wins.
The Players’ Choice category focuses on the most popular game providers, recognizing those that deliver strong products, a good reputation, and an overall great player experience, with the final decision made entirely by players.

Having included all shortlisted nominees across every category, the Voice of the People category brings in an even wider community perspective, allowing the public vote for the company or individual they believe deserves recognition the most, regardless the category.
Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Project Director at Casino Guru, said:
“We believe that the community should have a direct say in recognizing excellence within the industry. By opening both Players’ Choice and Voice of the People to public voting, we are giving players and the wider community the opportunity to influence the outcome and highlight those who truly stand out.”
The winners of the Casino Guru Awards 2026 will be announced at an exclusive live ceremony on May 25, 2026, at The Xara Lodge in Malta. The event will celebrate the best in the industry, honoring achievements in transparency, fairness, innovation, social responsibility, and player-focused practices.
Public voting is now open on the official Casino Guru Awards website, and everyone is encouraged to take part in the voting to play their part in deciding the winners of the community-driven categories.
