Casino Guru has started public voting for two community-centered awards at the 4th annual Casino Guru Awards 2026, namely Players Choice and Voice of the People.
Earlier this year, the platform revealed shortlists after receiving a large amount of strong nominations from the entire iGaming industry. These nominees point out the main achievements in transparency innovation leadership, social responsibility, and player protection. Most awards are determined by an expert panel, but Players Choice and voice of the people are voted entirely by the public.
This allows the community to have a direct influence on the results at least in theory. The process includes outreach to make sure everyone gets fair access. Now, the voting system is available to all registered users who fulfill the participation requirements.
Players’ Choice: Best Game Provider
The Players’ Choice category honors the most loved game providers by players. It considers player favorites through reputation, quality of the product and the entire gaming experience. Public vote only makes the decisions of the winners.
Shortlisted candidates for Players’ Choice 2026 include:
- Pragmatic Play

- Relax Gaming
- BGaming
- Endorphina
- Evoplay
- Mancala Gaming
- Betsoft

- Big Time Gaming

Voice of the People: A Broader Community Perspective
Voice of the People is a feature through which the general public can vote for their favorite candidates from the shortlist in all award categories. It is a channel to allow the society to decide which companies or individuals in their opinion are worthy of the spotlight even if the category in which they have been nominated is quite different.
Public voting has already started and it is not only confined to players and industry professionals, but also extends to the general public who have a desire to support their favorites. This way of voting ensures that the public view is reflected in a true and transparent manner without the participation of the judging panel.
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.
Awards Ceremony
The winners of the 2026 Casino Guru Awards will be revealed at an exclusive live ceremony on May 25, 2026, at The Xara Lodge in Malta. The event will celebrate industry excellence, recognizing achievements in transparency, fairness, social responsibility, innovation, and player-focused initiatives.
Casino Guru earnestly urges everyone to participate in the public voting process. The official Casino Guru Awards website is now accepting votes, which allows the community to have a say in the outcome of these highly sought-after categories.
