The Casino Guru Awards 2025 concluded in spectacular fashion last night, as nearly 150 distinguished guests gathered at the stunning Portomaso Suite, Hilton Hotel, celebrating the game-changers who are working to create a safer, more equitable future for online gambling.
Laughter bounced off the sparkling walls, and every applause felt personal as guests cheered on the stars of the field. The evening was not simply a party; it carried real intent. Daniela Sliva, Casino Gurus PR and Creative Projects lead, opened the night with:
“The Casino Guru Awards are more than just trophies and titles. They’re a celebration of the people and companies who are truly moving the industry forward. The ones who choose to be responsible, innovative, and proactive in how they do business.”
Hosted by Martin Sepiano, the evening honored the winners in 10 categories, all evaluated through a radically transparent and values-driven process. And the winners are:
-
- iGaming Changemaker of the Year: Ebbe Groes, CEO, EveryMatrix
- Most Effective Handling of Complaints: Vulkan Vegas
- Most Transparent Casino: OnlyWin Casino
- Most Impactful Social Responsibility Initiative: Mindway AI
- Fairest General Terms & Conditions: OnlyWin Casino

- Best Implementation of RG Tools (Operators): L&L Europe
- Best Implementation of RG Tools (Providers): Mindway AI
- Voice of the People – Public Vote: iWild Casino
- Players’ Choice Casino – Public Vote: Pragmatic Play
After the trophies were handed out, the party moved to the chic Tiffany Lounge, where attendees sipped cocktails, swapped stories, and grooved to DJ Luke Panza’s set well past midnight.
The awards are trusted because judges openly declare any conflicts, interview each finalist face-to-face, and work from plain scoring rubrics. This year’s poll drew more than 150,000 votes in the Voice of the People section, once again proving the program puts the community at the centre.
This night isn’t only about prizes; it’s a springboard for real, long-lasting change, Sliva remarked. Watching this room fill with leaders who value integrity and fairness fills me with hope for the future.
With a strong field of nominees, the Casino Guru Awards 2025 Gala showed once more that ethical innovation in iGaming is moving from wish list to everyday practice.
