IGT Named “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” by the 2024 Disability Equality Index
International Game Technology announced that it earned a top score in the 2024 Disability Equality Index and was named a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the second consecutive year in the US and the first time in the UK. In 2024, IGT received a score of 100 and was one of 542 corporations that utilised the Disability Equality Index to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts.
Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 scope companies to measure disability workplace inclusion inside their organisation and to assess performance across industry sectors. In assessing IGT, the Disability Equality Index measured culture and leadership; enterprise-wide access; employment practices including benefits, recruitment, employment, education, retention, advancement and accommodations; community engagement; supplier diversity; and responsible procurement (non-weighted).
“Earning the ‘Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion’ distinction by the Disability Equality Index reflects IGT’s commitment to creating a fair and inclusive culture where our global employees feel welcomed and can succeed in their careers. IGT strives to advance its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for all employees, and values important benchmarking programs such as the Disability Equality Index that help us track progress, celebrate achievements and identify growth opportunities,” said Dorothy Costa, IGT Senior Vice President, People & Transformation.
“On the 10th anniversary of the Disability Equality Index, we’re extremely proud of the 542 national and international companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to follow. Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today’s global market. Together, we are creating a future where everyone can contribute and thrive,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN.
Since IGT’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was established in 2018, the Company has implemented a range of programmes, policy and systems changes and leading practices that have promoted all dimensions of diversity to make it a more attractive and inclusive employer for people with disabilities. These actions include:
- Implementing more inclusive and equitable hiring processes.
- Offering benefits to accommodate visible and invisible disabilities.
- Committing to work with and provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
- Establishing and supporting SuperAbilities at IGT, an employee-led and executive-sponsored employee impact group.
- Facilitating mandatory and elective employee training courses that help support IGT’s diversity, equity, inclusion, sustainability and anti-harassment commitments.

Casino Guru shortlisted in 2 categories for EGR Operator Awards
EGR has revealed the shortlists for the EGR Operator Awards nominating Casino Guru in two categories, “Affiliate of the Year” and “Casino Affiliate.”
Being shortlisted for these prestigious awards highlights Casino Guru’s unwavering effort to build one of the world’s most comprehensive and complete database of casino websites.
The honor of competing against some of the industry’s biggest companies demonstrates Casino Guru’s unfaltering commitment to upholding the best standards as an affiliate company, which focuses on data-driven, fact-checked, and human reviews, as part of a growing database, running in the thousands.
Another integral part of the Casino Guru operations is the website’s commitment to Responsible Gambling and raising safer gambling practices in the industry through the company’s dedicated Gamtegrity platform. Gamtegrity is a multi-faceted effort that naturally underpins Casino Guru’s efforts in providing players and professionals with a better understanding of the pitfalls commonly associated with gambling.
Casino Guru Head of Content Maros Gasparik said: “We are committed to raising the standards in terms of our own website and the value we bring to our visitors, but also in terms of the online gambling industry as a whole – making it better and safer for players. I believe the two nominations reflect these values, and we are always happy to see our efforts being acknowledged by reputable organizations such as EGR.”
The value proposition that Casino Guru builds does not stop with simply reviewing a casino. The process involves a comprehensive behind-the-scenes work where dedicated data teams revisit and review casinos in the library to ensure that the website brings the most up-to-date information that players will ever need to find out about a brand, accounting for local regulation, safer gambling practices, terms and conditions.
The team fastidiously examines each casino’s offer to ensure that it presents consumers with an easy and clear understanding of the value each brand stands to bring. This process is then repeated throughout the year to ensure that the allocated value under the Safety Index, Casino Guru’s advanced rating system, is always accurate.
Casino Guru has repeatedly upheld its core principles of equity, fairness, and transparency, helping players not just read reviews but also mediate issues with casinos. The Casino Guru’s Complaint Resolution Center has already achieved unprecedented success early in 2024, returning $4,905,200 up to July.
