Betsson Group has managed to secure four award nominations for the 8th edition of the Global Regulatory Awards. Held annually since 2017, the awards hosted by Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, recognise the achievements of individuals, teams, and organisations in the gaming industry that have excelled in compliance, corporate social responsibility, and safer gaming.

According to the official website of the Global Regulatory Awards, Vixio received a record number of submissions this year, making 2024 their most competitive year by far.

The 2024 Global Regulatory Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on 4th December 2024.

Betsson Group is shortlisted for three company awards and one individual award.

1. Commitment to Compliance by an Operator

This award celebrates a leading compliance initiative by a gambling operator that has significantly improved internal expertise and set a new standard for industry best practices. The judges will look for an initiative that demonstrates transformative improvements in processes, technology, reporting, and training, while also promoting best practices across the sector.

2. Chief Compliance Officer of the Year – Corinne Valletta

This award celebrates an exceptional compliance leader who consistently exceeds expectations, expertly navigates regulatory challenges, and has significantly elevated the compliance standards within their organisation through pragmatic solutions, operational transformation, and thought leadership. The award seeks a leader who actively collaborates with management, their team, and regulatory bodies to foster a culture of compliance. Judges will look for concrete examples of the nominee’s impact, including industry conference appearances, introduced training initiatives, and demonstrations of thought leadership.

3. Compliance Team of the Year

This award honours a compliance team within an organisation that actively fosters a culture of compliance, responding effectively to regulatory changes and driving their organization to lead in new compliance standards. Judges will evaluate how the team has cultivated a compliance-focused culture, collaborated across the organisation, initiated training, and influenced business practices and industry engagement, including with trade associations. Special consideration will be given to teams that have led their organisation into new compliance jurisdictions in emerging markets.

4. Legal Team of the Year

This award recogises a legal team that protects the company’s reputation by ensuring compliance with regulations, demonstrating exceptional problem-solving, analytical, and organisational skills, and proactively advising management. Judges will assess how the team promotes best practices, keeps the business ahead of regulatory changes, and minimises the impact on both the bottom line and daily operations.

In conclusion, the above nominations highlight Betsson’s strong compliance culture and commitment to raising its standards in compliance to ensure a safe and stable business.

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.
