(AsiaGameHub) – Casino Guru is pleased to announce that public voting has commenced for two of its most community-focused award categories in the 4th annual Casino Guru Awards 2026: Players’ Choice and Voice of the People.
This year, after receiving an unprecedented volume of high-quality submissions from the global iGaming sector, Casino Guru formally announced the shortlists for all award categories. The nominees on these lists exemplify top performance in domains like transparency, social responsibility, innovation, leadership, and player protection.
An independent panel of experts will choose the victors for most categories. However, the Players’ Choice and Voice of the People awards are distinctive because the winners are chosen solely by public vote, empowering the community to directly influence the results.
The Players’ Choice award spotlights the game providers that are most favored by players, considering factors like industry standing, product excellence, and the overall gaming experience. Players have the final say in determining the winner.

Similarly, the Voice of the People category incorporates a wider community viewpoint into the awards. This category encompasses every shortlisted candidate from all award categories, enabling the public to vote for whichever company or individual they feel is most deserving, irrespective of their specific category.
The public vote is currently active, calling on players, industry experts, and the broader community to back their favored nominees. This method guarantees a clear and genuine representation of public opinion, separate from the formal judging.
“We are of the opinion that the community deserves a direct voice in acknowledging industry excellence,” stated Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Project Director at Casino Guru. “Opening the Players’ Choice and Voice of the People categories to public voting allows players and the community at large to shape the outcome and celebrate those who genuinely excel.”
The recipients of the Casino Guru Awards 2026 will be announced at a special live event on May 25, 2026, at The Xara Lodge in Malta. The ceremony will honor outstanding accomplishments throughout the industry in transparency, fairness, social responsibility, innovation, and player-focused initiatives.
