Casino Guru Introduces User Review Functionality
Casino Guru prides itself on being one of the biggest sources of information about online casinos for quite some time now, with their broad database of gambling sites and objective, data-focused expert reviews. However, with the recent addition of user reviews, they will be able to bring even more value to their visitors.
Casino Guru intruded new functionality, which allows visitors to review and rate any online casino. Users can share their experience, whether good or bad, with other members of the community, who can, in turn, use this information to make the right choice when selecting a site to play at.
Matej Novota, Casino Guru’s Data & Complaints Department Lead, considers user reviews a great addition to the site’s features: “My team and I collect as much relevant information as possible about each online casino we review, such as their complaints, revenues, features, customer support quality, etc. This helps us give casinos a fair rating and recommend the most suitable ones to players. Letting our visitors share their experience adds another layer of information that will be helpful for anyone trying to select a casino to play at.”
User reviews combine two of the main pillars of the Casino Guru website – casino reviews and community. Community is the fastest growing part of the website, with Casino Guru having reported over 34,000 registered users within the first year of the existence of their multilingual forum.
Matej adds that experience of actual users is hard to emulate in a traditional review process: “We do our best to find out everything players should know about a casino, but there are thousands of casinos on the internet, and we simply cannot test each of them in a way that would emulate the experience of a diverse group of players. That’s why I think that user reviews will be beneficial not only to our visitors, but to our team as well.”
Users can give a casino a rating from zero to five stars, which contributes to its overall user rating. If they want, they can also add a written review and describe the casino’s positive and negative qualities. If a user adds a written review, it is first reviewed by the Casino Guru team to make sure it meets the site’s community guidelines, and only then made public. Ratings without a written review are published immediately.
To the team’s surprise, most users add a written review to their ratings, as Matej describes: “The number of new daily reviews is quite low, as it’s a new functionality and our visitors are not familiar with it yet. However, what surprised is that more than 80% of user ratings are accompanied by a written review of the casino’s qualities. We expected most users to skip this option, as it’s far easier to just choose the number of stars and submit a rating. Perhaps users who leave ratings really want to share their experience in detail.”
In line with Casino Guru’s forum and other multilingual features, users can write their reviews in any language, and the site’s automatic translation functionality will localize it for other visitors according to their language preferences.
User reviews are yet another addition in Casino Guru’s quest to provide as much value to visitors as possible and make online gambling better. Their other recent endeavors include Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and Casino Guru Academy, which are aimed at improving the online gambling ecosystem and reducing gambling-related harm. On top of this, the company continues working on other improvements and getting closer to being the best website about online casinos.

Independent evaluation highlights impact of Ygam’s parent programme

An independent evaluation has provided compelling evidence that Ygam’s work is effectively equipping families with the tools and knowledge to safeguard children from gaming and gambling harms.
The evaluation report, conducted by Sherbert Research, examined Ygam’s programme tailored for parents and carers, which includes online workshops, resources, and the Family Hub website.
The evaluation, assessed against Ygam’s comprehensive Theory of Change, found ‘strong evidence across all groups’ of increased understanding of gaming and gambling harms and their impact on behaviour change and the wellbeing of children and young people. It also highlighted that parents regard Ygam as a trusted source of support and information on these subjects.
After attending a Ygam workshop, parents expressed a deeper understanding of their role in supporting children and young people on these issues. The workshops were credited with reducing stigma around gaming and gambling harms and encouraging greater engagement from families. Many parents reported proactively understanding the risks and feeling empowered to start conversations with their children about gaming and gambling, putting boundaries in place before harm occurs.
While parents and professionals are increasingly aware of the risks associated with gaming, fewer recognise children’s potential exposure to gambling and gambling-like features, along with the related harms. The report reinforces that Ygam’s work plays a vital role in closing this critical knowledge gap through awareness raising, offering effective safeguarding tools, and providing the guidance and support required to create a safer digital home environment.
The programme was also commended for shifting perceptions around video gaming and microtransactions. They described taking immediate proactive steps such as adjusting screen time, understanding app spending, and setting clearer rules around their child’s online habits.
One parent who took part in the evaluation said: “After the session, I checked my son’s gaming account and realised he had spent over £200 on in-game purchases. We talked about it, and I’ve now set up parental controls.”
The high quality and standard of Ygam’s educational content was also praised by parents, with many describing it as ‘one of the best’ workshops they had attended for addressing a topical and complex issue, and for delivering accessible knowledge that supports real-life action.
Another parent said: ” A friend mentioned Ygam after I shared concerns about my son’s gaming habits. She had been on the course and said it had really helped her understand how to manage screen time”.
Claire Patel, Programme Lead for the Parents and Carers programme at Ygam, said: “We welcome the findings of this evaluation, which highlight the widespread and meaningful difference our programme is making for families. Parents and carers know their children better than anyone, and they have a crucial role to play – but they consistently tell us they often feel under-informed in today’s fast-moving digital world. We remain committed to listening to families and providing the information and tools they need to promote healthy habits and safeguard their children from potential harms.”
The evaluation was informed by interviews and video diaries from parents, foster carers, and professionals who attended Ygam workshops between 2023 and 2024.
All recommendations for improvement will be incorporated into the ongoing review and development of Ygam’s programmes to ensure they remain as effective and impactful as possible.
