CG’s latest site addition breaks down language barriers for iGaming fans all over the world

CasinoGuru, a respected independent site providing information on online casinos and games, gives players one more reason to visit their site. It has recently launched its very own community forum but went above and beyond to add a few unique twists you will not find anywhere else.

CasinoGuru’s brand-new initiative aims to give all players a place to share their experiences and voice their opinions of the online gambling landscape, regardless of their background or nationality. The company wants to use this platform to facilitate communication between gambling enthusiasts from all over the world. CG also believes that this type of activity will help them build better and long-lasting relationships with their new and loyal community members alike.

The forum’s easy-to-navigate interface has been specifically designed to engage its users and encourage communication among players. Users can share their online gambling hot-takes and opinions with like-minded people. If they require help or advice, they can easily reach out to more experienced community members or even the CG team themselves.

But CG, already possessing a strong and passionate user base, decided to take their community-driven endeavour one step further. By implementing an advanced automatic translation functionality, they have brought the standard online forum concept to an entirely new level.

Each user is catered to individually, as the system automatically translates all forum content into either the user’s native language or their preferred language, which they can choose. This allows players to discuss any iGaming-related subject seamlessly, without needing to speak the same language.

Daniel Dolejsi, Social media and community manager at Casino.Guru said: “Our decision to pursue the idea of building a “borderless” online community embodies our core desire – to become the world’s number 1 online gambling information site.”

“Whilst many of our competitors run forums of their own, none of them offer the unique mechanics and features that we do. We are incredibly proud of being able to facilitate conversation between gaming enthusiasts from all over the world, free of any type of language barrier.”

Since the forum’s launch in March this year, CG has welcomed over 8000 new registered users, which have contributed nearly 1500 unique posts in total. Posts range in topic from general gambling discussions, online casino and game recommendations, to help requests. Supporting the discussions is the automatic translation system, which has been a big hit with the community – some comment threads harbour conversations lead between the speakers of 5 different languages.

“We continue to develop new updates and features for our forum. Our latest addition is a “like” button, which anyone can use to vote on a post. They do not even have to be registered. To support this feature, we are currently working on a ranking system, which will keep track of users’ reputation.”

“We also added the option to view the last 100 posts made on the forum in chronological order. Our forum’s last version would only show 10 posts in this way. Additionally, you can now view a user’s entire post history by clicking on their nickname, should you want to see what they have been up to in the past.”

“Last but not least, we do our best to engage with our community and give them reasons to come back. For example, we are currently hosting a competition, where users can win a PS4 with 6 games, simply by playing a game on our site for free.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
