Casino Guru unveils redesigned homepage: A bold step forward in online gambling resources
Casino Guru, the leading independent authority on online gambling and the biggest online casinos database, has launched a major redesign of its homepage, marking a new era in its mission to provide users with unparalleled insights and resources in the online gambling world.
The previous homepage no longer reflected the full scope of Casino Guru’s activities. The redesigned homepage aims to showcase the platform’s extensive efforts to go beyond being just another casino website. “We wanted to demonstrate that we are serious about our mission, tackling issues often overlooked by competitors, with a level of dedication that ensures something new is happening on our site every day,” the team behind the redesign explains.
Key features of the new homepage
Dynamic content integration:
The homepage features an autoscroll carousel, a dynamic element that presents Casino Guru’s unique data interactively. Visitors can explore real-time updates on the platform’s constantly growing database of casinos, bonuses, games, forum posts, and complaints.
Box/Grid Layout for modular design:
Inspired by the “bento box” concept, the new design organizes content into clean, visually comprehensible blocks. This modular approach enhances user navigation while offering flexibility in presenting a wide range of information.
User-centric design: The homepage integrates a streamlined introduction, intuitive navigation, and content that offers more than static information. Each section provides users with valuable insights while emphasizing the platform’s commitment to innovation.
Modern visuals and branding:
A significant update to Casino Guru’s visual identity includes a shift from animated graphics to a sophisticated blend of 3D elements and neon accents. This aesthetic transformation elevates the platform’s appeal and reflects its modern approach to the online gambling industry.
Forum and complaints sections: A dedicated space introduces users to the Casino Guru forum and the complaints resolution center, supported by a team of over 20 specialists. This section reveals fascinating data and highlights the platform’s user-focused approach.
Casino Guru News: The homepage concludes with curated selections from Casino Guru News, ensuring users stay informed about the latest developments in the industry.
Overcoming design challenges
Developing a homepage that effectively conveys the platform’s multifaceted nature presented significant challenges. “One of the biggest hurdles was creating a design that works across all 18 language variants of the website,” says the team. “What can be expressed with a single short word in English may take several words in languages like German or Finnish. Achieving this without compromising usability or design was no small feat.”
This redesign is only the beginning. Casino Guru is already working on Phase Two, which will introduce new sections to the site. These will include expanded user reviews, enhancements to the complaints resolution section, and an entirely new segment dedicated to responsible gambling.
“The new homepage is not just a redesign; it’s a promise to our users that we’re continuously evolving to provide them with the best experience possible,” the team concludes.

Interview Mistakes That Could Cost You the Job
According to Valeriia Virchenko, some candidates unknowingly make interview mistakes that leave a lasting negative impression.

✅ Research the company – Learn about its operations, values, and hiring team to establish rapport during the interview.
✅ Showcase your work – A portfolio, work samples, and references from past employers add credibility.
✅ Understand company pain points – Ask questions about the challenges the company faces and suggest potential solutions based on your experience.
✅ Adaptability & efficiency – iGaming is a fast-paced industry; candidates who demonstrate quick thinking and problem-solving skills stand out.
“We have seen highly positive cases where candidates shared their experience or proposed interesting solutions to company challenges right during the interview,” Virchenko explains.
What PIN-UP Global Looks for in Candidates
At PIN-UP Global, finding the right fit means more than assessing technical skills. Virchenko emphasizes that the company seeks candidates who align with its core values:
🔹 Industry expertise & results-driven mindset – Specialists who excel in their field and focus on delivering measurable impact.

🔹 Agility & decision-making skills – The ability to adapt quickly, multitask, and navigate an ever-evolving environment.

ADG Urges Responsible and Legal Betting Ahead of Super Bowl LIX
On Sunday, February 9, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, with kick-off at 6:30 p.m. ET. As one of the most anticipated and wagered-on sporting events of the year, the Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) is reminding Arizona residents and visitors to bet responsibly and within the bounds of the law.
“The Super Bowl is an exciting event that brings communities together, but it’s essential to approach event wagering with caution and accountability,” said Jackie Johnson, ADG Director. “We encourage all Arizonans to enjoy the game responsibly by ensuring their wagers are placed legally and thoughtfully.” Further emphasizing the importance of using licensed operators for all event wagering activities, “illegal gambling undermines public safety and the integrity of the game, while responsible betting practices help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants,” stated ADG Director, Jackie Johnson.
Sports Pools – Know What Rules to Follow
In the United States, it is common to see friends and family participate in sports pools for the Super Bowl, often known as “Super Bowl Squares”. These pools are legal as long as the state’s social gambling rules are followed. According to Arizona Law (A.R.S. § 13-3301(7)), social gambling requires:
- That gambling cannot be conducted as business, which means that hosts cannot receive
financial benefit, unless they are participating in the game; - Hosts pay out all pool money to the winner(s);
- Only participants can win; and
- Players compete on equal terms with each other.
A few things to be on the lookout for that indicate illegal gambling:
- Paying a fee to participate, including “suggested” or “voluntary” donations.
- A host who keeps a percentage of the pool for administering the game.
- A required minimum purchase to participate (food or beverage, etc.).
- Unequal odds.
- Underage participants (under 21 years of age).
Responsible Betting – What to Keep in Mind
With sports betting legal in the state, it has become increasingly important to educate yourself on how you can bet responsibly. Listed below are some helpful tips as part of the American Gaming Association’s (“AGA”) Have A Game Plan.® Bet Responsibly. campaign:
- Set a Budget – It is crucial to keep in mind that everyone will have different budgets; never
bet beyond your own means. Be cautious and make sure you set a limit – and stick to it – if
you plan on wagering. More information on how to responsibly set a budget for wagering
can be found on the AGA’s Have A Game Plan website: How Much Should I Wager? - Know the Odds – There are plenty of key terms everyone should know when making a sports
bet. What’s a parlay? Over/under? Moneyline? If you decide to wager, make sure you are
briefed on The Basics of Sports Betting. - Keep it Social – Whenever gambling, be mindful that all forms of gambling are for the
purpose of entertainment. This is not a way to make money. By gaming with friends, family,
and colleagues, you can keep playing responsibly and have fun. - Keep Your Cool – No one’s perfect, and in sports, winning and losing are all part of the game.
Whether you’re wagering from the sidelines or watching from home, remember to keep
your cool. Good sportsmanship isn’t just for the players on the field; it’s for everyone. - Play Legally – Legal operators provide important player protections that are not found in
the illegal market. Whether you are placing a wager on your phone or at a physical
sportsbook, make sure you are using a legal operator in the state. Visit the ADG website to
view a full list of the state’s approved operators and retail locations: Approved Operators.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, you can get help now by calling 1-800- NEXT-STEP (1.800.639.8783), the Division of Problem Gaming (“DPG”)’s confidential helpline, texting “NEXTSTEP” to 53342, or utilizing a chat feature on the DPG website. DPG’s helpline provides confidentiality and connects callers with a master’s level counselor who can connect them with available resources, including statewide treatment providers who specialize in problem gambling. The helpline is available 24/7 to everyone facing a problem with gambling, whether that be individuals and affected family members, friends, or co-workers.
