(AsiaGameHub) – Casino Guru has launched the public voting phase for two community-focused awards at the upcoming 4th annual Casino Guru Awards 2026: the Players’ Choice and Voice of the People awards.
The platform had previously announced shortlists for the awards earlier this year, following an extensive nomination period that attracted many strong entries from across the iGaming sector. The nominated companies and individuals represent leading accomplishments in areas such as transparency, innovation, leadership, social responsibility, and player protection. While an independent panel of experts decides the majority of the award winners, the results for the Players’ Choice and Voice of the People categories are determined solely by public vote.
This structure is designed to give the community a direct role in shaping the outcomes. The voting process incorporates outreach efforts to promote equitable access. Voting is now open to all registered users who meet the specified criteria for participation.
Players’ Choice: Best Game Provider
The Players’ Choice award is dedicated to celebrating the game providers that are most popular among players. The selection criteria are based on player preferences, considering factors like company reputation, product quality, and the overall gaming experience. The winners in this category are decided exclusively by public vote.
Shortlisted candidates for Players’ Choice 2026 include:

Voice of the People: A Broader Community Perspective
The Voice of the People award provides a channel for the public to vote for their preferred shortlisted candidates across all award categories. It enables the community to spotlight the companies or individuals they believe are most deserving of recognition, regardless of the specific category for which they were nominated.
The public vote is now underway and is open not just to players and industry experts, but to any member of the public who wishes to support their favorites. This approach guarantees that the public’s perspective is captured authentically and transparently, without any input from the official judging panel.
Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Project Director at Casino Guru, said:
We believe that the community should have a direct say in recognizing excellence within the industry. By opening both Players’ Choice and Voice of the People to public voting, we are giving players and the wider community the opportunity to influence the outcome and highlight those who truly stand out.
Awards Ceremony
The winners of the 2026 Casino Guru Awards will be announced during an exclusive live ceremony scheduled for May 25, 2026, at The Xara Lodge in Malta. The event will honor excellence in the industry, celebrating achievements in transparency, fairness, social responsibility, innovation, and player-centric initiatives.
Casino Guru strongly encourages everyone to take part in the public voting. Votes are now being accepted on the official Casino Guru Awards website, providing the community with a voice in deciding the winners of these prestigious categories.
