Casino Guru Awards announce first Official Sponsors for 2026 edition

RedCore, Bragg, PayOp, and SPRIBE join as early supporters of industry integrity and innovation

Casino Guru is proud to unveil the first confirmed sponsors of the upcoming Casino Guru Awards 2026, welcoming RedCore, Bragg, PayOp, and SPRIBE as key partners in elevating transparency, responsibility, and meaningful innovation in the global iGaming industry.

The Casino Guru Awards, known for their independent evaluation, ethics-driven criteria, and emphasis on player protection, return for another year to highlight companies that truly move the industry forward. The 2026 ceremony will once again celebrate those who demonstrate excellence not only in product quality, but also in values that contribute to a healthier and more sustainable iGaming ecosystem.

"Market development is one of our core values. As a business group that sets trends rather than follows them, we see great value in supporting initiatives like this. Such projects drive the industry forward, helping it grow and discover new, driven solutions," said the team of RedCore.

Aleksandar Dašić, Head of Affiliate Marketing at Bragg, shared why the company is stepping in to support the Awards: "We chose to support the Casino Guru Awards because they’ve become one of the most respected platforms for recognizing excellence and integrity in the iGaming industry. Casino Guru has consistently championed transparency, responsible play, and innovation, values that strongly resonate with us at Bragg." He added:

"Supporting these Awards aligns perfectly with our mission of contributing to a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem. Celebrating fairness, responsible gaming, and player-first thinking reflects the future we want to help shape."

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, commented:

"The Casino Guru Awards have quickly become one of the most respected platforms recognising real impact in our industry, not just popularity. What inspired us most was the focus on fairness, transparency, and player-first thinking - values we genuinely share at SPRIBE. Supporting an initiative that celebrates meaningful innovation and responsible practices felt like a natural step for us."

He continued:

„SPRIBE has always aimed to push the industry forward through innovation, quality, and a strong commitment to players. The Casino Guru Awards reflect these same principles. By becoming a sponsor, we’re supporting an independent voice that encourages higher standards across the entire ecosystem. What excites us most is the authenticity of the Awards. They highlight companies and products that genuinely move the needle - not just those with the biggest budgets. Being part of this initiative means joining a community that cares about progress, transparency, and player trust. We’re looking forward to seeing the innovations and ideas that will shape the next chapter of our industry, and we’re proud to support a platform that brings them into the spotlight."

Daniela Sliva, PR & Creative Projects Director at Casino Guru, commented on the first wave of sponsors: "We’re honoured to welcome RedCore, Bragg, PayOp, and SPRIBE as our first confirmed sponsors for the 2026 edition. Their support reflects a shared commitment to fairness, innovation, and responsible practices, values that are foundational to everything the Casino Guru Awards represent." She added:

"Each of these partners brings a unique perspective on how to move the industry forward. Their involvement helps strengthen an independent initiative that celebrates achievements that truly matter for players, operators, and the long-term health of the entire ecosystem."

The Casino Guru Awards are a global initiative recognizing outstanding contributions to fairness, responsibility, transparency, and innovation in online gambling. With rigorous evaluation processes, including data-driven assessments, expert panels, and ethical criteria, the Casino Guru Awards aim to elevate industry standards and highlight the companies that demonstrate real impact.

The 2026 ceremony will take place in early next year, on May 25 in Malta, during the NEXT Valetta, bringing together innovators, operators, and leaders dedicated to shaping a more trustworthy iGaming future.
