Head of Sustainable & Safer Gambling

Šimon is Casino Guru's Head of Sustainable & Safer Gambling. He focuses on making gambling safer and more sustainable for players, while encouraging operators to take greater responsibility for player protection. Šimon leads Casino Guru's Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and Casino Guru Academy.

As part of this work for the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, Šimon collaborated with a workgroup led by Margaret Carran on the Online Self-Exclusion Recommended Code of Practice, which sets out standards for how online self-exclusion should work.

Šimon also oversees Casino Guru Academy, a free educational platform that turns industry knowledge into practical courses. More than 6,500 people have registered with the Academy, and it has issued over 3,500 certificates so far.

His work also goes beyond Casino Guru. Šimon is a board member of the International Problem Gambling and Gaming Certification Organization (IPGGC) and regularly attends major industry events on safer gambling, including ICE, SBC, and SiGMA.

“The ultimate goal of sustainable gambling is to build an environment where players are better protected and aware of the risks from the start, while operators are able to make a profit from entertainment activity and create a safety net for players.”

Šimon is known to be an avid gamer who also enjoys music festivals and catching up with friends. Above all, however, he loves spending time with his wife and two kids.
