May was a busy month here at AskGamblers, especially with our exclusive awards drawing near to the final stage. We also released the second installment of our podcast which we hope you didn’t miss but if you did, here’s another chance to listen to it.
In fact, it's time to take a look at some of the biggest highlights throughout May, so sit back and let it all soak in.

Top AskGamblers News
The AskGamblers Voting Stage Has Started
It’s one of the biggest events of the year so far and now that the finalists’ names are in, it’s time to vote! Like every year, it is now down to you to have the final say. We announced all of the finalists that made it through the nomination process in categories that include Best New Casino and Best New Slot. Now you can vote for who you want to win but choose your winners smartly as you can only cast one vote per category.
A Month of Big Wins
Another big payout was set with Microgaming’s Mega Moolah paying out a massive €19.4 million. We already knew that this game made dreams come true but now a player in Belgium is a multi-millionaire thanks to an eight-figure sum they won playing the Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah Slot, setting a record for the largest ever jackpot paid out by the game!
Speaking about luck, we also reported about a Pokerstars Casino player who turned a €0.80 stake into an €8.1 million fortune! Playing Blueprint's Deal or No Deal, the player invested in a bet worth just €0.80 which resulted in triggering the game's iconic progressive jackpot, taking home €8,133,445.23.
And then, just to top it all off, in swooped another: a lucky AskGamblers punter netted 290K at SlotWolf Casino. We received the news that a player who had found the casino through our site had landed the dream win, and for us, it just doesn’t get any better than that!
Hottest News from the Industry
As the industry was slowly turning to live events again, we talked to Eman Pulis who revealed details about SiGMA’s Affiliate Grand Slam. We discussed the event, why they picked Dubai, and how challenging it was to merge two large expos under one roof, among other things.
With AskGamblers Awards heating up, we were excited to announce that AffiliateINSIDER will give AMPP and media packages to all winners of our prestigious awards. This now means the affiliate managers of the winning teams will win a 12-week long virtual live training program that is designed for affiliate marketers. The program will help them learn new digital trends through professional coaching.
Lastly, we learned that the betting and gaming industry would unite for safer gambling week 2021 in a bid to get everyone talking about the importance of responsible gaming. The event will take place in November of this year and will see a variety of safer gambling messages displayed in land-based casinos as well as online operators in an effort to raise awareness of the issue.
AGCCS Stats
Our AGCCS team never stops working and May was no exception! The team helped players to recover $539,257 through a total of 1066 complaints submitted by 882 users, affecting 343 casinos. Out of these, 239 complaints were processed and 170 complaints were resolved.
