Some organizations and events give out awards to casinos that do well each year in a certain category. For example, askgamblers has their own awards, casinomeister has their own and there are some others.
If you're looking for a new casino to try, do you ever notice if it got any awards and would that even matter to you?
to some extent yeah it does matter. it adds up to their reputation and having an award tells you in a small way that, that casino good track. and no I mostly do not notice if a gambling site has an award but it does appeal to me in some way if the gambling site I am trying out has one.
