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?
Depend in which award giving body will come from because if those are the legit one like Askgambler then i might consider this as mattering though i have a strict taste in each gambling site i stay playing and depositing .
I will check the site for their freebies but won't deposit until i am contented with my trials and the community feedbacks.
