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?
At least to me it doesn't matter at all, for a long time I have had problems with review sites because as we know many of them accept bribes in order to give better reviews and the moment they do that there is no point to their reviews anymore, and those awards are very similar, you are relying on a centralized party to tell you that the casino is good and I'm not going to rely on the words of someone else, I prefer to do my due research and find out by myself.
