Scatters Club Streaming Awards Got Their Stream-Watching Champion!

The grand streamer gala of Scatters Club Streaming Awards 2025 may still be weeks away, but we just couldn’t wait to share the big news! Mauro Craia from Argentina has officially clinched the dream job: champion stream-watcher. And honestly? We couldn’t have asked for a better fit.
Why Mauro? Because this guy lives and breathes slot streams. For over seven years, he’s been moderating top-tier channels like AndyPSX and Shelao, juggling two streams at once during the Scatters Race LATAM, and creating highlight clips faster than most of us can hit “screenshot.” Mauro summed it up best:
“There are things in which I stand out, and watching slot streams is one of them. My life revolves around slots and streams. Max win, free spins, RTP, volatility – these words are in my daily vocabulary.”
He’s not just a fan; he’s following Scatters Club Streaming Awards for two years and is a walking encyclopedia of slot streaming knowledge, fueled by passion and an unshakable popcorn supply. Mauro, welcome to the team! You’ve raised the bar, and we’re beyond excited to see you redefine marathon stream-watching.
One dream job, 42 amazing candidates
Mauro’s victory wasn’t a walk in the park – he outshone 42 other incredible applicants, all of whom submitted their entries during a brief application window. If we could’ve hired them all, we absolutely would have. But hey, a dream job only has one spot.
What made these candidates so impressive? Their essays were a wild mix of passion, humor, and creativity. From heartwarming stories to laugh-out-loud moments, they showed us just how incredible this community is. Don’t take our word for it – here are some standout highlights.
Ogechukwu Mary Eluemunoh : The Atlantic Dreamer
Ogechukwu’s love for streaming is deep and unwavering, a connection that goes beyond simply watching. Her 18-hour streaming record alone speaks volumes, but what truly stood out was her creativity – hosting Game of Thrones-themed watch parties with medieval snacks is just one example.
“Streaming isn’t just a pastime for me — it’s a craft I’ve turned into a passion-driven skill.”
Ogechukwu, your heart, enthusiasm, and imagination are a gift to this community.
Mohammed Noor: The Dreamer with a Cause
For Mohammed, streams have been a window to the world of gaming, and his essay was a heartfelt reminder of how dreams keep us moving forward. Relying on his brother’s gaming console, he found a way to immerse himself in the community.
“This job can help me with a dream gaming setup. It’s not a sob story, but rather a need to keep moving forward.”
Mohammed, your determination to turn challenges into opportunities touched our hearts. You remind us that every dream matters, and we’re cheering for yours to come true.
Jeanpiere Leandro Curi Carhua : The Ultimate Fan and Dreamer of Perfect Momens
Jeanpiere’s passion for streaming goes beyond dedication—it’s pure devotion. With over 400 clips submitted to our awards in a single month, countless hours spent editing, he’s proven himself to be a true fan of Scatters Club.
“Even in my free time, I love editing clips for TikTok and other platforms.”
His love for the community runs so deep that he was ready to take on this dream job for free, just to stay connected to what he loves most. Jeanpiere, your commitment to capturing and sharing unforgettable moments is inspiring, and your energy reminds us why this community is so special.
So what’s next?
For two years now, Scatters Club Streaming Awards have been all about connecting the most passionate stream fans across the globe. And wow, did we get some incredible applications this year!
While the very first lucky dreamer of this year’s awards, Mauro, dives into his dream job, the rest of the action is heating up. This year, we’ve received over 3, 700 submissions for the main awards, and our team is knee-deep in applications and more snacks than we care to admit. And here’s the plan: by January 27th, we’ll reveal the long list of standout nominees. From January 29th to February 11th, our team will refine that into a carefully curated shortlist of the top contenders. And for sure, there’s your time to shine — community voting, which gives you the power to help decide who takes home the ultimate honors.
And then comes the big event – the grand finale on February 27th. Whether you’re cheering for your favorite streamers, laughing at the most hilarious clips, or celebrating alongside the community, it’s going to be a night to remember. And here’s something to look forward to: some of the participants who wrote those heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable essays may join the gala as special guests. Their incredible stories and passion deserve to be celebrated, and we’re thrilled at the thought of them sharing their creativity and energy with everyone watching. It’s going to make the night even more special and full of surprises.
So grab your popcorn, mark your calendars, and get ready – because this gala isn’t just legendary, it’s stream-worthy. We’ll see you there!

Casino Guru enriches its portfolio with a dedicated sweepstakes casino database and updated safety index
Casino Guru, the global authority on online casino transparency and player safety, is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of a dedicated sweepstakes casino overview tailored to the rapidly evolving U.S. market.
Following months of in-depth research and development, the company has unveiled a new initiative focused on social sweepstakes casinos — a unique and increasingly popular segment of the online gaming space. As part of this expansion, Casino Guru has adapted its trusted Safety Index to reflect the specific characteristics of sweepstakes casino models.
“We’ve been hearing about sweepstakes casinos for quite some time, from social media buzz to community discussions and expert panels,” said Jozef Krucay, Branch Operations Lead at Casino Guru. “It became clear this wasn’t just a passing trend, but a notable shift in how people engage with online entertainment.”
Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstakes casinos use virtual currencies such as Gold Coins, Sweeps Cash, or Vegas Gems. Players can enjoy games for free or use purchasable coins to enhance their experience. With some luck, they may receive a special sweepstakes currency, which can be redeemed for real-world prizes — presenting both exciting opportunities and important considerations for player protection.
Casino Guru’s newly launched content includes:
- Listings for 11 published sweepstakes casinos, with over 60 more identified and currently in development
- An adapted Safety Index that reflects the distinct risks and rules of sweepstakes platforms
- Educational materials and player resources, including complaint-handling tools
- Planned detailed reviews to provide deeper insights into each platform
“Our goal is to help players navigate this growing space with the same clarity and confidence we’ve brought to traditional online casinos,” Jozef added. “As always, our focus remains on transparency, safety, and informed decision-making.”
This new direction positions Casino Guru at the forefront of player advocacy in emerging casino formats — with a clear path toward future expansion in the broader world of social and sweepstakes gaming.
