The most innovative minds in the iGaming industry will come together for the 6th Annual Cyprus Gaming Show in just one month, from June 11–13, 2025, at the opulent Crowne Plaza Limassol in Cyprus. Attending the event gives you access to the most up-to-date knowledge, upscale networking opportunities, and cutting-edge innovations that will advance the sector.
Cyprus remains a strong iGaming jurisdiction of expansion at the intersection of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Supported by a robust digital ecosystem and encouraging regulations, CGS 2025 is the ideal venue for connecting with industry leaders, strategists, and innovators.
Important Takeaways from Andreas Constantinou Ahead of the Cyprus Gaming Show
Before attending the Cyprus Gaming Show 2025, we spoke with Andreas Constantinou, CEO of Pokerload, who gave us his outlook on the future of gaming, which he believes will be reimagined through the convergence of omnichannel strategies, digitalization, and player experience.
In his keynote, Andreas gave an overview of the topics that would be covered, such as the differences between the online and offline player experience, the importance of an omnichannel strategy in increasing engagement and revenue, the growing necessity of digital transformation in land-based operations, and the drive for genuine innovation in online gaming.
When asked why the omni-channel approach is more crucial than ever for gaming operators, he explained: “Ignoring the omni-channel approach in the digital era and globalisation that we live in, is like approaching your customers from your friends and family circle only. Omni-channels create opportunities to enhance the customer experience, engagement and accessibility to your services, thus increasing the customer satisfaction and consequently the company’s revenues.”
One trend in omni-channel player engagement that Andreas finds particularly exciting is the ability for players to enter online micro-stakes and qualify for major land-based events with large guarantees. “This means that literally anybody could make it to the top,” he explains.
He also pointed out some common missteps operators make when blending online and offline experiences. Offline operators often overlook the unique value of their physical spaces – the energy created through in-person interaction, lighting, music, and personalised service. “Investing in these elements is like investing for their future proof and it should be their primary aim of investment, while placing their online presence should come as a secondary priority,” he says. The rush to go digital during COVID-19 led many to deprioritise this in-person value.
According to Andreas, the Cyprus Gaming Show is unique because it brings together important regional players and business executives, fostering excellent networking and expansion prospects.
