Key Insights from Andreas Constantinou Ahead of the Cyprus Gaming Show
Before heading to the Cyprus Gaming Show 2025, we interviewed Andreas Constantinou, CEO of Pokerload, who shared his vision for gaming’s future in which omnichannel approaches, digitalisation, and player experience converge to reshape the industry landscape.
Andreas gave an idea of what’s to come in his keynote, including how player experience differs online and offline, why an omnichannel strategy is key to increasing demand for digital transformation for land-based operations, and the move towards 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 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.
As for what sets Cyprus Gaming Show apart, Andreas believes it’s the way the event brings together key regional stakeholders and industry leaders, creating strong opportunities for networking and business growth.
