ProgressPlay showcasing latest innovation in Cyprus
ProgressPlay are taking to Cyprus the new innovative technology and tools that the company first introduced earlier this year in London and Amsterdam, to present it at SiGMA Balkans & CIS show during the first week of September.
ProgressPlay’s commitment to innovation, cutting-edge products and casino-centric solutions aligns seamlessly with SiGMA’s values, with the show and awards taking place in Cyprus for the first time where it looks set to attract record numbers of participants aided by the sunny Mediterranean holiday island destination and a pulsating programme of events and speakers.
ProgressPlay, now in their second decade serving the global igaming B2B market, has been doing the rounds of international shows to ensure that operators are aware of their advances in platform capability and service, which have been significantly enhanced by multiple waves of investment.
Central to this increased market exposure is ProgressPlay’s new platform technology which offers a comprehensive gaming management solution across multiple channels and products, giving the company an important revitalised cutting-edge in their quest to deliver long-term value to a deepening operator cluster. ProgressPlay’s new platform manages player accounts, payments, bonuses, loyalty programs, fraud prevention and games, using robust analytics.
ProgressPlay Sales Manager Marina Nahhas said: “We had some really interesting meetings in London and Amsterdam as we expanded our outreach to the global igaming community. As we take our new technology from show-to-show we are delighted with the enthusiasm from operators and casino brands, who have been seeking solutions that can deliver more in this very competitive environment.”
On the proprietary side, and recently introduced to the international online gambling market, ProgressPlay’s innovative Responsible Gambling software covers topics like KYC, player activity, affordability levels, and a transparent audit trail. This breakthrough data-driven software was recognised in the first half of the year with a shortlisting in the EGR’s inaugural Safer Gambling Award, a significant achievement for a new product.
The company has rethought its Responsible Gambling strategy, developing an AI-driven flow for player engagement that recognises players in real-time and rates them according to various standards. This feature has proven highly attractive to the regulated market which is coming under increased pressure from regulators in Europe and beyond.
Over 150 online casino brands have partnered with ProgressPlay covering a unique combination of casino games and sports-betting. ProgressPlay’s sportsbook offers up to 40,000 live betting markets and services across 20 languages while the new platform offers a slick AI-driven UI/UX, and extensive value-added services alongside thousands of casino games, including slots, online casino, live casino, poker, table games, and sportsbook, across all devices and currencies.
ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “Marina and I look forward to mixing with our growing casino cluster, other industry leaders, nurturing meaningful new connections, and getting immersed in all the insightful discussions a big show like this generates. Of course, we will be there showcasing our cutting-edge products within an event that looks to set new standards and drive the igaming sector forward.”
