Arthouros Ioannidis Marks a Milestone at ProgressPlay and reveals that a new bingo launch is on the horizon this September
ProgressPlay, a leading name in the iGaming industry, proudly celebrates a significant milestone as Arthouros Ioannidis, Head of Account Managers, marks his seventh anniversary with the company. Remarkably, Arthouros has held seven different roles within ProgressPlay, reflecting his dedication, versatility, and significant contributions to the company’s success.
As a premier platform provider, ProgressPlay offers comprehensive turnkey, white-label, and standalone solutions for online gambling operators. With a robust portfolio of games and a commitment to innovation, ProgressPlay empowers operators to deliver exceptional gambling experiences. Arthouros joined ProgressPlay with a vision and dedication that have been instrumental in shaping the high-performance Account Management Team we see today.
With nearly six years of extensive experience in various roles within the company before his latest promotion last January, Arthouros brought a wealth of knowledge and a passion for excellence that have consistently driven the team to new heights. Over the past seven years, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic acumen, propelling ProgressPlay’s client relationships and operational efficiencies to the forefront. His deep understanding of client needs and market dynamics has been pivotal in fostering a culture of innovation and customer-centricity within the team, alongside Head of Sales and Marketing Marina Nahhas.
“Arthouros has been a cornerstone of our success,” said Nahhas. “His unwavering commitment, strategic insights, and ability to inspire those around him have not only strengthened our client relationships but have also significantly contributed to our growth and reputation in the industry.”
As the Head of Account Managers, Arthouros has been instrumental in developing and implementing strategies that enhance client satisfaction and drive business growth. His leadership has ensured that ProgressPlay remains agile and responsive in an ever-evolving industry landscape.
Reflecting on his journey, Arthouros stated, “It’s been an incredible seven years at ProgressPlay. The support and collaborative spirit within the company have been outstanding. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and excited about the future possibilities as we continue to innovate and lead in the iGaming sector.”
ProgressPlay’s comprehensive sportsbook and turnkey solutions include a casino platform, player management, payments module, and affiliate software, designed to boost operators seeking to effectively drive both revenue and efficiency with the latest cutting-edge technology. These solutions ensure that operators can offer a seamless and engaging experience to their customers, enhancing loyalty and driving growth.
Over 150 online casino and sportsbook brands have partnered with ProgressPlay, benefiting from a unique combination of casino games and sports betting. ProgressPlay’s sportsbook offers over 30,000 live betting markets and services across 20 languages, providing a broad and inclusive platform for operators. The latest platform features 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, accessible across all devices and currencies.
Itai Lowenstein, ProgressPlay CEO, remarked: “Arthouros’ anniversary is particularly significant as it coincides with a period of tremendous growth and exploration for our company. We’re charting new horizons and expanding our operations into exciting markets. Most importantly, these seven years symbolise the relentless hard work and dedication of the entire ProgressPlay team, driving us to thrive in this competitive landscape.”
The Account Management department, currently composed of five persons and expanding further, is a testament to Arthouros’ leadership. Each Account Manager handles around 30 key relationships, ensuring personalised and effective client management. Marina Nahhas, Arthouros’ mentor, adds, “Arthouros is the kind of manager we want, he leads from the front.”
A key focus of client conversations is CRM, as operators look for differentiation in the marketplace and lobby optimisation. Arthouros notes, “ProgressPlay is aligned closely to the market and also ahead of the curve.” He adds; “Every day we have an opportunity to work with some amazing people,” emphasising the company’s collaborative spirit and innovative drive.
Despite occasional differences in viewpoints within the team, Arthouros views this positively, considering it “another voice in the room, an alternative view.” Although ProgressPlay is very UK-centric in terms of standards and compliance with UKGC, the company has been active in other jurisdictions and has plans for further internationalisation with their new standalone product that allows operators to market in any jurisdiction.
Exciting developments are on the horizon for ProgressPlay, including the launch of a new bingo product in September he reveals. Arthouros concludes, “There’s a big future for the industry and for ProgressPlay within it.”
