Cafrino’s Time at NEXT.io

Cafrino Gaming had the amazing opportunity to participate in this years NEXT.io Summit in New York City where we listened to experts in the iGaming industry and collaborate with other iGaming professionals. While the topic of Sweepstakes Casinos is controversial amongst the iGaming industry, Cafrino is proud to be a top game provider in the world of Sweepstakes. While in New York city we were given the opportunity to network and learn of new technologies, the advancement of AI in iGaming, and how to better set ourselves apart from our competitors.

Day 1 at NEXT.io – Social Casino Summit 2025

Day 1 was filled with panelists from all different sectors of the Social Casino industry sharing knowledge from every angle. We got to hear from some of the best in the industry about the predictions of the Sweepstakes Casino industry, the evolving legalities of Sweepstakes, and how Sweepstakes Casinos games are more than just slots. With Real-Money Gaming (RMG) dominating the iGaming industry, the big question is: how does Sweepstakes play a role in the iGaming market? The easy answer: people just like to play games, but if you had to dive deeper, the complexity surrounding player motivation in the Social Casino climate versus RMG is the stress free risk that Social Casinos provide.

It’s obvious that there is no way to predict exactly what will happen in the Social Casino market, but it’s not secret that the regulations are cracking down. What does that mean for companies like us? To put it bluntly, nothing. Cafrino Gaming as an iGaming developer has been aware of the Sweepstakes regulation concerns for years and believes that, although upsetting at times, this is not an end-all-be-all but a learning curve for every moving part of the Sweepstakes industry.

Days 2-3 at NEXT.io – All Things iGaming

While it was obvious that the topic of Sweepstakes amongst a majority of the iGaming industry is taboo, it’s clear that RMG cannot ignore the tremendous growth of Social Casinos. We got to hear from iGaming industry leaders such as BetMGM, Caesers, DraftKings, and dozens more on all their best practices. We learned about trends in iGaming and what technologies are advancing. It is safe to say that AI was a huge talking point and how to best integrate AI on every platform.
