With the iGaming market being as congested as it is, all facets of an operator’s internal systems must be in perfect condition from the outset in the fight for market share. This includes content management systems (CMS), as when these are set up correctly, they can offer the tools to customise front-end designs, ensuring a brand experience that is both unique and engaging for users. When an effective CMS is in operation, this will bring the flexibility of design and allow the operator to put custom branding into action.
This is an area where iGP can provide expertise and create value for brands. Our CMS is designed to empower our clients to manage their online casinos with ease. The CMS provides a user-friendly interface, allowing operators to manage their content, promotions, and bonuses in real-time. Our solution is scalable and customisable, ensuring it meets the unique needs of each client.
Let’s take a further look into how a CMS can be fine-tuned to an optimal level and how iGP’s experience can be of assistance.
What is a casino CMS?
A content management system is internal software which allows users to create, manage and modify content on a website. Within the world of online casinos specifically, these systems will include features for accounting, bonusing, player performance tracking, jackpot solutions, reporting, security, surveillance, table management and more. With the ability to maximise customisation in these areas, operators can differentiate their brand and make their identity clear to players.
The systems can be used to personalise gaming experiences, as user interfaces can be customised in a way that can suit each and every individual player. They can also provide simplicity, as website updates can be made by members of the team without necessarily needing extensive coding knowledge.
Design customisation
When it comes to design customisation, there are several ways that operators can tweak their CMS to ensure it is framed in the way that will produce the best possible results. These include:
- Drag-and-drop interface: Simplified page-building tools will allow for users to create visually stunning layouts, even if they are not the most technically minded.
- Template flexibility: Pre-built templates can be tailored to match a specific brand aesthetic; this includes things like colours, fonts and images which can be customised.
- Mobile-responsive design: Considering the mobile-first nature of the modern player, the custom front-end can be designed flawlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
- Customisation through coding: For more advanced users, they will have the ability to edit CSS and HTML for deeper personalisation.
Enhancing brand identity
There will also be features within the CMS that give the user the opportunity to enhance their brand’s identity with the front-end design. Operators can create a unique user interface that will reflect the casino’s bespoke brand voice.
Custom landing pages can be set up for different player segments. An example of this would be sending players that show a preference for sports betting to land within the operator’s sportsbook, or more specifically on a promotion the operator is running for an upcoming sports event. If they show a tendency to play casino games, then they could be directed to a specific casino promo the operator may be running at that time. This can significantly enhance user engagement.
At iGP, we have given our partners the tools to boost customer retention by providing front-end designs that fit in with what each individual partner is aiming to achieve. We will work with the partner to fully understand what they would like to create and then put forward a design as part of a two-way collaboration, making sure we adhere to the partner’s brand values and identity in the process.
Seamless integration
All operators face the challenge of integrating games from a number of different providers to make sure they have a rounded games portfolio on offer. With CMS tools in place, these integrations can be seamless, making a unique and cohesive experience that will not compromise design.
The benefits of using a CMS also extend to affiliate operations, as affiliate programs can be integrated, along with customer relationship management tools that can track user behaviour. When the data that comes from that user behaviour is processed, the front-end design can be tailored for specific demographics.
A pre-built CMS will lead to the acceleration of design iterations and the quick launch of new features. The CMS can encompass turnkey and white-label solutions that will assist branded casinos in launching in a short space of time. This is where iGP can provide a helping hand. With our white-label casino solution, operators can launch a fully operational, feature-rich online casino within the shortest time possible, saving them time, effort, and money.
Future trends
Looking towards the future, there are three main trends that we believe will be key components of online casino CMS customisation going forward.
First, anyone who has been around the iGaming industry in recent times, or any tech industry for that matter, will likely be aware of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it is likely to reshape online industries in the coming years. AI is increasingly being integrated into CMS systems to help automatically generate design recommendations based on user behaviour.
Second, customisation is constantly evolving, and the speed at which operators have to react to player trends is increasing. Operators will need to adapt to real-time customisation, where they can instantly tweak front-end elements based on player feedback.
Third, iGaming platforms are evolving to offer cryptocurrency support with visually integrated elements to attract crypto enthusiasts. At iGP, we recently launched our crypto casino solution, and this is something we expect to see having increased influence on the industry in the coming years.
