Celebrating Denis Kosinsky: NuxGame’s Voice in the Future of iGaming

We’re proud to share that our very own Chief Operating Officer, Denis Kosinsky, has been included in HIPTHER’s Top 50 Speakers of 2025.

For NuxGame, this recognition is more than a logo on a slide or a line in a bio. It reflects years of consistent work in building future-ready iGaming platforms and Denis’s growing role as one of the voices shaping conversations around AI, alternative models, retention, and scalable growth in our industry.

In recent months, he has appeared in interviews, panels and features across the iGaming media landscape, sharing a clear, practical view of where online gaming is heading – and what operators really need from their technology partners.

Who is Denis Kosinsky?

As COO at NuxGame, Denis leads the company’s strategic growth and product innovation, working at the intersection of:

• Platform architecture and operations
• Turnkey and sportsbook solutions
• Crypto gaming infrastructure
• Advanced aggregation systems and modular tools

He is deeply involved in how the NuxGame platform evolves – from how it scales under heavy load to how it supports new markets, content and business models. 

Inside NuxGame, he is one of the key people making sure our platform remains scalable, modular and operator-centric – and the same philosophy shows up in almost every public conversation he has.

2025 focus: AI with responsibility

One of the strongest themes in Denis’s recent interviews is artificial intelligence – and specifically how it should be used in iGaming.

He often talks about AI-driven personalization and how NuxGame helps operators build dynamic player journeys in real time: systems that analyse behaviour across games, sessions and markets to surface relevant content, smarter promotions and more meaningful loyalty flows.

But Denis is very clear about the limits. AI, in his view, should always support player safety and compliance, not undermine them. Personalization only makes sense if it builds long-term, sustainable relationships with players – not just short-term spikes in activity.

Behind this quote is a very practical mindset:

• On the player side, AI powers tailored lobbies, campaigns and journeys that feel relevant instead of random.
• On the operator side, AI reduces manual work in areas like segmentation, campaigns, support and retention, so teams can focus on strategy rather than routine tasks.

For Denis, AI is not a buzzword – it’s a set of tools that, used responsibly, helps both NuxGame and its partners do more, faster, without sacrificing safety or compliance.

AI inside NuxGame: from admin panels to productivity

Denis also speaks openly about how NuxGame uses AI inside the platform itself.

In recent discussions, he has highlighted:

• AI-assisted configuration of the administrative platform, making it faster and easier for operators to set up and adjust their environments
• Plans for an AI assistant to help teams navigate and use the back office more effectively
• AI support in creating and adapting marketing assets and game visuals
• Productivity gains where tasks that once required large teams can now be handled by leaner, AI-assisted operations

The result is a platform that not only powers AI-driven experiences for players, but also uses AI to streamline the operator’s daily work.

Alternative models and the US sweepstakes market

As major content suppliers have adjusted their approach and regulators across key states have increased pressure on the model, the environment has become more complex and demanding. 

In his latest interview on this topic, Denis framed what’s happening in a way that many operators can relate to:

Rather than seeing this as the end of sweepstakes, he sees it as a shift toward clarity and legitimacy. Trade groups are engaging with lawmakers, and serious operators are pushing for clear rules instead of grey areas – a direction NuxGame actively supports.

NuxGame released a complete sweepstakes solution earlier this year that was designed as a stand-alone tech stack as opposed to a fast add-on. Building on dual-balance architecture, adaptable prize stores, social features, and responsible tools, it provides operators with a means of being both competitive and compliant in a more challenging market.

This perspective positions NuxGame not just as a platform provider, but as a long-term partner for companies that want to succeed as the sweepstakes vertical matures and regulation tightens.

What operators should demand from their platform providers

When Denis is on stage or in interviews, he often speaks from a very practical angle: What should an operator expect from a platform provider in 2025?

Over the past months, he has outlined a clear checklist:

• Scalability and stability – the platform must cope with growth in players, content and markets without breaking.
• Open architecture – APIs, integrations and data access should make it easy to extend the platform, not lock operators in.
• Real-time visibility – operators need live data on performance, retention and risk, not delayed or opaque reports.
• Compliance-ready foundations – from KYC and AML to responsible gaming tools, the platform must support operating in multiple regulated markets.
• Modularity – operators should be able to add or swap components (payments, bonus engines, front ends and more) without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Denis consistently frames the NuxGame roadmap around these expectations. For him, innovation is not about adding more complexity – it’s about removing friction and helping operators move faster, with more confidence.

Future-ready iGaming and the HIPTHER stage

Ahead of HIPTHER’s European Gaming Congress 2025, Denis spoke about what it means to build future-ready iGaming brands.

He outlined three goals that now influence a large portion of his public speaking:

• Personalization at scale – treating every player as an individual while delivering a reliable experience to thousands or millions of users.
• Scalable growth architecture – platforms that support rapid market expansion, new content and regulatory changes without constant replatforming.
• Alignment of innovation and regulation – using AI, blockchain and advanced analytics in ways that regulators can understand, audit and trust.
• At the Congress, Denis joined the panel “Leveraging AI for Competitive Advantage”, bringing NuxGame perspective on how advanced technologies can be integrated into everyday operator workflows.

His inclusion in HIPTHER’s Top 50 Speakers of 2025 is a natural extension of this work, recognising his ability to make complex topics like AI, sweepstakes and platform architecture concrete, accessible and useful for the wider industry.

Why this recognition matters to NuxGame

For Denis, being named among the Top 50 Speakers of 2025 is a meaningful personal milestone.

For us, it is also:

• A sign that our product and innovation agenda is aligned with the questions that matter most in iGaming today
• Validation that our approach to AI, sweepstakes, and platform scalability is resonating far beyond our own roadmap
• Motivation to keep investing in thought leadership, education, and open dialogue with operators, regulators, and partners

We think that when people contribute actual data and experiences rather than just catchphrases, the industry advances. Denis reflects these values in his interviews and appearances in the second half of 2025: he is straightforward, honest, and results-oriented.

Looking ahead

As we move into 2026, you can expect to see more of his and the NuxGame team on stages and in the media – discussing:

• How to use AI to create safer, smarter player experiences
• What retention-first growth really looks like in practice
• How platforms can stay ready for the next wave of regulation and market change

We’re honored to have our COO recognised as one of the Top 50 Speakers of 2025, and we’re excited about what comes next – for Denis, for NuxGame and for the operators building the future of iGaming together with us.
