SiGMA is Back and Bigger Than Ever
Reading Time: 2 minutes
TA’QALI, Malta, August 23, 2018 — 2018 has been good to SiGMA. From the launch of new ventures to a full complement of global road show events, SiGMA has never been busier.
SiGMA’s flagship show has gone from strength to strength, with last year’s summit opening its doors to over 8,000 visitors and featuring 200+ exhibitors – a record-breaking figure which saw 2016’s numbers doubled. The show offers a perfect balance of entertainment and business opportunity – providing the ideal climate for delegates in the iGaming sphere to network and debate industry trends.
SiGMA 2018 is all set to carry on this tradition of quality and, as Malta continues to position itself as a haven for industry, can expect to host more industry elites under its roof than ever.
The fifth edition of SiGMA will take place from 28th – 30th of November at the MFCC, Ta’ Qali. Positioned at the cutting edge of a very competitive industry, it has evolved into the definitive iGaming showcase. SiGMA 2018 will welcome over 400 sponsors and exhibitors, 200 industry-leading speakers and a record-breaking 12500 attendees – solidifying its reputation as a staple on the global iGaming calendar.
Tickets are still available for SiGMA’s flagship show, and for those looking to score a good deal, the Standard Pass is priced at just €80. Find more information on how you can register here.
Following the success of the previous two years, SiGMA Pitch will also be back, providing a space for innovative young start-ups to gain valuable exposure. Finalists will gain a unique opportunity to win a space on the expo floor, score valuable invites to networking events and reel in potential funding and mentoring from industry veterans.
In light of the islands’ thirst for talent, SiGMA has added a new platform to its growing repertoire – SiGMA Careers, one of the three main pillars holding up a revamped site. The recruitment tool aims to facilitate a solution to an increasing need in the industry to source quality talent. A substantial SIGMA Careers database offers recruiters a gold mine of opportunity, through which those in the iGaming sector can reach into the deep pool of untapped creativity waiting to be explored.
Bolstering this initiative will be a first-of-its-kind conference, the SiGMA Careers Convention, which will take place later this year. The convention will provide ample opportunity for networking and will feature an open talk in the form of a panel discussion.
SiGMA 2018 will also host a number of lavish global events throughout the year. From Hong Kong to Kiev, there really is no better place to enjoy making money.
Between the 11th and 12th of September, SiGMA will also take advantage of the buzzing LatAm gambling market, staging the Alpha Boot Camp in the cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires – bringing together 200 operators and 10 suppliers from across Europe for a first-edition conference.
A full calendar of iGatherings and conferences has bolstered our position as the go-to purveyors of quality events for those looking to cement their position in the iGaming sphere.

The event, held under the guidance of SmartSoft’s Regional Commercial Head, Beka Kipiani, unfolded in Tbilisi against a backdrop of Georgian tradition, art, and world-renowned hospitality. Far more than a business meeting, this immersive experience showcased the fusion of iGaming innovation and cultural celebration, reinforcing strong ties between Groove, SmartSoft and other participants.
From high-level strategy discussions to a glamorous Gala Dinner, Nathalie represented Groove with style, joining fellow iGaming leaders for an evening of fine cuisine, live music, and the unmistakable warmth of Georgian camaraderie.
The itinerary didn’t stop at the ballroom. A rich cultural programme took guests through historic landmarks, arts showcases, and curated experiences that brought Georgian heritage to life, echoing the fusion of legacy and future-forward thinking that defines both Groove and SmartSoft.
As part of her visit, Nathalie also took part in a focused meeting and dinner with Groove Georgia’s team, strengthening regional alignment and celebrating the local team’s fast-growing contributions to Groove’s global strategy.
SmartSoft’s innovative collection of arcade-style casino games and premium slots is redefining the casino experience by blending skill-based mechanics with immersive gameplay to create groundbreaking crash-style games and other non-traditional casino content. Among SmartSoft’s most popular titles is JetX, an adrenaline-fueled crash game where players bet on the soaring trajectory of a jet plane. With its thrilling risk-reward mechanics and social multiplayer appeal, JetX has captured the attention of gamers across the world.
Beka Kipiani, SmartSoft’s Regional Commercial Head, added: “Hosting Groove’s Nathalie and our many other industry friends in Georgia was both a pleasure and a privilege. We believe in the power of local pride and global ambition, Groove understands that language. This wasn’t just a company event; it was a celebration of partnership, trust, and shared growth.”
As Groove continues to expand its global network of premium gaming partners, experiences like these highlight the power of in-person collaboration in crafting tomorrow’s success stories. Groove’s 15,000+ game portfolio, powered by 150+ elite providers including SmarttSoft, already stands as one of the most comprehensive in iGaming.
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and COO of Groove Technologies, said: “Groove thrives on relationships; real, human partnerships that evolve beyond emails and dashboards. Events like this give our people, like Nathalie, the chance to connect deeply with partners like SmartSoft, to understand their market, and to share a bit of our Groove DNA while embracing theirs. Georgia delivered beauty, insight, and opportunity in equal measure.”

Ghana’s NLA Introduces New Sticker to Clamp Down on Illegal Lotto Operators
The fight against illegal lotto operations in Ghana continues unabated with a major push led by the Director-General and Management of the National Lottery Authority (NLA).
On August 26, the Authority organised a press conference at Brennan Hall to re-emphasise the ongoing registration exercise for Lotto Writers under registered Private Lotto Operators, a process initially launched on September 18, 2024, under the previous leadership.
As part of the initiative, unique identification stickers are being introduced for all Writers and Agents of Private Lotto Operators (PLOs). This measure is expected to reduce illegal activities in the industry and significantly boost the Authority’s revenue.
Addressing the press, the Director-General, Mr. Mohammed Abdul-Salam, noted the growing difficulty distinguishing legitimate writers from illegal ones. He explained that the introduction of the new sticker system would firmly establish the Authority’s regulatory role. Supported by the Operations and Compliance teams, this initiative will be enforced from September 1, 2025, to clamp down on unlicensed operators.
The Executive Secretary of the Concerned Lotto Agents and Writers Association (CLAAG), Mr. Kwaku Duah, welcomed the development, stressing that it was time for Registered Operators to benefit from the fees they had paid. He further cautioned that any Agent or Writer who fails to comply with the new regulations would not receive their support when caught by the law.
The sticker will display the Agent or Writer’s name, location, phone number and payment details, among other information. A QR code generated upon payment will allow the compliance team to easily verify duly licensed operators during their visits.
Mr. Andrew Tuah, Head of Operations, added that the registration fee of GHC 250 for Lotto Writers was to be renewed annually. In addition to the sticker’s robust security features, which cannot be duplicated, he announced a nationwide sensitisation exercise for the Lotto Writers to familiarise themselves with this app.
The press conference was also attended by the Deputy Director-General, Mr. Eric Yeboah Wadie, the Public Relations Officer of CLAAG, Mr. David Agbeviadeh, members of the Executive Management, Management and Staff of the Authority.
