6 reasons Rome will shine as SiGMA Central Europe’s host city
Reading Time: 6 minutes
SiGMA Central Europe will head to Rome for the first time in November. Powered by REDCORE, the event, taking place at the state-of-the-art expo venue Fiera Roma, is expected to welcome over 1,000 sponsors and exhibitors from the gaming and tech sectors for a summit that seamlessly blends business and pleasure. With 30,000 delegates estimated to attend through 03 – 06 November, we anticipate our inaugural Rome event will become one of the largest global gaming gatherings to date. Here’s 6 reasons why the Eternal City promises to be the ideal host.
- Connected and central
Centrally located in Europe, Rome offers an easy gateway to the event, thanks to its two international airports – the Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport – providing excellent connectivity for participants worldwide. Rome also boasts a highly efficient public transportation system, with three metro lines and an extensive network of buses, trains and trams that reach even the city’s outermost areas, making it convenient for delegates from important neighbouring jurisdictions to easily travel to the event. Many of these transit options deliver you right to the Fiera Roma’s doorstep.
Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (FCO)
- Location: Fiumicino, about 32 km (20 miles) southwest of Rome city center
- Main use: Rome’s primary international airport and the busiest in Italy
- Airlines: Major hub for ITA Airways; serves most international and long-haul flights
Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (CIA)
- Location: Ciampino, about 15 km (9 miles) southeast of Rome
- Main use: Serves mainly low-cost carriers and charter flights
- Airlines: Ryanair and other budget airlines frequently use this airport
Á focus on short-haul flights and proximity to Rome’s business districts make it an efficient option for European travellers on tight schedules.
- Huge market size and untapped potential
Italy has emerged as an ideal destination for SiGMA Central Europe, driven by its immense potential as Europe’s largest untapped online gambling market. With a total gambling market revenue of €16 billion – the second-highest in Europe – only 25% stems from online platforms, leaving €12 billion in offline revenue largely untapped. The online sector, projected to reach €2.89 billion in 2024, is growing at an annual rate of 5.52%, set to hit €3.78 billion by 2029 (Statista). As player preferences shift online, and with Italy’s status as a global financial hub, the country presents unparalleled opportunities for operators seeking expansion.
- Heritage with a contemporary vision
Standing at the forefront of government and culture, nowhere combines tradition with modernity quite as well as Rome. A feast for history lovers, historical landmarks line its streets, from the lofty heights of the iconic domed Pantheon to the winding streets home to Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. The Galleria Borghese, home to silky, sinewy curves of Bernini, Titian, and Raphaelite muses should be a must stop for art lovers. The Capitoline Museums – one of the oldest public museums in the world – hosts a divine collection of Caravaggio works, while the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna takes you forward in time to Italian artists from the 19th and 20th century. Michelangelo fans should also plan to visit the Sistine Chapel – well worth the neck ache in the morning.
For those seeking something out of the ordinary, the Capuchin Crypt, located beneath the Santa Maria della Convezione dei Cappuccino on Via Veneto, carefully holds the artfully arranged remains of over 3,700 Capuchin monks. Meanwhile the ancients hold court at the Palatine Hill and Roman forum, the Ara Pacis Museum and the Domus Aurea – otherwise known as Nero’s palace. For more contemporary souls, art districts such as Trastevere, San Lorenzo, and Pigneto, have an impressive selection from the modern art world, with street art, galleries, and workshops delivering a bohemian vibe.
For those with an eye for beauty – the Aventine keyhole at the Knights of Malta gate offers a perfectly framed glimpse of St Peter’s Dome – totally free and delightfully strange. Alternatively, the Quartiere Coppede, delivers fairy tale meets film noir – a unique twist that blends the Gothic, Medieval, and Art Nouveau architecture.
Literary lovers should head to the poetic gardens near the Pyramid of Cestius, an Egyptian-style monument that shelters the final resting place of Keats and Shelley.
Meanwhile, on the 5th November 2025, the iconic Auditorium della Conciliazione will host an exclusive private concert by the legendary Plácido Domingo. His appearance in Rome for SiGMA Central Europe promises a night not easily forgotten.
- Rome: La Dolce Vita
In a city where to be industrious is a way of life you might wonder if the wheel ever stops turning. The answer is yes, and it starts with an aperitif in Rome’s many nightlife districts.
From speakeasies hidden away behind secret doors to cocktail barges floating down the Tiber, there´s something for everyone attending SiGMA Central Europe. For casual nights out there are plenty of craft breweries, pubs and live music, and for a more upscale crowd, wine bars dot the streets.
In addition to a series of high level dinners, SiGMA will also host two prestigious gala award ceremonies, bringing an illustrious line up from the B2B and B2C gaming and tech sectors together for an evening that recognises companies and individuals leading the charge for change. Hall of Game also seeks to recognise the contribution of distinguished individuals, with an accolade that honours roles that have been instrumental in the foundation of a sustainable and transparent industry.Italy is renowned for its deeply rooted culinary traditions, where distinct regional cuisines have helped put the country on the map for food lovers.
Bold, simple, and deeply traditional – unapologetically flavourful dishes, such as Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe, often come to mind (and for good reason), but Rome offers more than meets the eye when it comes to its food scene.
Gilded pastry shops and rustic trattorias spilling out onto the cobbled Roman streets segue into the upscale dining rooms of Michelin-starred restaurants, providing plenty of options for SiGMA Central Europe´s evening calendar of networking events.
Crown jewels in its gastronomic landscape, Michelin-Starred restaurants deliver indulgent forays into a unique dining experience.

Honesty in iGaming: Myth or the New Standard?
Reading Time: 5 minutes
In an industry where promises boom but delivery busts, “honesty” has too often morphed from a working principle into a marketing prop. Payouts drag. Support ghosts you. Stats raise eyebrows. KPIs are inflated and out of touch with reality.
For a webmaster, that means instability and zero control. Your revenue hinges less on your craft and more on someone else’s inconsistency.
And yet those weak spots create a clear demand: firm terms, transparent analytics, on-schedule payouts. Managers who actually help unblock issues instead of pantomiming progress. Above all, a partnership with status—where professionalism and integrity still mean something.
PlayamoPartners say they’ve cracked it. They call it a “Code of Honor.” The only question: is it a real operating standard—or just pretty words?
iGaming from the Inside
The industry loves its “gentlemen’s club” image: handshakes, mutual respect, rules of the game. In practice? Plenty of noise and not enough signal.
PlayamoPartners offer a different lane. The Code of Honor isn’t a slogan; it’s a manifesto—rules of engagement for the team and for partners alike.
Let’s unpack what sits behind this code—and check whether the principles hold up in practice.
What Is the PlayamoPartners “Code of Honor”?
At its core, it’s an answer to the industry’s chronic pain. Where partners ran into delayed payouts, murky stats, and no real support, PlayamoPartners put forward another approach.
It’s an internal rule: no chaos, no empty promises. Built on discipline, mutual respect, and strategic planning. The Code lays out the principles of a successful long-term partnership: predictable, systematic, anchored in real processes.
Each point is backed by practice: MGA and Curaçao licenses, a portfolio of 17 in-house brands, coverage across 20+ GEOs, and 5M acquired players. 10,000+ partners, transparent models (RevShare up to 50%, custom CPA, hybrid deals), steady payouts, and competent affiliate managers who’ve seen every kind of task. These aren’t showpieces for marketing—they’re infrastructure for long-term, predictable results.
Breaking down the PlayamoPartners Code
It’s a ten-point rule set. Each one shows how PlayamoPartners treat partnership: strategy over chaos, systems over luck, action over promises. None of it lives in a vacuum—every point maps to real processes and lived experience.
1. We don’t hoard. We hand-pick.
We don’t chase headcount. Every collaboration gets a bespoke review. Managers dig into traffic sources, a webmaster’s approach, experience, and strategy. Decisions are made on analysis and facts—not on vibes.
Quality channels take the front seat—PPC, SEO, and media. Schemes and fraud are out, full stop. That’s not a checkbox; it’s a principle: partnership only works where everyone meets the standard. PlayamoPartners is building a community not by counting partners, but by elevating each one. The program admits those who hit the bar and share the same values.
2. Every partnership is personal
No cookie-cutters, no one-size-fits-all. Partners deserve tailored terms.
The portfolio includes 17 proprietary brands with global reach and dozens of GEOs. Nearly every traffic source is welcome, so the offer fits the partner—not the other way around.
Add flexible models—CPA, RevShare, Hybrid, custom rates, and unique links—and you get a system where each partner lands terms aligned with their strategy and operating style.
In short: the pouring conditions don’t box you in—they unlock real freedom and deliver a genuine sense of individual treatment.
3. Reputation is the prime asset
Trust is earned by deeds, not declarations.
10+ years, 10,000+ partners, and not a single headline-level scandal we could find. The team protects what it’s built over the years and clearly keeps honour above hype.
For PlayamoPartners, reputation isn’t a promo tool—it’s compounding capital, maintained through consistency and keeping their word.
4. Responsibility & maturity
Promises kept are the bedrock of trust. We take on commitments—and see them through.
We spoke with several partners; the feedback aligned: payouts land on time, terms are clear, and operations are fully in-house—so they control the pipeline end-to-end.
That steadiness breeds confidence: partners can focus on targets, knowing product quality and payment stability aren’t question marks.
5. No drama. No empty talk.
We respect our partners—and expect the same in return. Communication is businesslike and calm. Dialogue is built on mutual respect. Without respect, a successful business partnership is impossible.
Managers are available 24/7, they don’t promise the moon—they help solve tasks and overcome real obstacles.
Mutual respect truly pushes emotion to the sidelines. The dialogue stays constructive and productive. Partners can move toward their goals with confidence, knowing there’s a team of professionals behind them, ready to step in at any moment.
Our conversations with PlayamoPartners managers confirm the impression: no overpromising, no endless debates. Instead—clear answers and specific actions, regardless of the situation’s complexity. That working style breeds calm and confidence in the partnership.
6. Confidentiality as a foundation
In an industry where information = capital, data protection is a necessity.
We checked how PlayamoPartners handles this: NDAs are the default, internal security protocols are implemented, and all traffic flows and financial data are encrypted.
For partners, this means scaling without fear of leaks or compromised intel. Everything points to confidentiality being not an option, but a mandatory standard for everyone. In short: you get room to grow without worrying your playbook will walk out the door.
7. Confidence, built on terms
The strength of a partnership lies in scale and flexibility. A broad portfolio and flexible models create a resilient ecosystem focused on growth and results.
We analyzed the PlayamoPartners product stack and the stated scale: 16 in-house brands, 20+ GEOs, and 5M+ players. The terms are flexible—RevShare up to 40%, CPA up to €600, plus hybrid models.
This toolkit creates an ecosystem where partners don’t get abstract promises—they get range, choice, and predictable outcomes. It all adds up to confidence built not on slogans, but on solid, negotiated terms.
8. Built for growth
Growth isn’t a fluke—it’s a tuned system.
We looked at how PlayamoPartners works with webmasters and saw a clear pattern: 10,000+ active partners suggest growth here isn’t left to chance. Managers step in when a partner nears their current ceiling, help optimize the funnel, and pinpoint new scaling vectors.
In many cases, this leads to multiplicative FTD growth: a thousand first-time deposits stops being a limit and becomes just another milestone. Any force majeure is examined in detail, and the lessons learned are fed back into an ever-evolving system.
The message is consistent: growth is a managed process here—embedded in the model, not a happy accident.
9. We’re not for everyone—and that’s the point
PlayamoPartners is a closed club, and that’s its edge.
There’s no simple “sign-up form.” Every cooperation passes a manager’s approval; terms are shaped individually; access to exclusive offers and no-deps is reserved for vetted, reliable partners.
This isn’t exclusivity for status’ sake—it’s quality control. The result is a team composed of those who truly meet the standard, which lets the group tackle complex tasks together and deliver steady, sustainable outcomes.
10. We don’t shout. We act.
Strength lies in timely, precise decisions. Partnerships aren’t built on slogans.
Payouts are steady, with a hold of up to 2 weeks (for FB, ASO, UAC, In-App, PWA). For most sources—no delays. With that approach, predictability and stability replace flashy promises of fast, unrealistic results—and that directly boosts partner loyalty and efficiency.
The Bottom Line
We stacked the talk against the walk—and the walk holds up. The PlayamoPartners Code of Honor isn’t stage dressing; it’s operational muscle. Payouts land when they should. Terms read clean and stay that way. Data stays buttoned up. Affiliate managers roll up their sleeves and solve, not stall.
That backbone is reinforced by a well-earned reputation and the trust of 10,000+ partners. Proof that words like honesty and responsibility don’t have to live on landing pages—they can sit at the core of a long-term business relationship.
So no, the Code of Honor isn’t a clever gimmick. It’s a working standard aimed squarely at real webmaster pain points. If this industry wants to grow up, this is the kind of rulebook that should set the tone.
In a space where hype is cheap and attention is expensive, PlayamoPartners keeps the receipts: honesty, mutual respect, accountability—the tools that turn principles into infrastructure and growth into the expected outcome.
Tired of asterisks and asterisks about the asterisks? Then you might belong at PlayamoPartners —provided you make the cut.
