Mortein Klein will be sharing the floor with three other speakers to share stories and insights about the challenges and opportunities that affiliates face along their journey.

In the words of SiGMA organiser Eman Pulis, “Given the way the iGaming industry is evolving, we all agreed that the show should be all-encompassing rather than focus one area such as regulatory or affiliates. For the past number of years we have been noticing the three distinct pillars within the industry – solution providers, operators and affiliates - coming closer together. Today’s affiliate, for instance, is fast becoming a successful operator within months. With SiGMA we wanted to offer a 360° iGaming showcase in Malta that reflects this trend.”

Co-organiser Dennis Dyhr-Hansen went on to elaborate, “We go that extra mile to ensure that the crème de la crème of the affiliate world attends SiGMA. We approach top affiliates and invite them over to Malta, expenses on us. We also have a number of competitions for new affiliates, were we will be giving out a number of flight tickets and VIP treats. SiGMA is organized by a different team of motivated individuals, which means that we have different leads, we know different affiliates. This, in itself, is a guarantee that operators won’t be meeting the same faces over and over again.”
