SiGMA Will Remove Entry Fees for Operators in 2026
In 2026, SiGMA World will cancel entry fees for operators attending conferences, provided they register with a corporate company email.
New Registration Rules for Operators and Affiliates
Organizers confirmed that starting in 2026, registration will be completely free not only for affiliates, as it has been for more than a decade, but also for all operators using a valid corporate email. This update follows growing interest from B2B companies seeking more active engagement with operators across the sector.
According to SiGMA, this year’s events attracted nearly 90,000 delegates, demonstrating a strong demand for direct interaction among operators, affiliates, suppliers, and regulatory representatives.
The Rising Importance of SiGMA Summits
For over 11 years, the SiGMA platform has established itself as a convenient meeting point where iGaming professionals connect, collaborate, and share insights. At the recent SiGMA Central Europe summit, high-profile speakers took the stage, including Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament — reflecting the growing interest from government institutions.
The summit also featured a keynote from Betsson’s Chief Commercial Officer, who addressed
the challenges of working in regulated markets and the need to stay adaptive. His statement that “compliance can become a path to new opportunities” reflects the current environment operators face today.
