In Malta, there’s a lot of legal certainty. We’ve got a really strong regulatory structure, and it has a great reputation, that’s one of the most important things for us. We understand how important iGaming is for the island; it’s a priority for the government. We’ve got a strong regulator, there’s a lot of good talent here, and we find excellent people in Malta. I’d say that was another big reason why we chose to invest heavily in Malta. Right now, we’re employing around 530 people here, and we’ve got plans to grow that substantially

When SiGMA started, the first real client was actually the Lotteries and Gaming Authority, which today we know as the MGA. They knew where I came from, and I am eternally grateful to the government of Malta, to the MGA, and to GamingMalta. I would like to believe that nowadays SiGMA has grown to a level where we are bringing companies to our show and, through attending SiGMA, they hopefully realise there is an opportunity to set up an office in Malta.

We’ve always had a strong connection with Malta and its vibrant gaming community. While CasinoBeats served us well for several years, it became clear through ongoing industry dialogue that our focus was evolving—moving more toward technology and game development. Recognizing this shift, and based on feedback from key stakeholders, we made the decision to broaden the event’s scope and rebrand it as SBC Summit Malta.

Malta is a fantastically supportive country for the igaming industry and it is also incredibly diverse. We have 23 nationalities in our office of almost 1,000 employees speaking more than 12 languages so a genuinely diverse workforce. There are also strong skill sets within the country and a very supportive approach from both the government and the population towards igaming. We are continuing our strong growth trajectory, and GamingMalta is supporting us in attracting new talent from within and outside the sector.
