In November 2023, UltraPlay exhibited at the SiGMA Europe Summit in Malta. This three-day event served as the grand finale to our bustling year, providing a strategic platform where we diligently worked on strengthening existing partnerships and exploring collaborative opportunities with esteemed industry colleagues.

Aside from the regular hustle and bustle, we also had the chance to participate in a panel discussion organized by SiGMA. The topic was “The Gambler’s Journey: Balancing Entertainment And Addiction” where our CEO, Mario Ovcharov shared his insights on responsible gambling and what operators can do to ensure it.

At the heart of our engagement was a carefully crafted stand that stood as a beacon of innovation and excellence. Our participation in this summit was not merely about showcasing products and services; it was a reaffirmation of the relationships we’ve built and the collaborative spirit that defines the iGaming landscape. We express our gratitude to everyone who visited our stand, engaged in meaningful conversations, and contributed to the success of this event.
