SiGMA World 2026 brings more than 30,000 delegates and 1,200 exhibitors to Fiera Roma. Few events in the iGaming calendar gather as many operators and game providers in one place.
The industry measures harm through underage play, and problem gambling. Fake games are the harm category it does not measure: copies of popular slots running on online casinos without the game provider’s involvement. Players cannot tell them apart from the real thing, and a player can look perfectly healthy in their session data and still be harmed, because the problem is in the game, not in how they play. Outside Gamecheck, almost nobody is counting them.
Gamecheck shows operators how to protect players from fake games. The Gamecheck SEAL tells players an online casino’s games have been checked with the game providers, while the Gamecheck app, Search Tool and Chrome Extension let them check for free. Visit us in Hall 1, Stand 1024.
Four days, nine halls and five conference stages at Fiera Roma, connecting operators, game providers, regulators and investors from around the world.
A bigger second edition
SiGMA returns to Fiera Roma with more floor space and five stages covering regulation, affiliates, emerging technology and global finance.
A meeting point for regulators
Around 65 regulators and regulatory authorities from several continents are expected, under this year’s theme, Advancing Regulated Gaming.
Italy in focus
For the first time, a full stage is dedicated to the Italian market, delivered in Italian, alongside an Italian Pavilion on the show floor.
Player protection on the agenda
With integrity at the centre of the agenda, Gamecheck will talk operators through the Gamecheck SEAL and how it gives players a clear signal that the games on a site are real.
