PAGCOR Gives Clearance for SiGMA Manila Summit

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation or PAGCOR for short has formally confirmed the Manila 2020 event, scheduled for June 8-9, 2020. Thanks to the strategic partnership with SiGMA and ICE Asia, the country’s largest contributor of revenue after the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs has decided to endorse the upcoming Summit, which will be held at the SMX Convention Centre and the adjacent Conrad Hotel.

It is expected that SiGMA Group’s Manila Summit will be one of the biggest and most anticipated gaming and blockchain events in Asia. According to a spokesperson for PAGCOR, the collaboration between B2B gaming events that bring together online and offline international gaming sectors will encourage regional investments in the Philippines and intensify the government-owned and controlled gaming corporation.

Strength in Unity

As stated by SiGMA Group Founder and CEO, Eman Pulis, the World’s iGaming Festival wants to take an active and leading role in the industry by bringing together Asian and European communities.

“There is strength in unity, and through this joining of forces we hope to capitalise on the strong interest in Asia for iGaming and emerging technology. South-East Asia, especially Manila, has a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit, and there is growing value there, not just for companies seeking fresh opportunities in new jurisdictions but for the economic future of the region.

We want to take an active, leading role in not only bringing the Asian and European community together but also in building long-lasting commercial opportunities,” added Pulis.

Kate Chambers, managing director of Clarion Gaming is extremely grateful to PAGCOR for providing support, as it lays solid foundations for a long and constructive relationship for the future. Chambers commented:

“We are all focused on making June’s event in Manilla a huge success and an important new event on the calendar and one that satisfies the business needs of the industry active in Asia. Business development is driven by productive partnerships such as the one that we have in place with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. I am extremely grateful for PAGCOR’s support and look forward to establishing a long and productive relationship.”

After teaming up, Sigma and ICE Asia will provide a mega show in Manila between June 8th and 9th, 2020 spotlighting land-based, online gaming and affiliate marketing communities. The platform will also allow European and Asian businesses to display innovations in almost every field of iGaming.
