Before SiGMA was a global powerhouse, it was a side hustle. Eman Pulis wasn’t born into iGaming; he clawed his way into it. From hosting small media and affiliate events to building a full-blown expo empire, Pulis didn’t follow the playbook. He rewrote it.
The first SiGMA event? Just 500 attendees in Malta. The latest ones? Over 30,000 visitors across 8 regions, Europe, Asia, LatAm, Africa, CIS, Balkans, Eurasia, and even emerging markets. What makes this story stand out isn’t just scale, it’s clarity of vision. Pulis didn’t build SiGMA to fit in. He built it to define what an iGaming expo could be: deal-making, founder-led, startup-friendly, and media-savvy.
Where others made bland booths, SiGMA created spectacle. Where other expos played it safe, Pulis chased risk, crossing into crypto, AI, eSports, and Web3 long before they were cool.
In less than a decade, Eman Pulis turned SiGMA into the Davos of iGaming, without big VC money, without legacy backing. Just grit, global thinking, and relentless media hustle. The result? A community that doesn’t just attend, it bets its future on the SiGMA stage.
