SiGMA Rome 2025 Big Recap: How It Went for 888STARZ

SiGMA once again shook up the industry: new faces, fresh trends, plenty of noise, and a handful of insights that people were much more willing to share in private than from the stage. It’s been more than a week since the event, yet the 888STARZ Partners team is still feeling the aftershocks of those intense and productive days in Rome. In this article, we want to walk our current and future partners through how it all went for us.

888STARZ Partners: New Focus, New Results

SiGMA Rome 2025 became a milestone for us — a moment that clearly showed: the changes we made over the past year are paying off. Our booth 3240G was buzzing for two days straight: partners came with concrete questions, new faces approached with genuine interest, and the media lined up for interviews even before the event kicked off.

Everything we worked on this past year — restructuring the company, shifting to an active CPA strategy, launching new GEOs, and expanding our licensing roadmap — finally stopped being just “plans”. It has become a fully functioning system backed by real cases and measurable results.

Media Days That Spoke Louder Than Any Presentation

SiGMA once again highlighted how fast the iGaming market is evolving and how fierce the competition has become among marketers, operators, and affiliates. The main takeaway could be summed up simply: those who adapt processes quickly and think beyond the market average are the ones who win.

The media interest we received was a clear sign that the industry noticed our shift. The interviews turned out honest and dynamic — editors asked direct questions, and we didn’t hide behind marketing clichés.

Over the two days, we sat down with:

• Gambling Insider.
• Focus Gaming News.
• RichAds.
• IGAMING TODAY.
• CPA.Club.
• ProTraffic / AffTimes.
• DHBC Media.
• AffBox Media.
• Partnerkin.

These weren’t formal check-the-box interviews. They were real conversations about CPA, emerging markets, media buying, traffic quality, and how we view the affiliate model after all the internal changes we’ve gone through. And it’s exactly these kinds of discussions that best reflect where the industry is heading — and where we’re heading with it.

The Golden Chip and Booth Vibes

A real emotional centerpiece was the drawing of our 15-gram 888STARZ gold chip. Guests naturally gathered around it, promoters kept the energy high, and the QR-code registration turned out to be a surprisingly smooth way to meet new people.

The golden chip became the perfect icebreaker — a conversation starter that got attendees engaged right away. People happily signed up via the QR code to participate, which also created a constant flow of visitors to the booth. The final draw at 3:30 PM attracted so many people that the 888STARZ booth became the focal point of the hall. The grand prize ultimately went to Michael, and we wholeheartedly congratulate him!

Evenings brought another dimension — the booth transformed into a relaxed networking zone with light music, drinks, and conversations full of insights. Moments like these can’t be faked — they only happen where the atmosphere is real.

Key Takeaways

SiGMA Rome 2025 was not just another conference for us; it was the place where everything we’ve worked on over the past year came together in a vibrant, active, and authentic environment. Three days in Rome flew by in a heartbeat: dozens of meetings, media interviews, new contacts, and the joy of finally catching up with long-time partners in person instead of online.

There was always movement at our booth — some discussing CPA, some asking about new GEOs, some returning just because “it feels so welcoming here”. Conferences like SiGMA are a reminder of why we do all this — for real people, real partnerships, and genuine interaction.

And SiGMA Rome 2025 proved one thing clearly: we’re on the right track. The 888STARZ Partners reboot wasn’t just an internal reform — it laid the foundation for a new pace, a higher level of service, and a refreshed philosophy for working with partners. And this is only the beginning!
