The iGatherings have become a staple on Malta’s iGaming calendar, a sign of SiGMA’s year-round commitment to the industry. Over the previous editions guests have really been treated to some of the finest dining extant, and the experience is only getting better with successive editions of the event.

The purpose of the iGatherings is to expose the movers and the shakers of the iGaming industry to some of the finest locations the island has to offer. The largely expatriate community will have the opportunity to experience a different side of Malta in a featured venue, enjoy fine food from a featured chef, with the work of a featured artist in the background.

This marquee event started off at fine local restaurants, but as of the last edition it has taken flight. The last event was organized at the MCC, whose 16th century architecture provided a stunning backdrop. Going forward, iGatherings will always take place at one of the most majestic locations the island has to offer, and display the talents of the finest local chefs and artists. The Casino Maltese, a wildly underrated venue with a truly unique atmosphere, has been chosen to host iGathering 18.

As ever, no expense is being spared, and the industry elites in attendance will be able to enjoy a night of finer living – and do a spot of networking if they’re so inclined. Once again, this event is co-organized with six sponsors, and promises to be a quintessential fusion of Maltese culture and the iGaming biz.

January 25, 2018 – Tallinn, Estonia: BetterBetting, a blockchain based, decentralised peer-to-peer sports betting system, has now reached its soft cap of $2 milllion and is expected to quickly reach its $30m hard cap by the end of January.

Once the target $30m in ICO sales is reached there will be no further token sales apart from maintenance tokens (to compensate for tokens burnt as part of transaction fees) and reserve funds. The total token pool is hard capped at 650,000,000 BETR.

Of the total tokens, 180m tokens will be locked in reserve making the liquid distribution only about 470m (depending on token sales). The digital BetterBetting currency will be the industry standard for a transparent, provably fair and trustless sports betting system, for all online sports gaming.

The company’s advanced distributed peer-to-peer and peer-to-sportsbook wagering platform facilitated through frictionless use of BETR, will be accepted and integrated with the leading sports betting sites, worldwide.
