The SiGMA Eurasia Gaming broke records tonight, raising €242,600 for charity. The gala event, which took place at the Intercontinental Festival City, Dubai, hosted some of the sector’s biggest names as it celebrated an industry enjoying the best of days as it emerges from 2 years of pandemic.

Bringing the first day of SiGMA Eurasia to a glamorous close, the event, generously sponsored by BetConstruct and hosted by SiGMA’s own Mark Borg and Crypto Megan, saw an elite crowd of gaming influencers come together for an evening of premier networking, fine dining and some serious thrills.
