During a compelling interview on iGaming Real Talk at the AIBC Eurasia 2026 edition in Dubai, SiGMA Group founder Eman Pulis shared exclusive insights with host Surya Palli. The conversation covered the event’s origins, its deep emotional connection to the UAE, and a bold vision for growth within the regulated gaming landscape.
The defining moment of the sit-down arrived when Pulis unveiled plans to scale AIBC Eurasia’s presence beyond Dubai, with Ras Al Khaimah officially designated as a secondary primary location starting in 2027.
Ras Al Khaimah: The Next Chapter for AIBC Eurasia
In this high-profile announcement, Pulis confirmed that AIBC Eurasia will broaden its reach to Ras Al Khaimah for the 2027 season. The innovative itinerary features a dedicated full-day workshop in Ras Al Khaimah, followed by helicopter transfers to transport attendees back to Dubai, creating a high-end, multi-location event experience.
“Next year, we are planning to increase the footprint of our events from a tech conference in Dubai. We will also have a full-day workshop in Ras Al Khaimah. So AIBC Eurasia will not only be in Dubai, but will be in Ras Al Khaimah as well. Chopper rides are taking everyone back up to Dubai,” Pulis revealed.
This strategic expansion is carefully aligned with the Emirati government’s measured approach to developing the regulated gaming sector. The move coincides with Ras Al Khaimah’s preparations to debut its inaugural integrated resort next year, a milestone that will establish the emirate as a vital center for gaming innovation and technology.
Pulis highlighted the necessity of following the timeline set by local regulators while advocating for the global standards of responsible, regulated gaming.
“It’s imperative that one respects the pace with which a government wants to walk the walk. We have this mantra of promoting regulated gaming worldwide, and we do it here as well. The region is slowly warming up for the sector,” he stated.
A Sustainable Path Forward
The growth of AIBC Eurasia reflects the core SiGMA Group philosophy: fostering deep government relations and tailoring operations to local interests. The unwavering support from the UAE, dating back to the event’s premiere during the global pandemic, which included official endorsement and financial support from its inception, has been a cornerstone of the brand’s stability and regional success.
By integrating Ras Al Khaimah into the circuit, AIBC Eurasia solidifies its status as the premier platform for networking and emerging tech collaboration in the Middle East. This evolution signals robust momentum for the series, unlocking fresh opportunities for suppliers, affiliates, operators, and regulatory bodies within a shifting regional market.
