The SiGMA Group, a colossus in iGaming responsible for organizing the biggest and most visited events in the industry, has held a press conference regarding its latest innovation and, with that, perhaps its most awaited upcoming venture in quite some time, the groundbreaking SiGMA Poker Tour.
And what better time and place to announce this trailblazing poker series than during the historic 10-year anniversary of SiGMA in front of its home audience in Malta, the venue where it all started?
Ivonne Montealegre, Founder & Event Director of Malta Poker Festival and SiGMA Poker Tour Operations Manager took the stage in Valletta and officially announced the launch of the highly-anticipated SiGMA Poker Tour 2025, a brand-new event series that lit up the industry ever since it was first introduced a couple of months ago.
A blend of high-end poker action and premium networking opportunities meticulously designed to connect poker professionals from all over the world, the SiGMA Poker Tour is set to be much more than just your average poker tour series that you are used to seeing.
During the press conference, Montealegre discussed the intricate nature of the SiGMA Poker Tour, hinting that the inaugural stop of this extraordinary event series is scheduled to take place in São Paulo, Brazil, one of the fastest-rising gaming markets on the planet.
What makes this upcoming poker series even more exciting is the fact that SiGMA adds yet another venue to its already-packed annual event calendar. This means that SiGMA is currently present in 6 different territories globally, with another 3 soon to be revealed.
Moreover, Montealegre revealed that the SiGMA Poker Tour would be an integral part of the globally renowned SiGMA conferences, adding even more weight and importance to the already reputable events organized by this behemoth.
Fitting for an event organized by the company that is known for creating the “mother of all conferences”, the upcoming SiGMA Poker Tour can be summed up in several key points:
🤝 Give back through the SiGMA Foundation
🌎 2 tour destinations launching in 2025
⛪️ Play in exciting venues
🤩 Multiple tournaments each day
🏆€0.5 million prize pool
🧑🤝🧑700 players expected
Joined by upper-echelon SiGMA representatives in the likes of SiGMA Founder Eman Pulis, GPI/THM Head of Partnerships Roland Boothby, Brazilian SiGMA Poker Tour Ambassador Luan Kovarik, and Chief Philanthropy Officer at SiGMA Foundation Keith Marshall, Montealegre announced a new era in company’s rich history that perfectly reflects SiGMA Group’s innovative approach to stirring up the poker scene, forging strategic partnerships, integrating charitable initiatives via its Foundation, and nurturing talent.
Speaking of SiGMA’s progressive nature, we have to give credit where credit is due and mention the amazing SiGMA Foundation, which is responsible for literally making the world a better place by building fundraising platforms, and schools, and generally helping those in need across all continents.
We do this to build teams, build fundraising platforms, build schools, and as dramatic as it may sound, comfort in their lives.
Well, the SiGMA Foundation has even bigger plans for the future that are closely intertwined with some of those upcoming venues that we have just talked about and that are going to be part of the SiGMA Poker Tour in 2025.
Suppose everything goes according to plan, and we don’t see why it shouldn’t, the SiGMA Foundation will lay the foundation for even more charitable projects, such as a sports centre in Brazil, a women’s department project in Morocco, and a school in Uganda, proving its unmatched philanthropy among its iGaming counterparts.
Consequently, the SiGMA Group once again shows that it is unrivalled when it comes to organizing events, creating connections, giving back to its community, and overall setting the bar for all of its event-planning counterparts.
