AGS is the premier affiliate networking event in iGaming and BC Tech, and March 21st-22nd we’ll be heading to Manila in the Philippines to bring together 200 quality affiliates with six operators making giant strides into the future of the Asian market.
We’re flying in affiliates with premium Asian traffic from all over the world for this special event. It will be an all-inclusive weekend of networking nirvana, held at the luxurious Shangri-La at the Fort hotel in Manila’s Bonifacio Global City area.
Those wishing to benefit from this premier networking opportunity should register here to avoid missing out.
Hosted by operators including FavBet, Hero Gaming, Posh Friends, Royal Panda, and Wunderino, the event comprises two days of exclusive networking and discussions, opening doors to new opportunities for grabbing market share in the fast-growing Asian market.
A dedicated networking area will offer the perfect space for operators to meet and make deals with affiliates. Alongside the hosts, ShellPay and HasTraffic will be sponsoring the activity.
With conference discussions across topics such as The Asian Landscape: Opportunities and Challenges, AI Applications for Affiliates, and Affiliation and the BC Tech, attendees can expect to leave the two day event with a significant advantage over the competition.
Our top flight speakers will be Rickard Vikström (Chairman – Polar Bear Group), Johan Styren (CEO – Dilanti Media), Oron Barber (General Manager – CoinPoint Services), Veronica Andrino (Global Ambassador – Huobi Global), and Diana Rotaru (CMO – BlockChip). The moderator for panel discussions will be Oliver DeBono (COO – SiGMA).
All our guests will stay at the 5 star Hotel Shangri-La at the Fort, and be treated to lavish dinners at Crystal Jade restaurant and Buddha Bar, where the closing party with 200 fellow affiliates rounds off the weekend.

Affiliate Grand Slam heads to Manila
AGS returns to Asia
Affiliates enjoy an evening of fine dining in Hong Kong.
On the 21st to 22nd March, 2019, SiGMA will embark on the next stage of its iGaming roadshow. This year, our established affiliate event, Affiliate Grand Slam, will be held in Manila, the Philippines.
The all-inclusive event will provide ample opportunity for those in the business to forge the kind of deal-making handshakes that will shape the future of the iGaming industry in the years to come. Affiliates will be treated to several no-expense-spared evenings of fine dining and networking with like-minded denizens of the iGaming sphere, as well as an occasion for meaningful debate.
The increasingly competitive Asian region presents an impressive opportunity for those interested in making the most out of the fast-growing, regulated and soon-to-be-regulated markets in the continent. As such, the AGS is ideally positioned on the global iGaming calendar, with the event occurring back-to-back with the ASEAN Gaming Show. The summit will focus on technological innovation and disruption in the Asian market – in line with this focus, the AGS will feature a conference dedicated to a conversation on AI for Affiliates.
The AGS is sponsored by 6 operators and 6 suppliers.
Booking and sponsorship opportunities for this exclusive event are currently available, interested individuals can contact Laima and Claudia.

Affiliate Grand Slam
Affiliate Grand Slam Kiev
The Affiliate Grand Slam series is all about relationship-building in the best possible environment for deal-making handshakes. Great relationships are at the very centre of the affiliate sphere in iGaming. It is nigh on impossible to be successful in affiliation without maintaining healthy bonds with key collaborators, and forging new ones. This is especially true in iGaming, a very interdependent scene in most respects.
With its first foray into Asia done, dusted and an unqualified success, the Affiliate Grand Slam is returning to Europe for its next instalment, which is now scheduled for August 9th – 10th. This time, the marquee event is heading to the cultural and tech hotbed of Kiev.
The Ukrainian capital sits at an intersection that makes it an ideal location for the next leg of Affiliate Grand Slam, which will focus on the European and CIS markets. Kiev is the ideal host city for such a convergence, and its place on the European map will attract exponents from both regional markets and bring them together.
The fundamental formula that defined previous editions of the Affiliate Grand Slam remains: 200 elite affiliates will join a select grouping of operators, capped at six. The event has mastered the art of introducing outstanding content, but also maxes out on the more leisurely front. There is no better setting for the creation and upkeep of crucial relationships in this sphere.
TonyBet, L&L Europe Ltd., Yobetit and Buffalo Partners have been confirmed as hosts of this marquee event, which is also sponsored by HasTraffic, AEtoken, Matching Visions & KTO.
Affiliate Grand Slam Kiev will include two nights in a 5-star hotel, lavish dinners, outstanding conference-based content and a stylish closing night. Find out more about AGS Kiev https://sigma.com.mt/events/ags/
