In this exclusive interview, Naman Bajaj, Senior Sales Manager at Slotegrator, shares insights on why face-to-face events like SiGMA remain essential in today’s fast-paced digital world. He explains how in-person networking accelerates trust-building in B2B partnerships and often achieves more in one meeting than weeks of online communication.
How important are face-to-face events like SiGMA?
Face-to-face events are critical for us. We focus on in-person networking at events like SiGMA because a single offline meeting can do the job of weeks of online communication; live discussions are simply more meaningful than, for example, a string of messages on Telegram, or a dozen back-and-forth emails. Events like SiGMA make it easier to establish targeted, high-quality connections and strengthen trust, which is essential in B2B partnerships.
What are Slotegrator’s key objectives when attending SiGMA Eurasia Dubai this year?
SiGMA Eurasia Dubai is a great platform to meet providers, operators, and investors from all over the world. When you say “Dubai,” it immediately calls a few things to mind — specifically, how it’s a gateway to other regions and one of the most tech-forward cities on the map. The exhibition highlights technologies, including AI, blockchain, and big data in daily operations, all of which we’re very focused on. Basically, that makes SiGMA Eurasia the perfect place to present our new product features, discuss our fresh rebranding, and (of course) have a number of very productive meetings.
How does this event fit into your broader 2026 business development strategy?
Starting a year with productive events is always a great idea! In this case, SiGMA was the perfect way to start 2026 — the exhibition’s focuses align perfectly with our own.
It’s no secret that the industry is transforming — AI technology is quickly shifting from being a fringe benefit to a core feature — and we saw a very tech-aware audience in Dubai, which is promising. You can really feel that everyone in the industry agrees about where we’re going. Slotegrator is definitely staying on the cutting edge; we integrate AI into our solutions (like our new Moneygratro AI Bot) to make them more effective and efficient, and we use it internally to reduce the workload on our team. So, all in all, the fact that AI is such a priority at SiGMA Eurasia this year fits perfectly with our company’s direction.
How are you preparing your team to maximize high-value traffic at the event?
You get a lot more out of events like this if your networking is targeted.
Sharing insights and perspectives with people on the same page as yourself is a pleasure. So while we never miss the opportunity to connect with new partners and clients, what we really try to do is book as many meetings in advance as we can. This way, we make sure that every minute counts, and that every meeting has enough time to cover all the relevant details. It also helps you prepare for the event, so you can get the most out of each meeting.
So really, the idea is this: instead of trying to meet as many people as possible, we focus on meetings that can bring something useful for both parties.
How do you differentiate yourself from other aggregators and platform providers at large-scale exhibitions like SiGMA?
We focus on making sure participants can see the quality of our solutions right off the bat.
Nothing sets you apart like having a good product, and ours just keep getting better. Our game content API has over 30,000 titles, our payment system solution has over 200 payment methods, and our turnkey platform has multiple AI-powered modules that put the power of real-time analytics at operators’ fingertips.
You also can’t over-emphasize the importance of a strong brand identity.
Of course, this was a good year for us, branding-wise — our recent rebrand really brings our public persona in line with the internal evolution we’ve been undergoing for a few years. Our new color scheme is a striking combination of green and purple, and the new mascot — a gecko — is bold, sleek, and confident.
Which products or new features will you highlight in Dubai — turnkey casino platform, APIgrator, Moneygrator, Sportegrator?
In Dubai, we will primarily highlight Moneygrator and our latest release, the Moneygrator AI Bot, which we first introduced in Barcelona.
Moneygrator is a multi-currency payment solution that allows operators to integrate over 200 payment methods from 50+ providers through a single contract and integration, supporting 150+ currencies and cryptocurrencies. Moneygrator AI Bot, on the other hand, is the industry’s first AI assistant for payment integrations. This feature further simplifies integration and provides instant answers based on API documentation and product functionality — it automatically processes up to 80% of requests that would normally require an account manager.
What key message do you want attendees to associate with the Slotegrator brand after the event?
As we see it, adopting modern technologies, offering quality products, and delivering fast, effective services is no longer an advantage, but the norm — one we always seek to go beyond. We position ourselves as a long-term strategic and technological partner providing complex services for operators in a variety of markets and regulatory environments. Our new brand identity is a reflection of this attitude — we are flexible, dynamic, and continually evolving.
