WorldMatch: Product showcase and recognitions at SIGMA Central Europe

“We showcased our extensive portfolio of iGaming content, focusing specifically on new releases and proven top-performing titles, emphasizing high-quality graphics and innovative mechanics,” said Gabriele de Lorenzi, Commercial Director at WorldMatch.

“The audience response was exceptionally positive. It was capped by the prestigious achievement of being named Best Game Provider Italy 2025 at the SiGMA Central Europe Awards, confirming the market's appreciation for the quality and regulatory alignment of our products,” he added.

Rome: A premier hub for regulated markets and leaders

“We assess SiGMA Central Europe 2025 as a critical and high-value event.
The event successfully drew high-level decision-makers (C-level executives, senior operators) from Italy and the wider European region. The focus on regulated markets meant the conversations were strategic, targeted, and highly relevant to immediate business goals,” de Lorenzi continued..

“The location in Rome, combined with the timing ahead of the new Italian license tender, made it a prime location to consolidate existing partnerships and forge new, strategic alliances.”

Stronger Operators, Smarter Content, Steady Expansion

The Italian market in 2025 is defined by regulatory transformation and resilient growth, said de Lorenzi, who remarked that Italy is undergoing a significant shift with the new online licensing tender (high fee, one-domain-per-license), which will likely consolidate the market around fewer, larger, and more financially robust operators.

“Despite strict regulation, the iGaming sector continues to grow steadily. Innovation is focused on optimizing content for mobile platforms and leveraging AI for enhanced compliance and security.”

“The primary opportunity is to partner with the newly licensed, strengthened operators. We are perfectly positioned to supply the proven, compliant, and high-performing content they need to secure their market share in the less-fragmented landscape,” he affirmed.

Driving growth through diverse content and global expansion 

“Our plans for late 2025 and early 2026 focus on content diversification and aggressive international market entry. In Italy we’re launching a wave of new, locally tailored slot titles designed to capitalize on the renewed energy of the consolidated market structure.

"Across Europe we anticipate major launches into newly regulated European jurisdictions, leveraging our strong partnerships to expand our footprint beyond our core markets,” he concluded.
