Solid Insights from SiGMA Central Europe 2025 You Want to Know

If you weren’t at SiGMA Eurasia 2025, you missed the most popular question of the event: “How can I get secure and fast payments for iGaming?” Luckily, Corytech had the answers. The team spent the event connecting with industry leaders and exploring how innovation can meet the growing demand for reliable, scalable payment solutions across the gaming ecosystem.

The Trends from SiGMA Central Europe 2025

Anti-Deepfake Detection

Deepfake fraud has evolved into one of the industry’s biggest threats, making advanced AI detection indispensable. Modern systems now use real-time video identification and liveness detection to verify authenticity through natural gestures, expressions, and micro-movements. By spotting imperceptible visual inconsistencies, these tools safeguard operators from financial loss, fraud, and AML compliance risks tied to fake identities.

Biometric KYC

Biometric KYC has revolutionized player onboarding by replacing slow, manual verification with automated facial or fingerprint scans. In under a minute, users can complete identity checks and start playing — boosting conversion rates and reducing friction. For operators, it’s a win-win: faster user onboarding, stronger security, and full regulatory compliance in one seamless process.

As Dmytro Miliukov, CEO of Corytech, shared during the event:

“The iGaming industry’s most profound shift is happening at the crossroads of technology, transparency, and responsibility.

As innovation accelerates and regulations evolve, payment solutions must keep pace — serving as the backbone of sustainable growth and public confidence.

At Corytech, our zero-stress payment ecosystem was designed from the start with security and data integrity at its core. We believe the future belongs to those who can deliver fast, protected fintech experiences — seamlessly and without friction”.

AI in Problem Gambling Prevention

Artificial intelligence is transforming responsible gaming. Operators are now deploying real-time AI systems trained on behavioral data to detect early signs of gambling harm — such as loss chasing or excessive late-night play — and deliver personalized interventions like cooling-off reminders or deposit limits.

As Eman Pulis, Founder of SiGMA Group, put it: “The industry’s future lies not just in technology, but in how we apply it responsibly: building ecosystems that are transparent, inclusive, and globally connected.”

KYC and AML Regulations

Regulatory tightening continues, with 2026 bringing tougher KYC and AML compliance standards. One-time verification is no longer sufficient — operators must now conduct continuous checks to prevent fraud and ensure affordability. AI-driven biometric systems and liveness detection are becoming essential tools to meet rising enforcement demands and counter attempts to exploit deepfakes or synthetic identities.

AI-Driven Hyper-Personalization

AI-powered hyper-personalization is redefining how iGaming platforms engage players. Beyond basic content suggestions, AI now dynamically tailors entire gaming environments in real time, using granular behavioral segmentation to anticipate user preferences. Reports show that AI-personalized messages can boost engagement by up to 80%, underscoring how vital instant relevance has become for user retention and loyalty.

Networking & Deals

SiGMA was as much about relationships as it was about business. From handshake deals to relaxed talks over drinks, the expo floor buzzed with energy. Exhibitors and attendees focused on expansion strategies, entering new GEOs, and forging partnerships for sustainable growth in emerging markets. Behind every casual conversation was serious business — and plenty of opportunities ready to be seized.

Countless ideas were shared and explored during the event, and numerous potential collaborations and partnerships took shape.

As for us — we’re already gearing up for the next big milestone.
