It's great to see Manila coming back to being one of the iGaming hotspots in Asia. 

After a two-year pause from live events in Manila, it was finally time for some much-needed face-to-face networking!

It is always great to reconnect with old friends and meet new connections. If you're interested in attending one soon, keep an eye on SiGMA's Webpage for information on upcoming iGatherings and Gaming Festivals.​

One of our recruiters responds to a question about how writing your resume in a specific way will help your application rise to the top of the stack on LinkedIn or any other ATS.

Q: How can I improve my CV or LinkedIn profile based on how a recruiter look for candidates?

A: Use (the right) Keywords in your resume and profile.
These are words or phrases that are particular in your line of work or role. It can be programming skills (Phyton, JAVA, etc.), language/s (Mandarin, Korean, French, etc.), market experience (ASIA, SEA, EU, etc.), action words (business growth, strategy work, budgeting, team management etc.).

Keywords play a huge role in search work from a recruiter’s perspective – and a great profile can easily be missed. It may improve your chances of being selected for an interview because your CV is clear and concise, and it may also appear at the top of an online search (LinkedIn, Google etc.) by recruiters. To know what keywords to use, you could for example look at JDs for roles you are interested in.

Another thing to always have in your CV would be a short introduction of yourself, summarizing your professional experience and what value you believe you will bring to the table.

Finally, if you can pick out and bullet some of your main career achievements, that is a great way for you to “brag” about yourself and in a clear way show your main accomplishments.

IGB and SiGMA will host an event on the 29th and the 30th of September, with networking drinks and hors d’oeuvres served between 1 and 2pm at the StrandZuid, Amsterdam.  Sign up here. 

“We are proud to be front and centre when it comes to supporting equal opportunities. We strongly believe that a healthy future for the iGaming sector is one where diversity can flourish. This is more than a duty – it’s a privilege.” - Sophie Crouzet, COO for SiGMA Group

About the Event:

The SiGMA Roadshow is stepping up its game; now virtual, the webinar will take on a new jurisdiction every month, targeting a global agenda of gritty conference topics and a small, yet buzzing expo floor.

Hosted on an interactive platform, the 2 hour mini conference will delve into 5 key areas of debate, bringing key themes specific to the region - such as regulation, tax and compliance, and emerging tech, to a table of thought leaders and academics at the top of their game.

The expo floor offers a carefully curated display of the products and solutions leading the market. Whether you’re targeting the industry on a global scale or zoning in on a niche area of the sector, this high energy exposition offers a direct line to some of the top brands in the business - making it an ideal place for networking and brand exposure.

The SiGMA Virtual Roadshow will reflect SiGMA’s global events opening in 5 major regions over the next few years, specifically Europe, the CIS region, Asia, the Americas, and Africa.

We’ve been fortunate enough to do dozens of interviews and picked up a few tips along the way. Our team came up with the idea of sharing some of them with you starting this week with hopes that they will help you prepare for your next interview. 

For our 1st, Chris shares her take on Hiring Manager's expectations and how to better prepare. 

Online gaming in India is still in its early stages, resulting to a host of taxation and valuation issues. The challenge it poses to the entire industry led the federal government to set up a panel to review its current legal requirements and any ambiguity around the valuation of casino, racetrack, and internet gambling services. ​
