Crypto Payment Providers Receive Nominations
Last year's winner was BC.Game Casino and it's worth mentioning that True Flip hoisted the award in 2021.

The nominees in this category include Cryptopay, Bitso, Finrax, Global Unit Pay, and LetKnow Pay.
Cryptocurrencies are still a niche payment method in the online casino industry, but are experiencing growth. Latest statistics indicate that crypto gamblers place daily bets worth $3 million, accounting for 4% of all bets made per day. Nearly 60% of crypto wagers are made in Bitcoin, and the other tokens preferred by bettors are Ethereum and Litecoin. Industry experts projected crypto gambling to achieve a value of $93 billion by the end of 2023. As the online casino industry continues to grow, a surge in crypto adoption will be a trend.
The Importance of SiGMA Europe Summit
This year's SiGMA summit will be held in Valletta, Malta, from 13th to 17th November. Apart from the two award nights, the itinerary includes multiple networking opportunities, such as eight sports side events, 35 dinners, and two cultural tours. Over 800 exhibitors, 25,000 delegates, and 250 speakers will attend the glitzy event.
Participants will discuss technologies and initiatives that can affect the future of the iGaming sector. A charitable auction is part of the summit, and the proceeds will fund various projects organized by the SiGMA Foundation.
Crypto gambling is in its infancy, and events such as the SiGMA summit can encourage further development and acceptance of cryptocurrencies as an integral part of the online casino industry.
