With Eman halfway around the world in Manila, Philippines, carving out new opportunities for the iGaming industry in Asia, Oliver De Bono, COO of SiGMA Group, accepted the award on his behalf. He spoke briefly to say, “If Eman was here, he’d say that this award doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to everyone in this room because we’re all contributing to the same industry.”
Upon hearing about the awards, Eman Pulis later sent a video of thanks, saying, “Outstanding contribution to gaming - wow, what a title! Thank you so much for voting for me and for giving me this prestigious award.”

Finally, Pulis reflected on the iGaming sector itself, commenting ,“It’s funny that I have been given this title, as for the last seven years it was the other way round - gaming gave me an outstanding contribution, gaming gave me some of the best friends that I have today, gaming also gave me some of the brightest mentors I have to day, and gaming quite frankly made me who I am today. So for these reasons I will always feel in debt to this industry, and I look forward to working even harder with this reinvigorated dream!”
