The Director General of Angola’s Institute for Gaming Supervision (ISJ), Dr. Nerethz Tati, participated in SiGMA World 2026, held from November 2 to 5 at Fiera Roma in Rome, Italy. The event brought together gaming regulators, operators and technology providers from different countries to discuss developments, emerging technologies and regulatory challenges shaping the global gaming industry.

For the ISJ, the gathering provided an opportunity to exchange experiences with international stakeholders, share regulatory knowledge and follow emerging trends in the sector. The programme featured conferences and workshops addressing key industry issues, including artificial intelligence, digital payments, sports betting integrity and efforts to combat illegal gambling.

It also included a session focused on regulatory challenges in Africa, with discussions covering gaming licensing, anti-money laundering measures and player protection. As the institution responsible for regulating and supervising gaming activities in Angola, the ISJ continues to monitor technological and operational developments in the industry.

The Authority’s participation in international events such as SiGMA World enables it to examine regulatory approaches adopted in other markets and assess their potential relevance to Angola’s gaming sector.

The ISJ noted that understanding how emerging technologies are changing gaming products and access to digital platforms is important for identifying potential risks, strengthening regulatory oversight, protecting minors and promoting responsible gambling.

Through its engagement with international industry stakeholders, the Angolan regulator aims to remain informed about developments that could support effective supervision and the continued protection of players.
