Wanting a token for the digital gaming market?

In the ever-evolving world of iGaming, the debate surrounding the use of tokens and their role within this economy continues to be a hot topic. The consensus among industry experts, as expressed at various events, is that tokens should have a clear utility, leaning towards productive instruments such as revenue sharing and well-defined access rights.

This discussion will continue at SiGMA Central Europe 2025, scheduled to take place in Rome from November 3 to 6, 2025. The event promises to delve deeper into the debate, focusing on blockchain, crypto, and real-world applications in the iGaming universe.

But the question remains: does a token truly deserve a place in the product, or is it simply about the ability to issue one? This question was raised during the Startup Pitch debates at the SiGMA AIBC Euro-Med event in Malta. While no specific individual was named in the available sources, the sentiment was clear: a token must earn its place in the iGaming economy through utility-led approaches.

Vague promises are discouraged when it comes to tokens. Instead, if a token generates value for players and operators, strengthens loyalty programs, facilitates payments, and is backed by a solid economy, it has a place in the iGaming economy. Conversely, a robust product with established liquidation options may better serve users if a token does not meet these criteria.

In light of this, it's essential for projects to consider market arrival time and budget for listings and community management early in their planning stages. Fabio Zammit, an industry expert, emphasised this point, highlighting the importance of careful planning and strategic budgeting for a successful token integration in the iGaming economy.
