AMIG - Women in the Gaming Industry Association - invites all of its 1,000+ members – and all women who are not yet members – to save the date: August 7, at 7 PM, at the H2 Poker Club in São Paulo, located at Rua Henrique Schaumann, 313 – São Paulo/SP.
This event will celebrate the talent, skill, and growing strength of women in the gaming universe. Men are also very welcome and will have two exclusive tables to enjoy the evening while watching the main competition.
Admission is free, but spots are limited, making early registration essential. To secure a seat, participants must register at https://info.h2club.com.br/amig-no-h2-10-07
A Program full of strategy, inspiration, and fun
AMIG is a non-profit organization dedicated to driving the growth and development of the online gaming and betting industry, a rapidly expanding sector. Its mission is to boost the participation and professional advancement of women in this field, working toward a more inclusive and equal environment where female talent is recognized.
Natalia Nogues, one of AMIG’s founders, highlights the importance of the event: “It’s both a symbolic and practical way to claim spaces that were previously less accessible to women. Poker, for example, has always been associated with the male world. By promoting a night exclusively for women, we show that we’re just as capable of learning and playing — and playing well. We want to inspire and empower more women to engage not only in poker but throughout the entire gaming industry.”
AMIG Poker Night III reflects this commitment. The event aims to demystify poker, a traditionally male-dominated space, and demonstrate that the game is accessible and engaging for all. It’s a unique opportunity to explore this fascinating mind sport, refine strategies, and, above all, celebrate the power and intelligence of women.
Must-see program: poker, lessons, and prizes
The third edition of AMIG Poker Night promises a memorable evening for women in the gaming and poker industry. Organized by the Women in the Gaming Industry Association, the event will feature a warm reception, fun programming, and an exclusive tournament celebrating female presence in this space.
“We believe in the power of initiatives that promote inclusion and diversity in poker. Hosting AMIG at H2 is always an honor, especially on a night that celebrates female leadership. Poker is for everyone and, beyond the social and entertainment aspects, it helps develop a range of valuable skills,” says Luana Borges, manager of H2 Sports Bar and Poker.
Warm welcome with flavor and purpose
Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed in a light and inviting setting, with a special selection of drinks. The goal is to foster connection and conversation among women who work in – or are curious about – the gaming sector.
Georgia Sanches, Business Development Manager at Sumsub, one of the evening’s sponsors, explains: “At Sumsub, we view diversity as a key driver of innovation, especially in fast-moving industries like iGaming. Promoting female presence in traditionally male-dominated spaces isn’t just about representation, it’s about reshaping the narrative and opening doors to more inclusive participation at all levels.”
Renan Philip, co-founder of 3C Gaming, another major sponsor, adds that supporting the event reflects the company’s broader commitment to diversity in the industry: “Our support is not only about women in poker — it’s about their presence in the entire iGaming industry, which we believe is essential. We come from the male-dominated gaming industry, where the consumer base may be balanced, but the industry isn’t. That needs to change so the market can grow and attract more incredible women like those leading this event.”
