Alea is returning to NEXT.io Valletta from May 26th to 28th, with Founder Alexandre Tomic taking part in several sessions focused on leadership, regulation, and the future direction of the iGaming industry.

The week begins on May 26th during NEXT Focus: Start-Up & Investor Day, where Alexandre will join the panel “Founders Anonymous – The Conversations That Don’t Make the Press Release.” The discussion will focus on the realities behind building companies, from fundraising and acquisitions to the difficult decisions founders face as businesses grow.

On May 27th, Alexandre will also moderate “The Day the Lights Go Out,” an interactive keynote built around a simulated regulatory crisis scenario, challenging industry leaders to react live to the sudden shutdown of major markets.

Later that day, he will present “The World Under One Lens,” a keynote exploring how behavioural data at an aggregator scale is reshaping the industry’s understanding of player behaviour, game performance, and global market trends.

Beyond the conference stage

Alongside the conference agenda, Alea will once again sponsor the Ice Bath & Yoga/Breathwork session on the morning of May 26th, led by world-record open water swimmer Neil Agius.

The session has become one of the more unique traditions surrounding the event week, giving attendees a slower start before the pace of the conference takes over.

That same evening, Alea and NEXT.io will host an exclusive CXO dinner at Contessa Restaurant inside The Phoenicia Malta, where selected industry leaders will meet for an evening of conversation, vegetarian dining, cocktails, and live music ahead of the conference opening.

Supporting the Malta community

To close the week, Alea will also attend the BGaming Charity Gala on May 29th in support of DAR Bjorn, the Maltese neurological home founded by ALS advocate Bjorn FormMosa.

“I came to the DAR Bjorn gala last year not knowing very much about Bjorn or the foundation. And then I saw him there, in his bed, while we were all standing on our two legs having a good time. That changes you.

You can’t unsee it. We take so much for granted, the body working, getting up in the morning, walking across the room. Bjorn is fighting for all of that and still showing up. I’m coming back because I believe I have to. If you’re in Malta that week and you’re on the fence, come. There’s something about that room that stays with you,” said Alexandre Tomic, Founder of Alea.

Representing Alea in Malta will be Alexandre Tomic alongside members of the company’s Business Development, Partnerships, Account Management, and Marketing teams.

NEXT Focus: Start-Up & Investor Day – May 26

Alea, a leading iGaming aggregator, is sponsoring the second edition of the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy, a golf tournament bringing together iGaming executives at the Royal Malta Golf Club on May 11 and 12.

Alea, the leading casino iGaming aggregator, is sponsoring the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy, taking place on May 11–12 at the Royal Malta Golf Club.

Now in its second edition, the tournament continues to establish itself as a meeting point for the global iGaming industry.

It brings together competition, partnership, and shared experiences in a setting that extends beyond traditional events.

40 players, six countries, Ryder Cup format

Players from Malta, the UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Dubai, and Canada will take part in a Ryder Cup-style format, with 40 golfers split into two teams competing across singles and doubles matches.

Team Malta, sponsored by ALL IN Platform in association with Alea, returns to defend its title following a tightly contested win in 2025, while Team Shivers, backed by Presidio, looks to reclaim the trophy.

For Alea, sponsoring the tournament with their long-term partner ALL IN Platform, reflects their ongoing effort to reinforce relationships in environments where competition and collaboration naturally intersect.

It’s a format that brings partners together in a more personal manner while still holding onto the competitive edge that defines the industry.

Alongside the tournament, an exclusive iGaming networking event will take place on the evening of May 11, gathering more than 80 industry professionals.

While golf drives the competition, the broader value of the event lies in the relationships it creates and strengthens.

“After the success at Loch Lomond 2025, we wanted to bring that same spirit of partnership to Malta with the ALL IN Platform team.

Excellence is a shared standard for us, both in business and on the green, and the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy is the perfect stage to lean into that.

We value the connection of bringing together people who share a sense of precision and purpose.

It’s the ideal moment to celebrate our partners and the journey we’re on together.” — Ramon Glieneke, COO at Alea

“Partnering with Alea on the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy reflects exactly how we believe business relationships should evolve—through shared experiences, trust, and a healthy sense of competition.

Alea has been a natural partner for us, aligned in both vision and execution, and this event is a great example of how we can bring the industry together in a way that feels both meaningful and memorable.

It’s not just about the tournament—it’s about strengthening the connections that drive long-term success.” John Foster , CCO at ALL IN Platform

Set just outside Valletta, the Royal Malta Golf Club is one of the oldest in Europe and provides a course that blends history with a layout that rewards consistency and precision.

It’s a setting that mirrors the nature of the event itself: competitive, focused, and built around performance.

As the tournament returns to Malta, the 2026 edition builds on last year’s momentum, bringing renewed rivalries and a growing international presence as the event continues to establish itself as a distinctive fixture within the iGaming calendar.

Alea is a leading iGaming aggregator, offering a customizable platform that provides operators worldwide with seamless access to over 17,000 games from 170+ top-tier providers through a single API integration.

Alea is highly committed to a security-first infrastructure, ensuring reliability and trust at every level.

Alea, the leading aggregator with the largest portfolio of certified games in Brazil, is returning to SiGMA South America 2026, held from April 7–10 in São Paulo, as the country’s regulated landscape continues to settle into a more structured and competitive phase.

After the initial excitement of market entry, operators are now focusing on the everyday realities of running in a formalized environment: keeping systems stable, ensuring games and platforms are certified, and meeting the expectations of a maturing player base. The conversation has shifted from launch milestones toward long-term growth and sustainable operations.

Alea CEO Jordi Sendra is attending the event alongside teams from partnerships, account management, business development, and marketing. The group will be based at Booth N145 throughout the week, meeting with operators and studios to discuss ongoing projects and the practical challenges they are facing in Brazil.

Bridging the Gap: The Future of Land-Based and Digital Gaming

On Wednesday, 8 April at 12:45, Jordi Sendra will join the panel “Physical or Digital? Between Boundaries and Convergences in the Casino Industry.” Alongside representatives from ANCASSINOS, Sportradar, Zitro Digital, Amusnet, and Maia Yoshiyasu Advogados, the session explores how operators can stay competitive as the lines between land-based and online gaming continue to blur.

Oxygen Bar and Award Recognition

Alea will once again host its signature oxygen bar on the exhibition floor, offering a space to recharge and have focused conversations. The event also marks a milestone for the company, as Alea is shortlisted for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA South America Awards on 6 April.

“Being nominated in Brazil this year carries a lot of weight for us,” says Jordi Sendra. “The market has raised the bar for everyone. It’s pushed us to be more disciplined, more present, and more focused on what the local player actually needs. For our team, this is a great recognition of the miles we’ve put in on the ground and the relationships we’ve built with our partners across the region.”

Supporting Growth in a Maturing Landscape

Between the panel session and the meetings at the booth, the week is centered on providing the practical guidance and technical support that operators now need to grow with confidence. As the aggregator with the largest portfolio of certified games and game providers in the territory, Alea’s focus remains on helping its partners navigate the complexities of a more structured environment, ensuring both studios and operators stay competitive as the landscape continues to mature.

Alea is set to take a leading role in São Paulo as the Headline Partner for NEXT.io Focus Brazil, returning for a second straight year to one of the most important gatherings in the country’s regulated iGaming calendar.

The invite-only event takes place on Monday, 6 April at Palacio Tangará and brings together around 100 senior industry decision-makers to examine how Brazil’s market is evolving beyond its launch phase.

The agenda will center on the market’s new reality, including changing player behavior, regulatory maturity, and the long-term sustainability of Brazil’s iGaming sector. Alea CEO Jordi Sendra will open the afternoon by joining the panel “Brazil 2026: The New Reality of Regulated Gambling,” where leaders from TQJ Bet, Esportes, and Stake Brazil will discuss how operators can stay competitive in a more structured environment.

Alea says its renewed partnership reflects the company’s growing commitment to Brazil and its deeper local presence. Over the past year, the company has invested in building a stronger on-the-ground structure to support partners across the market, with Sendra describing Brazil as a fast-changing but increasingly organized industry where open dialogue remains valuable.

The São Paulo appearance also connects directly to Alea’s wider South American push. After NEXT.io Focus Brazil, the team is shortlisted for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA South America Awards, before continuing discussions at SiGMA South America from 7–10 April at Booth N145, where the company will showcase its localized portfolio and technical support for operators navigating Brazil’s evolving market.
