Groove Shines at ICE Barcelona 2026 as the Go-To Growth Partner for iGaming Operators
Groove, the award-winning iGaming platform and aggregator, has emerged from ICE Barcelona 2026 as the definitive growth partner for ambitious operators in 2026.
The event marked a milestone for the brand, generating high-value partnerships and demonstrating strong market demand for an integrated, scalable, and commercially strategic platform.
Over the three-day summit, Groove positioned itself at the heart of strategic conversations with operators and providers seeking solutions for sustainable growth, market diversification, and deeper player engagement. With an unprecedented volume of meetings, a clear trend emerged: operators are moving beyond basic content access, seeking a collaborative, technology-driven partner to navigate global expansion.
“The energy and focus at ICE 2026 validated our core why: aggregation has evolved into a strategic growth discipline,” said Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and COO of Groove.
“Operators aren’t coming to us just for games—they are looking for a roadmap. They want a partner who can provide content, technology frameworks, and commercial tools, like Instant Tournaments, as a seamless growth engine. In a fragmented market, Groove’s integrated approach is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity for serious operators in 2026.”
Groove’s Strategic Edge: Global Content and Localized Growth
Groove’s unique ability to act as a single conduit for global content and localized strategy was a central theme at ICE. The platform’s agility enables operators to thrive in established regulated markets while tapping into high-potential verticals such as Sweepstakes and Crypto gaming. This differentiation empowers operators to diversify portfolios, increase revenue, and streamline operational efficiency.
“We engaged with operators who have concrete 2026 plans, from new entries in Latin America to strategic European expansions,” explained Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove.
“My role is to translate platform capabilities into commercial velocity. At ICE, we moved decisively from concept to pipeline execution. The market recognizes Groove as a partner that delivers with precision.”
Partnerships and Collaboration: Driving Innovation
Groove strengthened its global network by connecting with game studios and exploring exclusive content and technical collaborations designed to deliver innovative gaming experiences faster.
“ICE is ultimately about partnership in its truest sense,” said Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove.
“The quality of dialogue with existing and potential partners was exceptional, covering hyper-localized game curation, tournament tools, and strategies for player retention. Groove’s model of acting as an extension of our partners’ teams—providing tools and strategic insight—is exactly what the market needs now.”
Looking Ahead: Defining Growth for 2026
Groove exits ICE Barcelona 2026 not merely as a platform provider, but as the go-to growth partner for the iGaming industry. With a fortified pipeline, strategic market mandate, and a focus on turning aggregation into accelerated growth, Groove is set to define the iGaming landscape in 2026, helping operators expand globally and engage players meaningfully.
