The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has recently established a data-sharing agreement with the International Cricket Council (ICC). The ICC is the international governing body of cricket and is made up of over 100 national governing bodies from around the world. The ICC governs and administrates the sport, stages ICC global events, oversees playing regulations and through the Integrity Unit coordinates action against corruption and match fixing. This agreement will facilitate the sharing of information between the two parties, in fulfilment of the requirements at law.

The MGA’s Sports Integrity Manager, Antonio Zerafa stated that, “This data sharing agreement with the ICC represents the Authority’s on-going commitment of combatting match-fixing and other types of manipulation in sports. In fact, this agreement will allow the MGA and the ICC to share crucial data related to the process of detecting, preventing and investigating activities related to manipulation of sports competitions.”

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.

Known for its innovative technology, Alea simplifies the integration journey and delivers a flexible, scalable solution designed to enhance game variety, player experience, and operational efficiency.

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

In 2024, the company strengthened its cybersecurity framework through a strategic partnership with Continent 8 and achieved VAPT certification.
