iGaming 3.0: Trueplay outlines the future at ICE2023
Trueplay takes part and is available for meetings at the ICE London 2023 on 7-9 February
The online gaming industry has been changing rapidly in recent years, with many new players entering the market and existing operators fighting for customers. ICE London is the world’s largest gaming show, where all the latest innovations in the iGaming industry are announced. And Trueplay has something to bring to the table. By tokenizing gaming businesses, Trueplay not only helps reach higher metrics but changes the industry.
Why iGaming needs tokenization
Blockchain is fundamentally changing how industries operate by introducing trustless and tamperproof smart contracts. At its core, the technology is an immutable ledger that tracks transactions without the need for a centralized authority, eliminating the possibility of tampering with data after it has been recorded. It makes blockchain attractive for iGaming operators looking for ways to increase consumer trust in their betting brands.
Tokenization can attract players through loyalty programs and rewards, retain them with exclusive experiences, and even convert them into gamblers willing to pay more than they normally would for something that’s not worth as much as its face value. Furthermore, tokenization converts a traditional asset into a digital token, making it possible to trade an asset on distributed ledgers. It allows casinos to get ahead of their competitors while enjoying the benefits of tokenization themselves.
Trueplay bridges the gap between emerging smart contract technology and traditional online casinos with its gamified mechanics from the crypto world called Play to Earn and Hold to Earn. By putting such Tokenized Loyalty Programs in place, the company helps bring casinos into the blockchain era and reap the harvest first.
“Evolution of all online industries to Web 3 is inevitable, and iGaming is no exclusion. The concept of iGaming 3.0 takes the industry step further and helps you prepare for what’s to come. Tokenization is one of the latest technological breakthroughs that can help casinos stay competitive as they adapt to an increasingly difficult environment. And Trueplay is here for them to put a safety layer between Web 2 and Web 3 models,” says Alex Antsyferov, CBO at Trueplay.
The know-how of Trueplay
Trueplay provides two tokenized loyalty programs: Play to Earn and Hold to Earn. The Play to Earn program rewards players for playing on the casino’s website. Players earn branded tokens, which they can bet again. The Hold to Earn program rewards players for holding their tokens for a while and makes them return to the platform to get the earned.
The advantages for businesses include but are not limited to a loyal audience, higher GGR, retention, etc. As an operator, you can expect to see the following benefits after implementing Trueplay Loyalty Programs:
- Up to 5.2 times higher retention rate within six months. Players using Trueplay are more likely to play again after leaving the casino than those not using it, so your churn rate will drop significantly with this new technology in place.
- 148% higher traffic ROI and 67.4% higher ARPPU. Trueplay increases the number of players who make more bets on your platform. You’ll have more loyal customers who enjoy their experience and stick around longer.
- Better security for both sides of the equation. For operators and gamers, no personal data is required or shared through this process.
- Easy integration and a single set-up fee. Trueplay allows to tokenize any operating casino without extensive technical work.
- Full support. The Trueplay specialists developed a marketing strategy to make your users tune in to new opportunities.
Trueplay is constantly improving the product for casino operators and owners to make the most of it. The team will present all the updates and new features coming this year at ICE London 2023, which takes place at ExCeL London, February 7-9. The Trueplay stand is S9-360.

Alea sponsors the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy as iGaming Leaders Return to the Golf Course
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.
