Second leg of the networking-focused iGaming padel series ran in Malta with SiGMA World; next stop is Miami on 9 June.
Blokotech has completed the Malta stage of the Bloko Padel Tour 2026, the company said on Thursday 30th April 2026. The second leg of the series was held in partnership with SiGMA World and hosted at IK Padel Village.
Blokotech said 35 teams competed across Pro and Beginners categories, following the tour’s opening event in Buenos Aires.
Blokotech Co-Founder and CEO Salvatore Messina said: “The response to the Malta stop has been brilliant. Each stage is gathering more interest as we build towards our Grand Linale in Rome. Once again we set the platform for networking and competition that our players loved. We’d like to thank all partners involved in making Malta a success – roll on Miami!”
In the Pro category, Andrea Zammit and Borja Jimenez won, with Peter Curmi and Salvatore Fasciana finishing second. In the Beginners category, Gabriele Sarti and Marco Pozzoli took first place, followed by Viki Vitanyi and Davide Dorato. Craig Luke was named Best Player and received a signed Francesco Totti shirt.

Blokotech, a leading innovator in iGaming software solutions, has officially completed its Gold Plus Sponsor portfolio for the inaugural Bloko Padel Tour 2026, finalising the premium partner lineup ahead of the tour’s international debut.
The milestone reflects strong industry endorsement for the new sport-driven networking concept. Confirmed Gold Plus Sponsors include Clutch, Felina, Scoreconnect, The Power Plugin, and most recently, Belatra Games.
As the final premium sponsor, Belatra Games will benefit from prominent brand exposure throughout the tournament. The company, which operates its Latin American headquarters in Buenos Aires, will receive visibility across official event branding and publications, as well as customised branded padel rackets and exclusive gifts presented to tournament winners.
Launched in collaboration with SiGMA, the Bloko Padel Tour blends competitive sport, high-level networking, and the global iGaming community across four international destinations in 2026. The tour will open in Buenos Aires before heading to Malta, Miami, and concluding with a Grand Finale in Rome during SiGMA World.
The partnership further reinforces the tour’s strong Latin American dimension. Belatra Games’ long-standing presence in the region — anchored by its Buenos Aires headquarters — makes its involvement particularly aligned with the Argentina opening leg.
Blokotech Co-Founder and CEO Salvatore Messina commented:
“We’re delighted to finalise our Gold Plus Sponsor portfolio for the Bloko Padel Tour 2026. The strength and diversity of partners supporting this initiative demonstrates the appetite for meaningful industry connection beyond traditional conference settings. We’re proud to see such strong backing as we prepare to launch in Buenos Aires.”
With its premium sponsor lineup now complete, the Bloko Padel Tour 2026 is positioned to deliver a unique blend of competition, collaboration, and commercial opportunity across key global iGaming hubs.

Blokotech, a leading innovator in iGaming software solutions, has entered a strategic partnership with the Digital division of Key2 Group to expand the international distribution of its StickyPlay suite.
The collaboration comes at a critical moment for the industry. As operators prepare for what many are calling the 2026 “efficiency crisis,” the focus is shifting from aggressive customer acquisition strategies to sustainable, long-term player retention. Rising Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) and declining Lifetime Value (LTV) are pressuring operators to rethink traditional bonus-heavy models.
StickyPlay is positioned as a transformative solution to this challenge. By integrating advanced gamification tools such as Plinko, LuckyWheel, and ScoreKing, the suite enables brands to engage players through interactive entertainment rather than costly promotional incentives. The result: turning marketing spend into immersive gaming experiences that drive loyalty.
A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Bonus Models
Operators are increasingly seeking more sustainable business models. StickyPlay replaces blanket bonus campaigns—often vulnerable to abuse—with a competition-driven and socially engaging rewards system. This shift enhances player experience while delivering measurable financial impact.
Data shows that integrating StickyPlay can generate structural bonus savings of between 8% and 10% of Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), offering operators a powerful margin-protection strategy.
Salvatore Messina, Co-Founder and CEO of Blokotech, commented:
“Integrating StickyPlay aligns with our vision for the future of iGaming—where technology creates a healthier, more engaging, and ultimately more sustainable ecosystem. Millennials and Gen Z players are looking for social validation and fast-paced entertainment. StickyPlay meets these expectations while providing operators with a highly effective onboarding tool and a clear competitive edge through optimized promotional spend.”
Marco Gatti, General Manager of K2, added:
“We are proud to collaborate with Blokotech to introduce StickyPlay to the global market. Today’s operators face a bonus paradox: substantial spending to acquire players who often churn within 48 hours. StickyPlay helps build communities rather than chase short-term traffic. It’s not just about offering games—it’s about defending margins and transforming occasional players into loyal users, significantly reducing reliance on monetary bonuses.”
Redefining Sustainable Growth in iGaming
With acquisition costs climbing and retention becoming the new battleground, the Blokotech and K2 Digital partnership signals a strategic shift for the industry. By combining gamification, community-building, and financial efficiency, StickyPlay is setting a new standard for player engagement and long-term operator profitability.
