Alea, the award-winning casino game aggregator, reached a new milestone in 2022 after being named Aggregator of the Year at SiGMA Europe 2022 — one of the most prestigious events in the iGaming calendar. This recognition confirms Alea’s leading role in redefining aggregation standards and delivering seamless content solutions across Europe.
Held in Malta, SiGMA Europe 2022 gathered over 25,000 industry professionals, operators, and innovators under one roof — a long way from its humble beginnings with just 1,000 attendees in 2014.
Winning such a prestigious award at an event of this scale is not just a trophy for Alea; it’s a celebration of the people behind the platform and the relationships that have shaped its evolution.
