Why the SiGMA Poker Tour Loves Malta
SPT Business and Operations Manager Ivonne Montealegre said that Malta has become a major hub for poker and iGaming brands for multiple reasons:
"Malta has a very special energy in the poker and iGaming space. It is one of the few places in the world where business, socializing, entertainment, and community naturally come together. That makes Malta a perfect fit for the SPT. Activities and partnerships, like our collaboration with EvenBet, play a key role because they connect and grow the community, building anticipation for upcoming projects. We want players to see each event not just as a poker tournament, but as an experience, a celebration, and an opportunity to unite the industry."
Montealegre elaborated further on this philosophy:
"Through the EvenBet Gaming Malta Freeroll, we created an event that truly gives back to Malta’s gaming community. It brings players together, sparks excitement, and supports the further development of the local poker scene. Partnerships like the one with EvenBet are vital to connecting the community and keeping players informed about the latest industry developments."
