SiGMA Exclusive: Why Malta is One of the Most Attractive Locations for Poker Series

At the end of May, the SiGMA Poker Tour (SPT) took place in Malta for the second time. Ahead of the event, PokerListings had an exclusive conversation with the organizers to explore why the brand chose this Mediterranean island. This article shares those exclusive insights.

Why SiGMA Poker Tour Favors Malta

SPT Business and Operations Manager Ivonne Montealegre explained that Malta has become an important 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 is why Malta was the perfect choice for SPT. Events 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 further elaborated on this philosophy:

"Through the EvenBet Gaming Malta Freeroll, we created an event that truly gives back to the Maltese gaming community. It brings players together, sparks enthusiasm, and supports the further development of the local poker scene. Partnerships like the one with EvenBet are essential for connecting the community and keeping players updated on the latest industry developments."
