The SiGMA Poker Tour (SPT) returns to Malta from 27 May to 01 June 2026, bringing together operators, affiliates, suppliers, and regulators for a week of premium poker competition and networking. As part of this year’s Special Edition, SPT is proud to announce the EvenBet Gaming Malta Freeroll, scheduled for Thursday, 28 May 2026. This exclusive event will gather 100 invited participants, offering a guaranteed prize pool of €10,000 and setting the stage for a premier poker experience in the heart of Malta’s gaming scene.
Scheduled for the evening following the SiGMA Awards, the EvenBet Gaming Malta Freeroll promises to deliver both competition and camaraderie. Participants can expect an invite-only format designed to highlight skill, strategy, and engagement. Attendees will enjoy welcome drinks and nibbles, creating a relaxed environment to complement high-level gameplay. The collaboration between SPT and EvenBet Gaming underscores the ongoing commitment to bringing quality live poker experiences to the European market.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming and featured in last year’s SiGMA Magazine Issue 34, commented: “We are thrilled to bring the unique energy of an EvenBet Gaming poker tournament to Malta this year. Our live events are more than just competitions. They are a tribute to the global poker community and a platform to support skill-based game enthusiasts. By fostering genuine engagement and high-level networking, we provide the perfect stage to showcase why our solutions remain the industry gold standard.”

Partnering with a brand like EvenBet Gaming ensures a high standard of integrity and innovation while fostering meaningful industry engagement.”
The tournament complements the wider SPT initiative, which aims to unite industry leaders across multiple verticals, celebrating both innovation and excellence. Montealegre, in attendance as the Master of Ceremonies of the event, also emphasised the community aspect: “Poker naturally brings people together. Beyond the competition, it encourages conversation, builds long-lasting relationships, and creates a premium live experience for players and operators alike.”
Hosting the event at Portomaso Casino, one of Europe’s premier five-star poker venues and widely regarded as the home of poker in Malta, underscores the quality and prestige of the collaboration. Participants can enjoy a professional environment designed to reward skill and strategy, reflecting the tour’s commitment to elevating the standard of live poker.
