Blokotech, a leading iGaming software company, has joined forces with SiGMA to launch the Bloko Padel Tour.
The project is a new international circuit that blends sport, networking, and the gaming industry community.
Where will it happen
The tour will visit four destinations in 2026: it begins in Buenos Aires, continues to Malta and Miami, and concludes with the Grand Final in Rome during SiGMA World.
Therefore, the idea behind the venues is part of a business strategy. Each event takes place during the same week as major industry events, such as SAGSE and SBC Miami, combining business and leisure.
How will it work
Starting next month, the tournaments will follow a standard format: a minimum of 24 pairs, divided into Beginner and Advanced categories, with prizes for first and second place in each level.
In addition to the games, the event promises a high-class atmosphere with music, a buffet, and photo and video coverage.
The path to the final in Rome will depend on a ranking system.
Those who play in the previous stages accumulate points, and the best pairs secure their place in the final. Additionally, extra spots will also be available through open registration.
The awards ceremony for the final in Rome will be a major highlight. The winners of the Advanced category will take home an IWC watch, while the champions of the Beginner category will win an Apple Watch Ultra Pro.
In addition, the runners-up will receive professional padel kits and tickets to the Padel World Tour as prizes.

- Malta: April 28 (10am to 4pm)
