Alea, provider of Aggregators

History and origin of ALEA

ALEA is a casino content aggregator headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, with corporate offices at Carrer de Roc Boronat 71, in the city's 22@ district. The company grew from its European base into one of the most awarded aggregators on the B2B circuit, with active operation across Europe, Latin America, Africa and emerging markets, and a fully proprietary technology stack built for operators seeking single integration and centralised catalogue governance.

Casino aggregator with single integration

ALEA's business core is its casino content aggregation platform, connecting operators with more than 175 software providers and a catalogue exceeding 15,000 games through a single API integration. The proposition removes the operational friction of maintaining individual integrations with each studio, with reduced go-live times for new titles and centralised management of certifications per regulated market.

• More than 175 providers integrated through one API
• Catalogue of over 15,000 games across slots, live casino, tables and niche verticals
• iFrame launch keeping players on the operator's page
• Exclusive content with partners such as Spinthon and Felix Gaming
• Recent deals with FAZI (nearly 300 additional games) and AvatarUX
• Support for VR casinos as a complementary vertical

Alea Play, one-stop platform for casinos

Alea Play is the modular platform the company positions as a comprehensive solution for online casino operators. It combines the content aggregator with operational management tools, business intelligence and complementary modules for operators seeking to replace their entire stack or combine it with group components. The approach differentiates from competitors through the weight ALEA places on operator experience and granular catalogue control.

Alea Pay and payments module

Alea Pay, launched at ICE 2025, is the payments module integrated into the company's stack. It operates as a complement to the aggregator for operators that need to process deposits and withdrawals with native integration to the group's PAM or the operator's own. The solution extends the proposition beyond pure content, covering a sensitive part of the online casino operational stack.

Jackpot Engine launched at ICE Barcelona 2026

The most important 2026 launch is the Jackpot Engine, presented during ICE Barcelona 2026. The tool lets operators run multi-level jackpots in real time across any game portfolio, with configurable mechanics and a built-in simulator for modelling jackpot behaviour before launch. This turns jackpots into another commercial layer for the operator, independent of the studio producing the underlying game.

Entry into the sportsbook vertical with FIRST.bet

In September 2026 ALEA announced FIRST.bet as its exclusive sportsbook technology partner, marking the company's formal entry into the sports vertical. The proposition covers full and partial cash-out configurable by sport, league, market or player group, early payout, bet builder with up to 20 selections in the same match, built-in accumulator promotions, odds boosts, proposition markets and high-speed in-play markets for football, tennis and basketball. The choice of a single strategic partner, rather than opening a multi-integration, reflects the ALEA content-curation philosophy.

Technology infrastructure

ALEA's technology stack is built on Java microservices deployed on AWS infrastructure, with 99.95 percent declared uptime. The business intelligence layer runs on Looker with real-time reporting, and player data is centralised across all integrated providers, which facilitates retention campaigns and segmentation cutting across the catalogue. This architecture allows horizontal scaling and updates without downtime.

Licensing and jurisdictions

ALEA operates under two anchor licences that allow it to serve operators across the main international regulated markets.

• Gaming Curaçao Board (GCB), reference licence for global markets
• Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), European licence with mutual recognition
• Specific certifications per game and provider for local regulated markets
• Compliance with LatAm, European, African and emerging market requirements

Operational fit for operators

For operators seeking an awarded aggregator with its own technology stack, a portfolio of more than 15,000 games, robust cloud infrastructure and multi-jurisdictional presence, ALEA delivers one of the segment's most complete propositions. The combination of a casino aggregator with more than 175 providers, Alea Play platform, Alea Pay module, the newly launched Jackpot Engine, sportsbook vertical with FIRST.bet, GCB and MGA licences, and an award CV at SBC, SiGMA, IGA and Affpapa, positions ALEA as an almost mandatory option for operators targeting regulated markets with curated content and centralised governance.
