Blokotech, a pioneer of innovations in iGaming software, has revealed their Blokotech Padel Tour, which is essentially an international sporting circuit that combines padel, networking, and the global iGaming community, with the backing of SiGMA.
The Blokotech Padel Tour 2026 is set to hop four international locations. The tour kicks off in Buenos Aires, then to Malta and Miami, and finally culminates in Rome where the Grand Finale will take place during SiGMA World. Each part of the tour is aligned with major iGaming events, such as SAGSE, SBC Miami, and SiGMA World, thus highlighting the Tours exceptional combination of sport, networking, and community.
From the following month, each tournament will operate with a similar format that will feature at least 24 pairs of players divided into two divisions: Beginners and Advanced. The pairs that secure both the first and second places in each division will be given trophies, and at each occasion, there will be a fusion of live music, variety of food, and onsite filming and photography, hence, the players and guests will be enjoying a luxurious, social environment.
All the parts come together for an electrifying Grand Finale in Rome that will be using a ranking, based qualification system. The players who take part in the earlier stages of the tour will be granted points not only for their participation but also for their performance, and the top, ranked pairs will be able to enter the final. Besides, there will be a couple of spots for those coming through open registration.
The biggest trophies will be given out at the grand Rome finale where Advanced first, place winners will be gifted an Omega Speedmaster or IWC watch, Beginners champions will be able to keep an Apple Watch Ultra Pro, and the second, place finishers in both divisions will be given professional padel kits together with Padel World Tour event tickets.
