Leading sportsbook platform provider Altenar on June 12 celebrated the opening of its new office in Malta with a party attended by a large number of the island’s gaming professionals.

The event featured a jazz band and was catered by restaurant Ali Baba.

Altenar’s relocation to the Pendergardens Business Centre from its previous office in Sliema became necessary due to the company’s outstanding growth over the past few years.

Its headcount has risen from just 26 employees in 2016 to more than 100 today across its three locations in Malta, Greece and Russia.

Altenar has also doubled its revenues each year from 2016 to 2018, and already 2019 has seen a number of exciting launches for the company. These include its first regulated Swedish client launch with Lucky Casino in May, as well as its entry into Romania with Red Sevens in January.

Domenico Mazzola, Commercial Director at Altenar, said: “We are very proud of our phenomenal success over the past few years and look forward to expanding further in future. Our new office in Malta gives us space to continue to grow and we will shortly start the hiring process to ensure we have the right people to help us do so.

“This year has seen a number of exciting developments for Altenar and we have a number of new launches coming up imminently.”

A charity which supports breast cancer patients has been given a 5,000 euro donation by performance marketing company Blexr.

The Action for Breast Cancer Foundation assists people around Malta who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, providing equipment such as mastectomy bras as well as support through psychological counselling.

Blexr, which is based in Malta and has recently opened an office in Barcelona, provides lead generation for clients operating in iGaming, forex and sportsbook. It employs more than 70 people, both Maltese and those from overseas.

Its donation is part of the company’s ongoing support for charitable causes.

The foundation’s chairperson Esther Sant said: “We would like to thank Blexr for this kind donation that we really, really appreciate.

“The funding will help us immensely in our own assistance that we give to people dealing with breast cancer. We help them through education, advice on prevention and assisting those going through their own breast cancer journey.”

Tonia Symington, Blexr’s chief people officer said: “We believe it’s important to support the Action for Breast Cancer foundation as it’s run entirely by volunteers and delivers an immense service and support mechanism to the community.

“As a company in Malta, we want to give something back to the community in a valuable way.

“Blexr is filled with people who care, about each other and our society. We’re determined to harness our power to make a difference to the communities in which we live and work.”
