Catalogue, tools and how to compare aggregators
Alea is a game aggregator based in Barcelona, founded by Alexandre Tomic and Charlotte Lecompte. Day to day it is run by CEO Jordi Sendra, with Ramon Glieneke as COO and Eduard Fumàs as CTO. The basic idea is the one behind every aggregator: one API instead of hundreds of separate studio integrations and contracts. Alea's catalogue is among the larger ones, with more than 20,000 games from 170+ providers.
What sits on top of the catalogue
Content access is the commodity part. Alea's own layer is where it competes:
- player engagement tools and exclusive content deals;
- real-time analytics and business intelligence;
- Alea Pay, its own payment gateway;
- a jackpot engine launched at ICE Barcelona 2026, designed to let operators run jackpots across their game portfolio with their own rules.
Infrastructure and security
The platform runs on AWS with a microservices architecture and a stated uptime of 99.95 percent. In 2024 Alea strengthened its security set-up through a partnership with Continent 8, and it holds VAPT certification for vulnerability and penetration testing.
Reputation in the trade
Alea won Best Aggregator at SiGMA Europe 2024, adding to earlier regional aggregator awards. For 2026 it was shortlisted at the International Gaming Awards for Game Aggregator of the Year, Innovator of the Year and a Great Place to Work award, and at the European Gaming Awards as Most Innovative Supplier.
How to compare aggregators
The headline number of games matters less than three other things:
Certified content per market. An aggregator can list 20,000 titles and still offer only a fraction of them in a newly regulated country. Ask for the certified list per jurisdiction you hold, not the global catalogue.
Pass-through terms on top studios. The most popular studios often reach operators at a different rate than the long tail. Compare what you would pay for the ten titles that will drive most of your revenue.
Tools you will actually use. Jackpots, tournaments and analytics are valuable if they replace something you would otherwise buy. If your platform already does them, they are a nice extra rather than a reason to choose.
An operator entering several regulated markets at once is the natural Alea customer. A brand focused on a single market should check that the aggregator's certified coverage there is as strong as its global numbers suggest.
