BGaming Announces That Its Annual Charity Gala Is Returning to Malta

(AsiaGameHub) –   Following the €200,000 raised at the 2025 event, this second iteration of the gala seeks to raise funds for critical medical equipment and resident rooms for DAR Bjorn in Malta

Well-known iGaming content provider BGaming has announced the return of its annual Charity Gala, scheduled to take place on 29 May 2026 at The Phoenicia Hotel in Malta.

Now entering its second year, the event upholds BGaming’s ongoing commitment to supporting DAR Bjorn, Malta’s specialized neurological care home, which delivers care and essential therapies for people living with ALS, MS, and other severe neurological conditions.

After the successful inaugural Gala that raised €200,000 and helped fund the construction of DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre, the 2026 edition aims to build on this positive momentum and deliver an even greater impact.

This year, all raised funds will go directly to outfitting the new Respite Centre with specialized medical and care supplies, including ventilators, motorized beds, air mattresses, patient hoist lifters, and oxygen concentrators, as well as covering the costs of four resident rooms to support new admissions. Every euro donated will be allocated straight to DAR Bjorn, as all event production costs are covered separately by BGaming.

Founded by Bjorn Formosa, a former iGaming professional who was diagnosed with ALS at only 28 years old, DAR Bjorn currently provides care for roughly 60 residents across two centres, while offering support to nearly 800 more people in the local community. As demand for its services continues to rise, the new Respite Centre marks a critical expansion of its capacity to deliver dignified, compassionate care.

The gala evening will be held at the Bastion Pool area of The Phoenicia Hotel in Malta, and will bring together iGaming industry leaders, local business figures, and philanthropists for an invitation-only night of entertainment and charitable giving. Hosted by Joseph Chetcuti and run in partnership with official media partner Next.io, the event will feature live music from Versatile, an art performance and auction by internationally renowned artists L7Matrix and Gonçalo MAR, an exclusive charity raffle, and a range of other activities.

BGaming extends its thanks to the companies that have already pledged their support for the 2026 edition. Supporting partners include Flutter, Alea, and SiGMA, with MyAffiliates joining as a Silver Partner, and Amusnet Gaming, 1spin4win, and Finteq Hub participating as Bronze Partners.

Marina Ostrovtsova, Chief Executive Officer at BGaming, said: “Last year’s Gala showed us what we can achieve when our industry comes together around a shared goal. Raising €200,000 in a single evening was an exceptional achievement that delivered real, tangible support to the most vulnerable people at DAR Bjorn.

“We are incredibly proud to bring the gala back for a second year with even more ambitious targets. The funds we raise this year will go towards equipment that directly improves residents’ quality of life. For people living with serious neurological conditions, these donations are the difference between comfort and hardship, and we hope both the iGaming community and the wider Maltese public will stand with us once again.”
