Everyone has an opinion on sweepstakes. Very few have the data. This one has both.

At NEXT Summit Valletta 2026, Alexandre Tomic, Founder and CEO of Alea, puts the U.S. sweepstakes vertical under one lens: 16 months of proprietary aggregator data, 1.76 billion rounds, €2.24 billion in bet volume, across 61 studios. It's a behavioural read of the market you won't get anywhere else, and the numbers challenge a lot of what the industry assumes.

If you're building in sweepstakes, sitting adjacent to it, or still deciding whether to enter, this is the session to watch.

Session presented by Alea.
