Since its inception in 2018, the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) has become a leading voice in the web3 gaming sector, with a mission to revolutionize the gaming industry with the power of blockchain technology. As a dynamic network of global industry experts, BGA aims to increase awareness, educate, and promote the possibilities of blockchain gaming through collaboration, events and practical information.

With global presence spanning Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific, we are excited to announce our expansion to LATAM alongside our long-time alliance members Mariano Rubinstein, Co-founder and CEO of Sura Gaming, and Martin Spinetto, CEO of Widow Games and Founder of Gamevolution.io, joining us to support Web3 gaming developers across Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions (Latin America, Spain & Portugal).

Headed by Sebastien Borget, President of the Alliance, Co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, and a key figure in the web3 community, BGA is at the forefront of championing the advancement of blockchain gaming technology worldwide.

“The Blockchain Gaming Industry has been rapidly expanding in Latin America, as reflected in the number of members of the Blockchain Game Alliance from this region of the world. Aligned with the BGA’s mission to raise awareness, educate and promote blockchain technology, we are excited to extend our network across LATAM and support developers and professionals within the web3 gaming sector.”

BGA is privileged to work with representatives across these regions who align and share our vision to raise awareness and educate and build exciting Blockchain games, infrastructure, and tooling to enable gaming professionals to easily integrate web3 features into their games.

Extending Our Reach in LATAM
Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) is delighted to collaborate with Alliance members to create the BGA Ibero-Latam team. Headed by Mariano Rubinstein and Martin Spinetto, this team will oversee all BGA activities in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets, including demo days, networking events, matchmaking opportunities, and local language presence at events in Latin America, Spain, and Portugal.

“Having been part of BGA all this time, we understand the powerful reach of networking in this very fledgling industry. Creating the team for Latam, Spain and Portugal and having the honor of being in charge is, on the one hand, a form of gratitude — but on the other, the responsibility of growing the member base and the interaction among all Spanish/Portuguese speakers.”

With several collaborations at past events such as Labitconf, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Campus Party, Punta del Este, Uruguay, Peru Blockchain Conference, Lima, Peru, and Block World Tour, Granada, Spain, this dynamic team will represent the BGA events across the region. Working together to enable the BGA to pursue its mission, reach professionals across the web3 gaming sector, and make a broader impact within this sector to support developers, gamers, and enthusiasts in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets through our representatives and our soon-to-be-launched Ambassador program.

Flavien Defraire, Director of Global Development of Blockchain Game Alliance commented:
“We are thrilled to be launching our Ibero-Latam team and to have Mariano Rubinstein and Martin Spinetto leading the charge. This new activity in LATAM highlights our organization’s commitment to creating meaningful events and fostering collaboration among Blockchain Gaming professionals worldwide. We believe that this new chapter will provide exciting opportunities for our members in the region and help drive the growth and development of the Blockchain Gaming industry as a whole.”
