BGaming event raises over €200,000 in aid of Dar Bjorn
Founder Bjorn Formosa is a former igaming professional
Over €200,000 were raised by BGaming in aid of Dar Bjorn during its second edition of a charity gala held at the Phoenicia.
More than 400 people from across the igaming industry, the local business community, and Maltese society attended the gala.
Dar Bjorn provides care and support for people living with ALS, MS, and other severe neurological conditions.
Founded by former igaming professional Bjorn Formosa following his ALS diagnosis at the age of 28, the organisation now cares for 60 residents while supporting more than 800 people throughout the country.
The funds raised by this year’s event will go directly towards equipping Dar Bjorn’s new respite centre with essential medical care and equipment.
BGaming covered the event’s operating costs so that the entire sum of €200,000 can be donated to the cause.
A special merchandise collection co-created by Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR and residents of DAR Bjorn raised €5,000, extending the gala’s impact beyond a single evening.
The event was supported by NEXT.io, which was an official media partner for the event. MyAffiliates was the event’s golden partner, while 1spin4win, Finteq Hub, Amusnet Gaming and TaDa Gaming were bronze partners. Supporting partners included Flutter International, Alea, SiGMA, Focus Gaming News, The Phoenicia Malta, Booming Games, Internet Vikings, Behind the Gloves, EGT Digital and SWAG42.
