Saving Millions with Security-First Aggregation

What does a security-first approach to games aggregation look like in practice? What role does a single, streamlined API play in accelerating time to market? 

In this episode of Connected with Pragmatic Solutions, our CEO Ashley Lang speaks with Alexandre Tomic, founder of Alea. The conversation explores how Alea focuses on delivering secure, API-driven game distribution that empowers operators to move faster, simplify compliance, and scale intelligently.

Aggregation that protects revenue through simplicity and security 

Alea’s aggregation model stands out for its focus on security and simplicity. Rather than building a full-service platform, Alea delivers an API-first distribution layer that is purpose-built for performance, reliability, and compliance. Alexandre explains how this clear, modular approach keeps the tech stack lean, enabling operators to integrate hundreds of game providers without unnecessary complexity or exposure to risk. 

This streamlined delivery model translates directly into commercial value - minimising downtime, reducing technical failures, and accelerating time to market. With security baked-in, operators can avoid costly disruptions, stay aligned with regulatory requirements, and protect revenue as they scale across new and existing markets. 

Powerful distribution through platform integration 

Alea’s integration with the Pragmatic Solutions Player Account Management (PAM) platform creates a powerful synergy for operators. By embedding Alea’s secure, API-driven aggregation directly into the PAM ecosystem, operators gain faster access to a vast portfolio of content with reduced operational complexity. This plug-and-play approach not only simplifies the onboarding of new studios but also streamlines reporting, compliance, and game configuration within a centralised back office. 

For operators seeking to scale efficiently across regulated markets, this seamless integration eliminates the need for costly custom development - delivering speed, stability, and scalability through a single, trusted connection. 

A partner-first mindset driving long-term success 

Whether working with operators or studios, Alea believes in building relationships rooted in transparency and mutual benefit. Alexandre describes how a recent operator was able to accelerate market entry and reduce operational risk by integrating Alea’s secure aggregation layer - cutting launch time and avoiding compliance delays that could have cost millions. 

It is this kind of partnership-oriented thinking that defines Alea’s value proposition: enabling stakeholders to move faster, scale smarter, and stay protected in a complex regulatory environment. 

5 key takeaways: 

• Alea’s aggregation model avoids platform complexity, focusing on secure, API-first content delivery.

• Operators benefit from faster time to market, simplified compliance, and reduced integration risk.

• Innovation is focused and purposeful - built to solve real problems for players and partners.

• A lean strategy enables high agility and sharper execution. 

• Partner-first thinking underpins long-term success for both operators and content providers.
