Timeless Tech continued its investment in community-driven iGaming experiences with the third edition of the Timeless Passion Padel Tournament, held in Lisbon on 28 September 2026.
With almost 50 teams and even more guests joining the event at RacketsPro EUL, the Lisbon tournament became the largest Timeless Passion padel edition organized so far.
Held ahead of SBC Summit Lisbon, the tournament brought together professionals from across the iGaming ecosystem for a full day built around competitive sport, networking and genuine interaction outside the traditional business environment.
Following previous editions in Barcelona and Malta, Lisbon demonstrated how the Timeless Passion concept has evolved from an individual sports event into a recurring community platform around key dates in the iGaming calendar.
Building Relationships Beyond the Meeting Schedule
Industry events create enormous value through meetings, product discussions and commercial conversations.
They also create very full calendars.
Timeless Passion was developed around a simple idea: some of the strongest industry relationships are built when people have the opportunity to interact outside a formal meeting structure.
Padel provides exactly that environment.
Players representing different companies and areas of the industry meet on equal ground, while guests, partners and colleagues interact naturally around the tournament.
In Lisbon, that translated into almost 50 teams on court, continuous activity throughout the day and a networking environment extending across the courts, lounge area, DJ setup and hospitality spaces.
The objective was not to replace traditional industry networking, but to complement it with something more human.
The Largest Timeless Passion Tournament So Far
The Lisbon edition represented a significant step up in scale.
Players progressed from the group stage through knockout matches, semi-finals and the final, while guests followed the tournament and connected throughout the venue.
Music, food and drinks ran alongside the sporting programme, helping maintain the social character of the event from the first matches through to the closing ceremony.
Professional photo and video coverage captured both sides of the experience: the competition itself and the conversations happening around it.
The result was a full-day iGaming community event rather than simply a tournament.
Winners Take Home the Biggest Prize Pool Yet
The Lisbon champions received two individual one-week experiences at M3 Padel Academy in Madrid.
Each winner will be able to select their preferred academy week, giving them the opportunity to continue their padel development beyond the tournament itself.
Second-place finishers each received a Lamborghini Special Edition padel racket.
The tournament concluded with trophies and the official prize presentation.
Players and guests also had another opportunity to win during the event through a raffle for a signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey, with the winner selected around the closing ceremony.
Collaboration Behind the Event
The Lisbon tournament was powered by Timeless Passion and supported by co-sponsors Endorphina, BEON and Amigo Gaming.
For Timeless Tech, this partner model is an important part of the event.
Rather than treating sponsorship purely as logo placement, Timeless Passion creates a shared environment in which brands participate in an experience alongside the same community they work with throughout the year.
Branding across the venue, courts and event materials provided visibility, but the greater value came from participation itself.
Partners, clients and industry contacts shared the same courts, lounge areas and conversations throughout the day.
That reflects the broader philosophy behind Timeless Tech’s community initiatives: meaningful B2B relationships are built over time and through repeated shared experiences.
From Barcelona to Malta to Lisbon
The growth of the Timeless Passion Padel Tournament reflects the response the initiative has received from the iGaming community.
The first edition in Barcelona established the format.
Malta expanded it.
Lisbon became the biggest edition yet.
Each tournament has provided new insight into how sports-led experiences can complement major industry gatherings and create additional opportunities for relationship building.
For Timeless Tech, the success of Lisbon is therefore measured by more than attendance alone.
Almost 50 teams is a strong number.
But the more important result is the number of people who spent the day meeting, competing, reconnecting and getting to know each other outside their usual professional roles.
From Lisbon to Barcelona
Lisbon may have marked the biggest Timeless Passion tournament so far, but work on the next edition has already begun.
Timeless Tech is currently preparing the return of the Timeless Passion Padel Tournament to Barcelona, planned around ICE Barcelona 2027.
Building on the experience gained across Barcelona, Malta and Lisbon, the next edition will continue developing the format as a sports-led networking platform for the international iGaming community.
A major thank you goes to Endorphina, BEON and Amigo Gaming, and to every player, guest and team member who contributed to making Lisbon the largest edition so far.
Heading to ICE Barcelona 2027? Stay tuned. The next Timeless Passion Padel Tournament is already in the works.
