Tom Horn Gaming is excited to be the Grand Sponsor of the upcoming Hipther Prague Summit 2026, strengthening its enduring collaboration with event organizer HIPTHER and maintaining a tradition that has become essential to the company’s yearly industry schedule.
Hosted in the historic city of Prague, the 10th anniversary edition of the summit features the theme “Decoding the Future: 10 Years of Impact.” The gathering will unite over 400 participants and over 100 presenters from 35 nations, establishing a lively forum for exploring the newest advancements influencing gaming, AI, fintech, and emerging technologies.
Throughout the years, Tom Horn Gaming has developed a strong bond with HIPTHER and its community, backing the summit as it transformed into one of Central Europe’s key events for the gaming and technology industries. Once again serving as Grand Sponsor demonstrates the company’s dedication to significant industry conversation, sharing knowledge, and fostering collaboration.
The 2026 version assures an exceptionally diverse lineup. Participants will be able to explore three concurrent content tracks, providing in-depth insights into industry trends, regulatory changes, innovations, and market opportunities. Enhancing the conference schedule is the HIPTHER Academy, offering extra educational chances and expert perspectives for professionals keen to remain at the forefront.
In conjunction with the conference, the summit will feature the renowned GamingTECH CEE Awards ceremony, honoring outstanding achievements in the region’s iGaming industry. Tom Horn Gaming has been nominated in three significant B2B categories: Best Online Casino Provider in CEE, Best Slot Developer in CEE, and Best RNG Game Portfolio in CEE. The winners will be revealed on 24 March at the GamingTECH CEE Awards event, which takes place during the summit.
For Tom Horn Gaming, the occasion provides more than merely a venue for conversation. It presents a chance to reestablish connections with partners, share insights with industry leaders, and interact with the wider technology community in one of Europe’s most motivating cities.
“Over the years, the Prague Summit has become a staple event for our team,” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming. “Our partnership with HIPTHER goes back many editions, and it’s fantastic to see how the summit has grown into such an important hub for dialogue across gaming, AI and fintech. Being the Grand Sponsor of this special 10th anniversary edition makes it even more meaningful. We’re looking forward to the insightful discussions, meeting industry peers and celebrating a decade of innovation together in beautiful Prague.”
From the organiser’s side, the continued support from Tom Horn Gaming is equally valued.
“Long-term partnerships are what truly build strong communities, and Tom Horn Gaming has been part of the Prague Summit journey for many years,” said Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER. “We are delighted to welcome them back as Grand Sponsor for this landmark 10th edition. Their continued involvement reflects the collaborative spirit that has shaped the summit since day one, and we look forward to another inspiring gathering with industry leaders from across the globe.”
With the summit marking ten years of influence, the 2026 edition will include a reflection on the changes in the industry and its community over the last decade. With a full schedule, international involvement, and a significant anniversary to celebrate, this year’s event is set to be one of the most unforgettable so far.

Groove will take part in a regulation-focused panel at SiGMA Summit Asia, with CEO Yahale Meltzer attending and Business Development Director Giusy Campo speaking on the session titled “Jurisdiction Jungle: Who Rules Asia’s iGaming Empire?”.
According to the company, the panel will examine whether Asian licensing regimes can hold up under enforcement, cross-border scrutiny, banking pressure and rising compliance requirements. Topics slated for discussion include audit readiness, payment disruption, tax enforcement, evolving AML expectations and geopolitical shifts.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “The conversation in Asia has matured significantly. Operators are no longer asking just about content volume or time-to-market. They are asking about structural resilience: how a platform handles a studio API failure without impacting player experience, what the data sovereignty protocols are, and whether the compliance architecture is defensive or reactive|”
Campo added: “In a region where banking pressure and regulatory expectations shift rapidly, the platforms that survive will be the ones that built integrity into their stack from the first line of code, not the ones scrambling to patch it in later.” Meltzer said: “The ‘Jurisdiction Jungle’ is not a metaphor for growth; it is a reality for every operator trying to scale across Asia’s fragmented regulatory landscape.” He added: “The mistake some make is treating compliance as a hurdle to clear. We treat it as a design constraint from day one. If your architecture is not built to generate verifiable, immutable audit trails for every transaction, you are not actually ready for Asia’s top tier. Our presence at SiGMA Summit Asia is about having serious conversations with operators who understand that trade-off.”
Groove said it has published a White Paper on navigating the Asian iGaming market, available on its website, and positioned its SiGMA Summit Asia attendance as part of a broader push in Asia following recent expansion moves into LatAm and Africa.

HIPTHER is proud to announce a new community-driven initiative for HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026, opening 50 fully complimentary delegate passes for members of Eestistartup.ee, one of Estonia’s largest startup communities, bringing together more than 1,000 startups across the country’s fast-growing innovation ecosystem.
The initiative is launched in collaboration with Daniel Gunba, founder of Eestistartup, long-standing friend of the #hipthers community, and recurring HIPTHER conference speaker. Designed as a friendship project rooted in shared respect for Estonia’s founders and innovators, the initiative aims to support local startup access to international industry dialogue, networking, and business opportunities.
Taking place on 2 June 2026 at Hilton Tallinn Park, HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 will explore Digital Governance, Startup Innovation, Nordic Market Expansion, fintech, compliance, AI, digital identity, investment, and regulated technology ecosystems — making the collaboration a natural fit for Estonia’s startup community.
Through the initiative, selected Eestistartup members will receive full access to the conference programme, networking sessions, lunch, and the evening networking party, including one complimentary drink.
More than a delegate pass, the initiative reflects HIPTHER’s commitment to opening doors for ambitious builders, connecting founders with decision-makers, and celebrating Tallinn’s role as one of Europe’s most dynamic centres for digital governance, entrepreneurship, and technology leadership.
As HIPTHER OÜ proudly calls Estonia home, Tallinn 2026 carries special meaning for the #hipthers team. The event represents both a regional milestone and a homecoming — a chance to bring HIPTHER’s international community closer to the founders, innovators, and tech leaders shaping Estonia’s next chapter.
“Estonia has always represented something bigger than just a startup ecosystem. It’s a mindset, practical innovation, digital-first thinking, and founders who build without waiting for permission. As HIPTHER OÜ proudly calls Estonia home, creating this initiative together with Daniel and the Eestistartup community felt natural. Tallinn 2026 is not just another conference stop for us; it’s a chance to give back, open doors, and connect local builders with an international network of decision-makers, investors, and innovators. Also, let’s be honest… in Estonia, even bureaucracy somehow feels like it runs on startup logic.” said Zoltan Tundik, Co-Founder & Head of Business at HIPTHER.
The collaboration with Eestistartup strengthens HIPTHER Tallinn’s mission to bring together startup founders, regulators, investors, fintech leaders, gaming and tech companies, compliance experts, and digital policy voices in one focused, high-value environment.
With Estonia widely recognised for its digital-first mindset and startup success stories, Tallinn offers the ideal setting for conversations that move beyond theory and into practical ecosystem growth, cross-border cooperation, and future-ready innovation.
Daniel Gunba, Founder of the Eestistartup Community, commented: “Through the collaboration between the Estonian startup community and HIPTHER, we are opening the doors for industry professionals to connect with our startup founders. This is the moment when the crowd will experience 100% synergy between founders who have been on the market for many years and founders who are ready to create, explore, and grow.
Estonia has always been a talent hub, and I am happy that together with Zoltan and his team, we found a way to empower it even more!”
HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn will serve as the grand finale of the 2026 HIPTHER Baltics series, following the highly successful Vilnius and Riga editions, and will also host the HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards Ceremony & Closing Party.
Complimentary passes for Eestistartup members are limited to 50 and available through the official application form.
