Lithuania Implements New Restrictions on Gambling Advertising
Lithuania has implemented new stricter restrictions on gambling advertising.
According to the Gaming Control Authority, the changes are transitional before a full ban on gambling advertising comes into force in 2028. Until then, gambling advertising will be restricted but allowed.
“The aim of the amendments to the Gaming Law is to reduce the accessibility of gambling and the harm it causes to society,” Sandra Vitkevičiūtę, an advisor at the Authority, said.
From July 1, gambling organisers will be able to advertise their names and brands only on their headquarters or gambling venues, while other external advertising is banned. Companies will also be able to advertise their name and trademark on their website.
Only publications dedicated to the gambling business will be allowed to publish information about gambling.
Only betting commercials will be allowed on TV, radio and the internet, but they will be limited to 15 seconds and aired no more than three times an hour between 06:00 and 18:00 and no more than twice an hour between 18:00 and midnight.
Moreover, online betting ads must not be linked to betting websites.
From July, gambling operators can still sponsor sporting events, organisations, sports broadcasts and athletes, as well as cultural or artistic events and their broadcasts.
However, the names of gambling companies can no longer be used in the names of sports clubs or leagues, but they will still be allowed to appear next to the sponsored club or athlete.

A Baltic-Nordic Industry Room Built for Decision-Makers
HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 closes the 2026 Baltic series by bringing together the people shaping regulated growth across gaming, fintech, AI, compliance, payments, cybersecurity, and startup innovation — all inside one highly focused, boutique environment built for real conversations instead of expo chaos.
Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder & Head of Business at HIPTHER, commented: “Tallinn has always represented something unique for us. Not only because HIPTHER OÜ proudly calls Estonia home, but because the Baltic-Nordic region continues to prove that practical innovation, digital governance, and entrepreneurial resilience can coexist without unnecessary complexity.
With Tallinn 2026, we wanted to build more than another conference agenda. We wanted to create a room where operators, regulators, founders, compliance leaders, fintech innovators, and AI practitioners can have honest operational conversations about what comes next.
The future of regulated industries will not be shaped in isolated verticals. It will be shaped through collaboration between technology, compliance, governance, finance, and human decision-making. That is exactly why Tallinn felt like the natural grand finale for our Baltic series.
And frankly, there is no better city in Europe to host these conversations than Tallinn.”
As HIPTHER returns home to Tallinn, the final stop of the series promises a high-level gathering designed around substance, operational insight, and the future of the Baltic-Nordic innovation economy.
