Ticking the final box with Spelet.lv represents a major strategic achievement, reinforcing Endorphina’s strong presence in Latvia and highlighting its commitment to delivering high-quality gaming content across regulated markets.
“We’re very proud to partner with Spelet.lv, especially as it represents the final step in completing our presence in Latvia. Being live across all key partners in the market is a significant achievement for us, and it reflects the strong relationships we’ve built in the region. We’re excited to continue growing and delivering great results together,” said Inga Kadyrova, Partnership Manager at Endorphina.
The new partners also fully endorsed the collaboration.
“At Spelet, we build our ecosystem around quality, trust, and strong content, working only with partners who set the standards of the industry rather than follow them.

HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 Agenda Unites Digital Governance, AI, Fintech & Regulated Growth
HIPTHER has officially revealed the Agenda for HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026, taking place on 2 June at Hilton Tallinn Park, bringing together regulators, operators, fintech builders, founders, compliance leaders, legal experts, AI practitioners, and startup innovators for the grand finale of the HIPTHER Baltics 2026 series.
Tallinn is not just another conference destination for HIPTHER — it is home base. The city where the #hipthers story evolves, and the natural setting for a conference built around digital governance, startup ecosystems, operational resilience, and the future of regulated innovation.
The newly released program features:
- 16 sessions across one focused day
- 2 parallel stages
- 3 practical HIPTHER Academy workshops
- 40+ speakers & experts from across the Baltics, Nordics, and wider European ecosystem
One Agenda. Multiple Industries. Real Operational Conversations.
Tallinn 2026 brings together discussions that typically happen in separate rooms: AML supervision, fintech scaling, AI implementation, digital identity infrastructure, crypto payments, operational risk, behavioural science, startup growth, and commercial strategy.
Across the Compliance & Operations Lab and the TechXperience Stage, attendees will explore topics including:
- AML supervision, financial intelligence & market trust
- Operator-supplier partnerships under mature regulation
- Digital identity infrastructure & eIDAS 2.0
- AI-powered operations & compliance automation
- Player acquisition after the easy-growth era
- Stablecoins, Travel Rule & trusted payment infrastructure
- Governance, board accountability & operational risk
- VC, alternative finance & cross-border startup scaling
- Agentic AI and production-ready AI workflows for regulated sectors
The agenda also includes a focused Finland regulatory update alongside keynote sessions examining CRM strategy under tightening Nordic regulation, behavioural science in regulated environments, and the realities of operational AI adoption beyond the hype cycle.
HIPTHER Academy Expands the Practical Layer
Tallinn 2026 continues the expansion of HIPTHER Academy with practical workshops designed for professionals operating inside fast-changing regulated industries.
This year’s Tallinn workshops focus on:
- Digital body language & executive communication
- Production-ready AI agents for regulated industries
- Agentic AI workflows and orchestration systems
More Than a Conference Floor
HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 also brings back the curated social experiences that have become part of the HIPTHER DNA.

HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards + Karaoke @ Fort Bar
Sponsored by Amusnet
2 June · 20:00 – Late Night
Recognising Excellence Across the Baltics & Nordics and connecting in a celebratory atmosphere. Because some of the best conversations happen long after the panels end.
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.
