Olympic Entertainment Group’s (OEG) sports betting brand OlyBet has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). OlyBet is the leading online gaming and sports betting brand in the Baltic region, and through its continued growth and expansion, it has become a comprehensive sport, gaming and entertainment platform throughout Europe. The operator recently secured a partnership with the DP World Tour and Euroleague Basketball and is also the official sports betting partner for the National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Hockey League (NHL). Olybet joins nearly 50 companies and over 120 leading sports betting brands in IBIA, further strengthening the association’s position the world’s leading operator-run integrity monitoring body.

Corey Plummer, the Chairman and CEO of Olympic Entertainment Group and OlyBet Group said this about the step :“Protecting the integrity of sports and defending sports betting against corruption and criminal activities are two sides of the same coin. Together with other responsible and regulated betting operators and through a trusted and professional party such as IBIA we can take further steps to protect sports and sports betting.”

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “IBIA is delighted to welcome the OlyBet brand into our association. The operator brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of the sports betting market, notably in the Baltic region where it is a leading player. We intend to work closely with Olybet to harness that important regional knowledge base to protect our global network from corrupt betting practices linked to match-fixing. Olybet’s decision to join IBIA demonstrates its commitment to maintaining the integrity of sport and the operator’s desire to utilise the best integrity protection available globally for its sports betting product.”

The International Betting Integrity Association is the leading global voice on integrity for the licensed betting industry. It is run by operators for operators, protecting its members from corruption through collective action. Its monitoring and alert network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool that detects and reports suspicious activity on its members’ betting markets. The association has longstanding information-sharing partnerships with leading sports and gambling regulators to utilise its data and prosecute corruption. It represents the sector at high-level betting integrity policy discussion forums managed by the IOC, United Nations, Council of Europe and European Commission.

IBIA recently announced its Q1 alert figures, which included 40 incidents of suspicious betting, covering nine sports across 22 countries and five continents identified by IBIA’s global monitoring network. That network utilizes detailed customer-account data that is only available to IBIA and its members and covers nearly 50% of all regulated commercial online betting activity. By harnessing our members’ collective resources, IBIA is able deploy a protective shield around its operator members, resulting in fewer attempts to corrupt our members’ markets compared to non-members.

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

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.
