Innovative Technology (ITL) return from Barcelona after three days of successful networking and information exchange with new prospects and opportunities generated from the vibrant gaming and casino market. The booth showcased their latest innovations from both the cash handling side of the business as well as their biometric age and facial access control division.

Summarising their presence at the show, Marcus Tiedt,  ITL Sales & Marketing Director said, “Thank you to all the customers, partners and industry experts who took time out to see our latest innovations.  Our demo linking our age & access control system replicating an 18+ gate entrance and on-machine age verification was the star of the show. ICU Lite offers age estimation directly at the machine so manufacturers and operators can simply and quickly integrate age checks to help ensure player protection, prevent underage gambling and provide a seamless gaming experience for 18+ players. This compact USB size hardware can be easily plugged into gaming machines to automate age checks and when teamed with MyCheckr placed at 18+ casino entrances or access gates, we can provide a full solution for secure age related access control. Linking our devices with MyConnect we offer an efficient way for casino staff to remotely respond to any underage play or access attempts and using facial recognition it can even work with self-exclusion lists.”

Enrique Jütten, VP of Sales & Business Development responsible for ITL’s gaming customers said, “On the cash side, the clear winner was our flagship NV200 Spectral banknote validator. We successfully showed the industry how this is the best value casino-grade note validator on the market for operators, especially those wanting to upgrade outdated or obsolete equipment. This highly secure validator offers exceptional note handling, superior counterfeit detection,  99%+ first time acceptance of new & street grade notes, and fast note-to-note processing time.  When used with the Spectral Payout add-on module we can offer the industry an 80 mixed note recycling capacity to help to significantly reduce collection costs and machine downtime. And of course it was great to show the NV22 Spectral which continues to  dominate the Spanish market and is the proven note recycler for street gaming.”

Concluding Enrique said, “ICE is a key exhibition in the ITL calendar and as always it proved to be a success for the global gaming team who are looking forward to following up on all the productive discussion and opportunities we had at the show.”

The BSA-AML Compliance Group has announced the return of the Annual BSA/AML Gaming Conference, the most respected and comprehensive anti-money laundering compliance event in the gaming industry. The 2026 conference will be held at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from September 15–17, with a dedicated “Fundamentals Day” on Monday, September 14 for newer professionals and those seeking a refresher in core BSA/AML principles.

Headline Keynotes and Distinguished Guests Announced

This year’s event features presentations from some of the most influential figures in financial crime enforcement and policy:

Michael Dreitzer, Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, will deliver a keynote outlining how the gaming capital of the world has addressed illicit finance risk, including through a series of new rules for the casino industry as well as several significant enforcement actions.

Jarod Koopman, Chief of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and Chief Tax Compliance Officer, will address his dual leadership role overseeing IRS Criminal Investigation and all of civil tax compliance operations. His keynote will provide insights into emerging financial crime threats, compliance priorities, and financial crime enforcement trends. He will also discuss the critical role of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) in supporting federal investigations, including recent matters impacting the gaming industry.

Several other high-level government officials — state and federal, civil and criminal — will be announced in the near future. The conference will also host experts from commercial and tribal casinos, academia, and other practitioners focused on money laundering in the gaming industry.

Last year, more than 560 attendees from 40 states, six foreign countries, dozens of Native American tribes, and over 160 gaming entities attended with overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding speaker access, practical insights and networking.

The agenda will also feature in-depth studies and presentations regarding recent enforcement actions; emerging issues involving know-your-customer and source of funds; presentations regarding data analysis; artificial intelligence and innovation; and legal, regulatory, and money laundering issues surrounding prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket.

“Thanks to our phenomenal speakers and amazing audience, we’re proud to host an event that brings together compliance officers and government officials to make it the premier event for AML and sanctions compliance in the gaming industry. With keynote speakers like Chief Koopman and Chairman Dreitzer, we’re looking forward to an excellent conference,” said Brian Lopez, Co-Founder of the BSA-AML Compliance Group.

HIPTHER proudly concludes the inaugural edition of its expanded HIPTHER Baltics 2026 conference series, successfully bringing together a total of 430 participants across three dedicated events in Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn.

Building on the legacy of the MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit and introducing a new, country-focused format, HIPTHER Baltics 2026 delivered three high-impact conferences designed around the most pressing regulatory, technological, and business developments shaping the Baltic and Nordic regions. The series focused on creating meaningful dialogue between regulators, operators, fintech leaders, technology innovators, legal experts, investors, and compliance professionals.

The 2026 edition featured:

  • HIPTHER Baltics: Vilnius – iGaming Regulation & Fintech Integration
  • HIPTHER Baltics: Riga – Cross-Border Compliance & Player Protection
  • HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn – Digital Governance & Startup Innovation

Vilnius: Exploring Lithuania’s Regulatory Transformation

The series launched on 21 April in Vilnius, where discussions focused on Lithuania’s evolving regulatory landscape and the increasing convergence of fintech, payments, blockchain, and iGaming.

Industry leaders examined topics including MiCA implementation, AML requirements, digital assets, banking transformation, tokenisation, AI adoption in financial services, next-generation payments, and the growing role of compliance in sustainable business growth. The event marked the beginning of a new chapter for Baltic-focused industry conversations and set the tone for the months ahead.

Riga: Regulation, Risk and Growth in a Changing Market

On 11 May, HIPTHER Baltics arrived in Riga, bringing together experts from gaming, fintech, legal, compliance, and technology sectors for a day dedicated to practical business realities.

Key conversations addressed responsible gaming, player protection, AML implementation, fraud prevention, AI in supervision and taxation, payments innovation, cross-border licensing, data protection, affiliate marketing, and the transition from traditional SEO to AI-powered discoverability. The Riga edition highlighted how businesses can remain compliant while continuing to innovate and grow in increasingly regulated environments.

Tallinn: Digital Governance Meets Innovation

The series concluded on 2 June in Tallinn, one of Europe’s most digitally advanced capitals.

The event explored the intersection of digital governance, startup ecosystems, digital identity, compliance, investment, fintech innovation, and iGaming. Discussions ranged from eIDAS 2.0 and trusted digital onboarding to sustainable player acquisition, operational partnerships, AI-powered business growth, and the future of digital societies.

Tallinn also hosted the HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026, celebrating excellence across operators, suppliers, technology providers, and industry leaders from the Baltic and Nordic regions.

Beyond Conferences: Building a Regional Community

Throughout all three events, participants benefited from curated networking opportunities and practical learning sessions through the HIPTHER Academy, HIPTHER’s educational platform focused on delivering hands-on skills, professional development, and industry certifications.

The combination of boutique-format events, high-level content, and meaningful networking once again demonstrated why the Baltics continue to attract increasing attention as a hub for innovation, regulation, and cross-border collaboration.

Looking Ahead – HIPTHER Baltics 2027

Reflecting on the success of the series, Zoltan Tündik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at HIPTHER, commented: “We are incredibly proud of what we achieved across the Baltics in 2026, but this is only the beginning. The success of the three-city series has provided us with valuable insights, feedback, and inspiration that we are already incorporating into the planning of HIPTHER Baltics 2027. The Baltics have a unique energy when it comes to business events, innovation, and networking, and we are excited to continue growing alongside this vibrant community. Our commitment remains the same: delivering meaningful conversations, practical learning opportunities, and exceptional networking experiences that bring together the region’s most influential stakeholders.

After the successful completion of HIPTHER Baltics 2026 and the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from participants, the #hipthers team is already working on an exciting and enhanced next edition.

With the HIPTHER Warsaw Summit set to take place on 27–28 October 2026 and an ambitious roadmap for 2027–2030 already taking shape, HIPTHER continues its mission of connecting industries, markets, and ideas through premium learning, meaningful networking, and cross-border collaboration across Europe.

Free virtual event focuses on content overload and the fight for player attention, with speakers from Print Studios, SOFTSWISS, Stake and more.

BGaming will run the second edition of its TRUE WAYS online conference on July 15 at 15:00 CET. The virtual event is free to attend with advance registration via the conference website.

This year’s theme is “Content Overload in iGaming: Who Wins the Player’s Attention?”. BGaming said the sessions will examine market saturation and what content and engagement strategies are most likely to perform in 2026 and beyond.

The agenda includes six sessions of up to 20 minutes each, followed by live Q&A. Confirmed speakers are Carl Wiggman, CEO at Print Studios; Gretta Kockonan, Head of Business Development and Partner Studios at SOFTSWISS; Caelum Ferrarese, Casino Product Specialist at Stake; Mike Danshin, CMO at 1w Crypto; Leonardo Benites, CEO at Propane; and BGaming Product Owner Igor Bondarenko.

BGaming is positioning the event as a follow-up to its inaugural TRUE WAYS conference in 2025, which the company said drew more than 400 approved attendees, with nearly 50% holding C-level positions, spanning Europe, LatAm, North America, and Africa.

Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said, “Last year’s TRUE WAYS proved there is a strong appetite within the industry for honest conversations and practical insights, and we are excited to bring the conference back for a second edition.

Content overload is one of the biggest challenges facing iGaming today. With more games competing for attention than ever before, businesses need to think differently about how they engage players and build long-term loyalty.

This year, we have brought together experienced professionals from across the industry to share their perspectives on this challenge, discuss what is actually working in today’s market, and explore the strategies that will shape the future of player engagement.”
