ProgressPlay’ Sweepstakes Solution merges entertainment and opportunity with its dual-currency engine; Gold Coins for play, Sweeps Coins (purchase-free) for real rewards. Built-in geocompliance and age verification create a bulletproof regulatory framework. Featuring over 40 top-tier providers like BetSoft and Pragmatic Play, with monthly content drops to maintain player excitement.

ProgressPlay’s Standalone Platform redefines operator independence, delivering a branded, fully equipped iGaming platform without development delays. Featuring elite game providers, military-grade security, and retention-boosting tools, it bypasses compliance hurdles and launches rapidly, with guaranteed uptime.

The White-Label Bingo is a game-changing powerhouse, already powering over 130 online casinos worldwide in just 12 months, an explosive adoption rate that shatters outdated perceptions. Far from a nostalgic relic, bingo has emerged as the iGaming industry’s ultimate player retention weapon and revenue accelerator, delivering unmatched engagement and scalability for operators. The company’s White-Label Portfolio including bingo, sportsbook, and casino, all backed by ProgressPlay’s proven reliability and rapid deployment, will also be on show.

HIPTHER, the global media hub and event organiser for the Gaming and Technology industries, is thrilled to announce its events’ rebrand and structural evolution for 2026 and beyond, including a stronger focus on learning and networking in the Baltics, as well as the launch of a new digital events lounge. The flagship HIPTHER Events are now rebranded as: HIPTHER Prague Summit, HIPTHER Warsaw Summit, and HIPTHER Baltics – which expands into three dedicated annual events, one in each Baltic capital.

10+ Years of Learning, Innovation & Networking

In 2026, HIPTHER celebrates ten years of impact on the events space for Gaming and Tech, marking the 10th anniversary of its flagship boutique summit in Central and Eastern Europe, long known as the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit.

Starting from the vibrant Gaming sector and anticipating the rapid convergence of Technology with iGaming, HIPTHER introduced sessions and networking opportunities for emerging industries such as Fintech, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, VR/AR, and more. This forward-looking vision established HIPTHER as the organiser of premier Gaming & Tech boutique events in Europe, gaining loyal participants from the most innovative companies.

Over the years, the flagship HIPTHER Events included:

• Prague Gaming & TECH Summit – the GameTech industry staple for CEE and beyond.
• MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit – the networking hub of the Baltics, rotating between the Baltic capitals.
• European Gaming Congress (EGC) – the definitive gathering for Gaming leaders and experts in Warsaw.

HIPTHER 2.0: The Natural Evolution of Branding & Connections

2024 and 2025 saw the strategic communication of all events under the HIPTHER brand across channels and content. This strategy paid off with growing word-of-mouth recognition, as the community itself began referring to “HIPTHER Prague”, “HIPTHER Warsaw”, or simply “HIPTHER Summits”.

As a natural next step, HIPTHER Events are now rebranded as: “HIPTHER Prague Summit”, “HIPTHER Warsaw Summit”, and “HIPTHER Baltics”, with the latter expanding into three yearly events, one in each Baltic capital:

• HIPTHER Baltics: Vilnius (HIPTHER Vilnius)
• HIPTHER Baltics: Riga (HIPTHER Riga)
• HIPTHER Baltics: Tallinn (HIPTHER Tallinn)

Each conference will highlight the unique character and innovation of the local industries, while connecting them to Gaming and Tech leaders from across Europe and the globe.

Introducing the HIPTHER Lounge – Smart Digital Networking

Alongside the rebrand, HIPTHER is proud to launch the HIPTHER Lounge, a digital event companion designed to make participation smarter, smoother, and more connected.

With one profile, participants can:

• Register seamlessly for all HIPTHER events.
• Access live agendas, speaker updates, maps & alerts.
• Benefit from AI-assisted networking and smart meeting scheduling.
• Receive tailored connection recommendations and post-event materials.
• Enjoy reminders and notifications that keep them in the loop before, during, and after the events.

The HIPTHER Lounge embodies the future of event engagement: a digital hub for learning, connection, and meaningful business growth.

Zoltan Tuendik, HIPTHER Co-Founder, stated about this new era of HIPTHER Events:

“A decade in, we’ve learned that the true power of events lies not in the stage or the spotlight, but in the connections we spark and the futures we shape together. At HIPTHER, we don’t  follow trends, we anticipate them, connect the dots, and design platforms where tomorrow’s ideas meet today’s innovators. As technology reshapes how we interact, our mission is to make those connections more intelligent, more meaningful, and above all, more human.”
