Checked for compliance with the current trend and iGaming standards in 2026

May 2026 – Kanggiten has been shortlisted in 14 categories at the Hipther Baltics & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026. They are the part of HIPTHER Baltics 2026 – a three-city conference series across Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn, covering iGaming regulation, compliance, fintech, and digital governance. HIPTHER has been active in the Baltics since 2018. Winners will be announced on 2 June at the awards ceremony in Tallinn. Kanggiten’s nominations cover sportsbook, casino, payments, hosting, compliance, and leadership.

14 Categories, Full Stack

According to the Hipther official shortlist, the nominations cover six verticals. Each maps to a working part of our platform:

  1. Best Sportsbook Provider
  2. Rising Star in Sports Betting Technology
  3. Best eSports Betting Supplier
  4. Best Casino Aggregator
  5. Best Payment Service Provider
  6. Best Hosting & Cloud Infrastructure Provider
  7. Best Compliance & RegTech Solution
  8. Best Live Casino Provider
  9. Rising Star in Casino Technology
  10. Industry Impact Award
  11. Rising Star in iGaming
  12. Innovator of the Year
  13. iGaming Leader of the Year
  14. Best iGaming CEO

For operators evaluating a platform switch, a shortlist across the full stack means fewer vendors, fewer integrations, and less operational risk.

Operating Under Baltic & Nordic Regulation

The Baltics and Nordics are among the most regulated iGaming markets in Europe. The Baltics alone have three separate regulatory frameworks – Estonia at 5.5% GGR tax with 30+ licensed operators, Latvia at 10% with strict advertising bans, Lithuania at 13% with a full ban on bonuses. Each jurisdiction sets its own licensing, KYC, and compliance requirements.

Kanggiten at the Baltics & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026 is shortlisted in categories that reward technical execution, not marketing. Best Compliance & RegTech Solution. Best Hosting & Cloud Infrastructure Provider.

Kanggiten was built to cover the full operator stack: casino and sportsbook engines, game aggregation, payments, analytics, affiliate management, marketing automation, and CRM – all within one modular system. Across 50+ active brands, the platform processes over 7 million transactions per month and serves more than 3 million players with access to 20,000+ games. Infrastructure runs at 99.9% uptime. On the retention side, operators have hit up to 39%, compared to the industry benchmark of 30–35%. Registration-to-deposit conversion reaches up to 70%.

Ivan Korkin, Head of Account Management at Kanggiten:

“Our platform was designed so that operators don’t need to rebuild the same foundation every time they launch a new product, brand, or market direction. The core components are reusable, configurable, and prepared for fast deployment. Many launch-critical elements – registration flows, bonuses, widgets, localised content, front-end structure – can be adjusted without a full engineering cycle. That’s not something you design in theory. It comes from running real operations across multiple markets for over a decade.”

Kanggiten at the Baltics & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026 is recognised across product, infrastructure, and leadership – all from one platform.
