Tonybet named Best Sports Betting Operator (Baltics) at the HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026

Regional recognition caps a competitive shortlist as Tonybet's sportsbook is named the Baltics' best at the industry's flagship awards ceremony in Tallinn

Tonybet has been named Best Sports Betting Operator – Baltics at the HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards 2026. The winners were announced on 2 June at the awards ceremony and closing party of the HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics: Tallinn summit, capping a competitive shortlist that placed Tonybet alongside the strongest sportsbook operators in the region.

The HIPTHER Baltic & Nordics Gaming Awards recognise the operators, suppliers, studios and leaders shaping the gaming ecosystem across the Baltics and Nordics. Shortlists were drawn up through an internal review by the HIPTHER Awards Committee, assessing each nomination on category fit, regional relevance, market activity, product impact and overall contribution to the industry, before winners were confirmed by a final vote of registered participants.

The recognition reflects the qualities that have defined Tonybet since its founding: a sportsbook built on broad market coverage, competitive odds and a fast, intuitive betting experience, supported by a commitment to integrity and player protection.

Operating from its Riga headquarters, the company has grown into an international brand active across multiple regulated markets, combining deep roots in the Baltics with a global footprint spanning sports betting, online casino and live dealer gaming.

For Tonybet, the award carries particular significance in its home region, where the company first established its reputation and continues to invest in its product, its people and its players.

"To be recognised as the Baltics' best sports betting operator means a great deal to us, not least because this is the region where Tonybet began," said Jurijs Rapoports, COO and Chairman of the Board at Tonybet.

"This award belongs to our teams, who work every day to give players a sportsbook they can trust. We remain as focused as ever on raising the standard – for our customers, and for the markets we serve."

The win adds to Tonybet's growing record of recognition as it continues to expand across regulated jurisdictions while maintaining the responsible gaming standards and legal clarity that underpin its brand.
