Relationships, expertise, applause, affiliate authority; this is the energy that DepToWin brought
to Vilnius for the MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, hosted by HIPTHER.
Set against the stunning spring backdrop of Lithuania’s capital, this year’s summit – fittingly themed “The Symphony of Innovation” – was the perfect stage for DepToWin Partners to communicate what makes us the Premium Choice in iGaming affiliate marketing. With our CEO Daniel Gunba speaking on a powerhouse panel and walking away with two prestigious BSG Awards, the message was clear: DepToWin actively participates in shaping the future of the iGaming scene.
Both our CEO Daniel Gunba and CSO Taras Pasechnik proudly attended the summit, representing the vision and leadership behind the DepToWin brand.
Leading the Conversation: Daniel Gunba on the TechXperience Stage
At this year’s summit, DepToWin CEO Daniel Gunba was scheduled as a featured speaker on one of the most anticipated panels of the entire event: the “Future-Proofing iGaming” session was held on the cutting-edge TechXperience Stage, dedicated to innovation, fintech, and bold new thinking.
Daniel joined top-level minds from across gaming, payments, and banking. The full lineup included:
Nadia Calleja – Head of Legal for Customer Operations and Payments, Betsson Group
Ugnė Palijanskaitė – Country Manager Lithuania, Enable Banking
Daniel Gunba – CEO, TRIION Gaming & DepToWin
Moderator Zoltan Tuendik, the Co-Founder of HIPTHER and organiser of the Summit
The discussion focused on how next-generation technologies and financial infrastructures are reshaping the future of iGaming – a conversation where Daniel, as the founder of a VR casino provider company, and CEO of DepToWin Partners was uniquely equipped to contribute in.
In this forward-focused discussion, Daniel shared his expertise on how Web3 is reshaping the iGaming space, tackling some of the most exciting questions in the industry today:
🟣 What does Web3 offer to game studios that Web2 infrastructure does not?
🟣 How can decentralization change the player-operator dynamic?
🟣 What does "ownership" of assets really mean in gaming – and do players even care yet?
🟣 What’s the reality of Web3’s impact on players in 2025 – and what’s just hype?
🟣 How do we define “player-centric” in today’s evolving iGaming landscape?
Daniel’s participation in this high-level exchange reflects DepToWin’s active role in driving innovation, not just following it – a mindset we bring to everything we build.
Celebrating Excellence: DepToWin at the BSG Awards 2025
A beacon among the Summit’s highlights, the Baltic & Scandinavian Gaming Awards (BSG Awards) 2025 is an institution that honours the best companies and professionals across the Baltics and Nordics, spotlighting excellence, talent, and innovation in gaming and tech.
Held at the vibrant Jazz Cellar 11 in Vilnius, this year’s BSG Awards celebrated industry achievements in true boutique summit style.
The Summit’s participants had three days to vote for the most successful GameTech companies and professionals, and we are thrilled to share that our CEO, Daniel Gunba, left with two high-profile awards from the individual professionals categories, recognised as:
🏆 Baltic Rising Star in iGaming
🏆 Baltic iGaming Influencer of the Year
We are proud and honoured by our CEO’s recognition, as it also reflects DepToWin’s dynamic in the affiliate marketing and iGaming landscape.
"Winning two awards means a lot to me and my team. We are constantly developing better solutions, and moments like this show us that we are on the right path. More wins are on the way!” - Daniel Gunba, DepToWin CEO
