iGaming Jobs in Latvia

Latvia is a small iGaming market with an outsized role in live casino. Riga hosts live studio operations for two of the best-known suppliers, plus the local brands of a major operator, so most on-site hiring here centres on studios, studio technology and support. The local job list below is often short, because most roles on igamingjobs are remote. This page covers who hires in Riga, which roles open locally, and how remote work fits if you live in Latvia.

Who hires in Riga

  • Evolution. Evolution lists Latvia among its studio locations and describes Riga as a major development and launch hub where many new games are created and tested before global release. That puts studio work and game development in the same city.
  • Playtech. Playtech's Latvia careers page calls Playtech Live Latvia the headquarters of its live studios around the globe, with an office in Riga's Old Town that is home to a range of departments and teams.
  • Entain. Entain's Latvia team powers local brands including Optibet, Klondaika and Laimz, with teams across people, IT, product and technology, customer care, operations (including marketing and SEO), finance, legal and compliance, and retail for Klondaika.

Live casino roles: presenters and studio teams

The game presenter is the face of the table. Evolution describes the job as leading the game live from the studio: opening the game, accepting bets, dealing the cards or spinning the ball, and announcing the winner while talking to players. New hires start in its Academy, which teaches both the game and the presentation skills the role needs. Evolution says it broadcasts in more than 15 languages around the clock, offers morning, day and night shifts as well as part-time work, and asks for fluency in one broadcast language plus good English.

Behind the camera, live casino floors also rely on shift leads, trainers, card shufflers, and video and technical staff, and experienced presenters often look at training or shift management as a next step. Our guide to becoming a live casino dealer covers auditions and training, and live casino jobs lists studio openings across every hub.

Languages and pay

Language decides most studio and support offers. English opens the door, but tables and support desks for specific markets need native speakers. Our customer support salary page notes that agents covering Nordic languages, Dutch or German earn notable premiums over English-only coverage. One recruitment agency advert for a Danish-speaking presenter at an unnamed Riga studio quoted a base of 14.16 to 21.24 euros an hour on 12-hour day or night shifts, with monthly totals of 2,700 to 3,000 euros or more gross. Treat that as one data point for a scarce language, not a market rate. Many employers share pay only on application, so ask early.

Tech, support and remote work from Latvia

Outside the studios, Riga hiring follows the supplier and operator teams: software, product, live operations, customer support, marketing, finance and compliance. Latvia is in the EU and on Eastern European Time, which suits remote roles run from Malta, Cyprus and other European hubs. Many roles listed on igamingjobs are remote and open to candidates based in Latvia, so check remote iGaming jobs alongside the local listings. Contract types vary, from local employment to employer of record or freelance arrangements, so read each advert for location limits and contract terms. Our remote jobs guide explains which functions go remote most often.

Work permits and next steps

According to Latvia's State Employment Agency, EU, EEA and Swiss citizens do not need a work permit and have free access to the Latvian labour market, and those staying longer than three months register with the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs for a residence registration certificate. The agency says citizens of other countries need a work permit to work legally, issued by the same office on the basis of a visa or residence permit. The full details are on the State Employment Agency site.

Then pick a lane. If you want a studio job, list every language you speak fluently and apply directly on supplier career sites or through the listings below. If you want an office or remote role, filter by function and include Latvia in your location searches. Genuine employers do not charge for training or visas, and our guide to fake iGaming job offers shows the warning signs.
