Gaming Innovation Group

What Gaming Innovation Group does

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG Software P.L.C.) is a publicly traded B2B iGaming technology provider operating across 31+ regulated markets globally. The company's core offering is a cloud-based iGaming platform combining sports betting and casino products, anchored by the Tier 1 Sportnco sportsbook acquired in December 2021 for approximately €70 million. GiG extends its product surface through partnerships with VAIX (Sportradar) for AI-driven personalization and SavageTech for avatar-based gamification overlays, both deployed without requiring core platform changes.

The business operates a dual-revenue model. The first stream is B2B platform licensing, where operators pay recurring fees for the integrated sportsbook and casino infrastructure, with pricing negotiated on a quote basis. The second stream is casino affiliate media, built around acquired high-traffic domains including AskGamblers.com, Johnslots.com, and Newcasinos.com (from Catena Media, €45 million in January 2023) plus KaFe Rocks and Titan Inc. (SEO and content services). This affiliate portfolio monetizes through referral partnerships with operators and contributes SEO, content, and traffic acquisition capabilities that feed the platform business.

GiG is incorporated in Malta as a P.L.C. and trades on Nasdaq Stockholm (GIGSEK) and the US OTCQX (GIGXF, since October 2025). Headcount is 501-1000 employees. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct platform sales combined with white-label arrangements for media brands (e.g., ITV Win in the UK via Richmond Atlantic). Notable risks include a funded class action lawsuit in New Zealand against Silvereye Entertainment, a Malta-licensed subsidiary operating SkyCity's online gaming business, with potential claims spanning February 2020 to February 2026.
