GiG secures gaming service provider authorization in Pennsylvania

February 19, 2020
By

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has received authorization from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to provide affiliate services in the state.

The supplier’s media division is active through the Worlds Sports Network (WSN.com) and CasinoTopsOnline.com.

GiG was granted an affiliate vendor registration in New Jersey in January 2019, followed by a certificate of registration for sports wagering in Indiana in December 2019.

WSN.com is also active in West Virginia, as it has no licensing requirements for sports betting affiliates.

Richard Brown, CEO of GiG, said: “The Pennsylvania authorization comes at an opportune moment for us as our flagship website, WSN.com, continues to climb in Google rankings in the US.

“This will provide us with more opportunities to convert visitors into players and we’re fully prepared to enter more states as they allow legal operators to start accepting customers.”

Earlier this week, GiG reported a year-on-year revenue decrease of 26% for Q4 2019, down to €29.4m ($31.7m).

For the full year, the supplier saw revenue fall 23% to €123m.

B2C revenue was GiG’s main source of income, but this was down 26% to €19m for Q4, while B2B revenue also decreased by 26% for the quarter, to €12.1m.
