“The hugely complementary regulatory profile and high-quality sportsbook that Sportnco have rapidly expands both companies short- and long-term addressable market. We are very excited to combine the two companies' offerings and accelerate our growth potential.”

Hervé Schlosser, CEO and Founder of Sportnco, added: “Sportnco sportsbook will add strength and attractiveness to the offer of GiG and our mutual PAM solutions will enable us to cover European and American regulated markets, for all our existing and future clients.”
