“We believe we can partner with brands, such as Crabsports, and truly provide them with differentiation on the market and help them compete against the nationwide Tier 1 players. We look forward to working with the excellent team at Crabsports to help build a brand and an experience that will stand out in Maryland.”
In August, Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) signed an agreement with Kings Media, marking its arrival in the Candian province of Ontario. The deal was signed for an initial three-year period with the opportunity to be renewed. Kings Media has decades of operational experience, but this will be its first venture in North America.
In July, GiG was awarded a supplier licence in Ontario and can now offer its B2B sportsbook and player account management (PAM) platforms to licensed operators in the Canadian province. Ontario launched regulated igaming on April 4.
