GiG launches Rizk in Germany with Betsson

Supplier Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has announced that the Rizk casino brand is now live in Germany.

This follows the confirmation of GiG’s compliance with the laws now consolidated under Germany's newly nationalised online gambling authority.

The launch， a component of the agreement that saw Betsson acquire GiG's B2C assets in April 2020， builds on a partnership that has expanded to include brands in nine regulated markets in both Europe and Latin America.

Marcel Elfersy， GiG CCO， said: “Our excellent relationship with Betsson and the continuing expansion of our original deal， highlights the strength of our platform， technology and managed services teams.

“We’ve positioned ourselves to be able to support our partners growth aspirations， understanding where those opportunities are and ensuring we not only meet those expectations， but exceed them. It is this ability to offer a localised service to a tier 1 operator like Betsson， that we believe places GiG as a market leader in the B2B space.”

Our focus is to provide our German customers the best player experience in the industry， that is safe and sustainable.
