United Kingdom Gambling Commission has issued MT SecureTrade Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of GIG, a combined remote operating license effective from 3 January 2017, licensing GIG to offer both casino and sportsbetting in the UK market. Entering large sports markets such as the UK is an important part of GIG’s growth strategy. This licence provides an attractive opportunity for GIG to also offer sports betting to UK based customers – both for GIG’s own six brands as well as a growing number of white labels on the iGC platform. The Groups offer to its UK clients was previously limited to online casino.

Of the signed clients that are not yet operational, two plan to go live in Q1 2017 and three in Q2 2017.
