GiG re-launches Thrills as a PAY N PLAY(R) operator to enhance UX and compliance
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) has re-launched Thrills today as a lightning-fast, instant registration operator by introducing Trustly’s Pay N Play product as its only payment method. The technology is live in Sweden, Finland and Germany and will allow GiG to boost acquisition, build loyalty and stay compliant.
As well as going live on Thrills, the technology is also offered to operators on the GiG Core platform, with external brands Omnia and the newly launched Dreamz going live last month alongside another of GiG’s internal operators, Kaboo. GiG is planning to make it available to other operators soon. GiG plans to offer this to other external and internal operators in the near future.
Pay N Play enables instant player registration without the significant churn that the iGaming sector has historically experienced as a symptom of the more drawn out registration processes. New players deposit funds instantly and with no account registration necessary. The need for time consuming account verification as part of the registration process will become a thing of the past.
Both deposits and withdrawals will become instant transactions with Pay N Play, giving players more control and simplifying their experience. At the same time, operators can retain the strongest registration and security protocols through KYC requirements, which are fulfilled with data supplied directly via BankID.
CEO of GiG, Robin Reed comments:
“Trustly’s Pay N Play will ease the registration experience for Thrills’ players and enable higher conversion and retention while reducing churn. With instant deposits and withdrawals, this new system supports our promise “to provide fair and fun gaming for all”.

PAGCor Welcomes Lawyer Wilma Eisma as New President and Chief Operating Officer
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCor) today welcomed its new President and Chief Operating Officer, lawyer Wilma Eisma, who took her oath of office before Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in Malacanang this morning.
“We are happy to welcome Atty. Wilma Eisma as PAGCor’s new President and Chief Operating Officer,” PAGCor Chairman Alejandro Tengco said. “We know she will be a great asset and her vast experience in both the government and private sectors will surely be put to good use here.”
Tengco said he witnessed Eisma’s oath-taking in Malacanang this morning. She then immediately joined her first PAGCor board meeting in the afternoon as the agency’s first ever woman President and Chief Operating Officer.
A lawyer by profession, Eisma earned her law degree from the Ateneo de Manila University and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Development Bank of the Philippines before joining the state gaming firm.
Prior to that, she also served as the first woman Administrator and Chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).
Her private sector stints include leadership roles in PMFTC Incorporated, the Philippine affiliate of Philip Morris International.
She also held key positions at the Department of Trade and Industry where she worked at the Office of the Secretary and in the Office of the Majority Leader in the House of Representatives, among others.
Eisma succeeded Atty Juanito Sanosa Jr who resigned as PAGCor President and Chief Operating Officer last January.
