GiG extends Betsson relationship with Rizk launch in Germany
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Gaming Innovation Group has today announced that the Rizk casino brand is now live in Germany, powered by GiG’s award winning platform, following confirmation of its suitability to the regulations now consolidated under Germany’s new nationalised online gaming authority.

A part of the Zecure deal that saw Betsson purchase GiG’s B2C assets in April 2020, the launch expands on a relationship that continues to grow and now covers multiple brands in nine regulated markets, across both Europe and Latin America. Rizk will look to benefit from a strong team behind an established brand, with extensive knowledge of the market.

GiG’s B2B platform, a multiple winner at one of the industry’s leading awards including ‘Full service platform of the year’ for 2023, has proven well suited to complex regulated markets like Germany, combining GiG’s wealth of experience together with an agile technology stack to ensure it is securely positioned to adapt and scale to any changes in regulatory frameworks. This commitment to compliance has seen GiG regulated in 29 global markets as of today, with a further 8 in the pipeline, to offer a breadth of growth opportunities for tier 1 partners such as Betsson, all under the highest levels of consumer protection.

iGaming in Germany has undergone a series of well documented changes to legislation following the Fourth State Treaty on Gambling, which came into force in July 2021. Previously regulated at state level, the appointment of a new federal regulator, Gemeinsamen Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) on 01 January 2023 has entrusted Germany’s policy development, licensing controls, market monitoring, disputes and operator conduct to a national governing body for the first time. It is expected that the changes will provide a secure footing for operators and providers to expand the German igaming market into the largest in Europe, over the coming years.

Marcel Elfersy, Chief Commercial Officer at GiG 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 and personalised service to a tier 1 operator like Betsson, that we believe places GiG as a market leader in the B2B space.”

Andrew Valenzia, Commercial Director at Betsson, added; This is a fantastic milestone for Betsson Group having such a legendary brand in RIZK return to the market. Our main focus is to provide our German customers the best player experience in the industry, that is safe and sustainable. The expansion into Germany reaffirms our fantastic partnership with GiG, who continue to provide us with an excellent service that goes beyond our expectations.

Leading German software provider teams up with Hamburg-born aggregator to make full suite of slots available to customers in regulated markets worldwide

With immediate effect, German iGaming-business Apparat Gaming is teaming up with fellow Hamburg-founded company edict egaming. The former, having forged a reputation for providing premium casino content with a German accent, has thus joined forces with one of the country’s top aggregators in edict, one of the Merkur Group’s subsidiaries.

As a result of the deal, Apparat Gaming’s ever-expanding portfolio of 30+ quality slots, including recent releases like the high-octane Autobahn Alarm and the hotly-anticipated Fishin’ the Biggest, will be joining edict’s already widespread line-up of over 200 titles – making them now available to all operators who choose edict for their game aggregation needs.

This collaboration will give customers access to an even more diverse selection of games, all of which are fully compliant with the latest German regulation and certified for release in multiple markets.

Founded in 1998, edict was one of the industry’s pioneering online casino service providers before it was acquired by the Merkur Group a decade later. In 2021, the company added an aggregator solution to its offering, and it has been steadily developing this product ever since to a point where it now supplies content to over 150 operators and starts 8.5+ billion games per year.

Specialising in engaging titles that are supplied by some of Germany’s most popular studios, Apparat Gaming’s releases will certainly look right at home among the aggregator’s prestigious game portfolio – and both parties are already looking forward to a highly successful collaboration.

Martin Frindt, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “Given Apparat Gaming’s German roots, we’re delighted to be teaming up with a Hamburg-born business-like edict. Adding our titles to their line-up will give operators access to our over 30 top slots that all come with our signature German accent, and we can’t wait to hear how they’re received by customers.”

Dominic-Daniel Lienard CEO at edict, said: “Since launching our aggregator solution, edict has compiled a stellar portfolio of releases from some of the top developers in Germany and beyond – and adding Apparat Gaming titles will strengthen this roster further. With great graphics, unique themes, and innovative bonus features, we’re sure their slots will be a huge hit with our operators.”
