GiG granted affiliate vendor registration in New Jersey

Reading Time: 1 minute

Gaming Innovation Group Inc.(GiG) has been granted an affiliate vendor registration in the state of New Jersey, US, enabling the company to send traffic to regulated casinos and Sportsbooks in the state. The current vendor registration allows GiG to refer website traffic to operators on a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) basis, starting from Q1 2019.

GiG’s media services arm has, over the past 12 months, been building up portfolio assets to target the US and this is the first step towards monetising those websites and marketing channels. GiG will apply for registrations in other states as they open up for the opportunity.

GiG’s chief operations officer Richard Brown says: “New Jersey is an attractive market for affiliation. We are excited to receive our vendor registration, enabling us to start referring traffic to the operators in this jurisdiction. It is an exciting opportunity for us, however we expect the state-by-state legalisation of sports betting to materialise at a slow rate . There is strong competition in the market, but we are confident we can replicate, in the US, the success we have achieved in the highly competitive European markets.”

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has imposed the fines totalling US$242k against two casino operators.

Sands Bethworks Gaming, LLC, operator of the Sands Casino Resort in Northampton County, received separate fines of US$120k for underage gaming violations and a second for US$110k regarding the awarding of free slot play. The fine stemmed from 11 incidents in which individuals under the age of 21 accessed the gaming floor.

The second fine was issued for permitting the issuance of free slot play by employees who were not authorised to do so and/or issuing free slot play of amounts above authorised levels.

Washington Trotting Association, LLC, operator of the Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Washington County, received a US$12.5k fine for an underage gaming violation. This fine stemmed from an 18-year-old male gaining access onto the gaming floor, wagering at table games and being served alcohol.
