A Maltese based gaming software provider, Gaming Innovation Group has recently extended its presence in the US. A few days back, the company received a license to provide sports betting for its flagship affiliate website known as WSN.com in Colorado. The license was a betting license for Vendor Minor sports.

The license was issued by the gaming commissioner of Colorado. Now, it will allow WSN.com to attract sports betting traffic for licensees in Colorado. This year in May, Colorado introduced an official online sports betting and has seen a swathe of sports betting businesses expanding their operations all across the state.

Now the company’s website is active in the seven regions of the United States including Indiana, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It recently got the authorization to offer affiliate betting services in Pennsylvania. It’s the fourth state where GiG’s services are active via its two websites namely CasinoTopsOnline.com and WSN.com.

The GiG was issued its first affiliate registration last year in January in New Jersey. In this state, it was granted permission to provide traffic to Sportsbooks and casinos. After beginning its supply in New Jersey, it received a certificate of registration to operate sports wagering in Indiana in December 2019.

Under the license, the company will be responsible to administer, monitor, and control several sports wagers that are developed or received on a gaming platform. The company will also look after the hardware and software for its gaming platform and deliver innovative services and products to ensure effective sports betting.
