Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) has been awarded two licences in the Swedish market. One licence will be used for its inhouse brands (Rizk, Guts, Highroller, Thrills, Kaboo and Betspin) and the other licence will be offered to its external customers.

Petter Nylander, Chairman of the Board at GiG says: “I am very excited in joining GiG in this dynamic market at this point in time, the Company is ready for its next phase of expansion with an accelerated need for compliance and end user safety. GiG will shortly be moving its listing to Sweden and it is a pleasure to see the Swedish market re-regulate, which is something I have personally been fighting for over a significant period.”

“There is an enormous potential for growth in regulated and soon-to-be regulated markets globally, such as in the US, which state by state we see swiftly opening up for online casino and sports betting. I am looking forward to driving the success of GiG to the next level. GiG is uniquely positioned with its B2B solutions and B2C offering covering the whole value chain in iGaming and is supported by a strong Board in its further growth and opportunities.”

Robin Reed, CEO at GiG says: “I am delighted GiG is now ready for further growth in the regulated Swedish market where we have offered our online gaming entertainment since 2013. Sweden is a very important market, both to us and to many of our customers. We are looking forward to delivering our fair and fun offering to Swedish end users in the new regulated environment. GiG embraces a safe and trusted iGaming environment and has been and will continue investing in technology and people to be at the forefront of responsible gaming. Examples of our innovative player safety services include a leading marketing compliance tool ‘GiG Comply’, machine learning and artificial intelligence to manage responsible gaming and a hands-on, inhouse Player Safety Team which directly supports the end users.”

“We are excited about the potential for accelerated growth as we expand in regulated markets globally. The new Board of Directors brings all the knowledge and experience we need to further accelerate the Company in an increasingly regulated environment and to drive towards rapidly becoming the leading iGaming partner supporting our customers in building strong brands.”

The Swedish market will be regulated from 1 January 2019 with a betting duty of 18%, the licences are awarded by The Swedish Gambling Authority, Lotteriinspektionen. GiG currently holds licences in Malta, UK, New Jersey, Germany (Schleswig-Holstein), Sweden and has a pending licence in Spain.

On 11 December, a new Board of Directors was elected by GiG’s shareholders at a Special Meeting in Oslo. Petter Nylander was elected new Chairman of the Board.

SuperGaming’s highly anticipated Indo-futuristic Battle Royale game, Indus, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 5 million downloads on the Google Play Store and over 100,000 installs on the iOS App Store. This remarkable feat solidifies its position as one of India’s fastest-growing games. The title has also been recognized as the Best Made in India Game by Google Play in their prestigious Best of 2024 awards.

Indus has captivated players with its distinctive Indo-futuristic world setting that seamlessly blends Indian culture with futuristic aesthetics, immersive gameplay, and community-driven innovation. Key gameplay features like the Cosmium Clutch, Grudge Mechanic, and culturally inspired avatars and weapons have particularly resonated with players, offering strategic depth and adrenaline-filled matches.

Building upon this momentum, SuperGaming recently hosted its first international community playtest at the YGG Play Summit in Manila, Philippines. The event featured some of the region’s top esports talent, with Kadiliman Esports emerging victorious. This successful international debut aligns with SuperGaming’s vision to expand its player base while maintaining a deep-rooted connection to its community.

“Surpassing 5 million downloads is more than a milestone—it’s a reflection of the enthusiasm our players have for Indus,” said Roby John, Co-Founder and CEO of SuperGaming. “Hosting our first international playtest at the YGG Play Summit was another defining moment for us, and a reminder of what gaming can achieve—bridging cultures and bringing people together. We’re driven to keep breaking new ground and taking Indus to even greater heights, reaching newer players across the world,” he adds.

Furthermore, in a move to strengthen India’s esports ecosystem, SuperGaming has also announced its year-long Clutch India Movement.
