Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has signed a long-term agreement with Skycity Malta Limited, a subsidiary of New Zealand-based Skycity Entertainment Group, for the provision of its turnkey online casino solution including a gambling licence.
The turnkey solution includes the technical platform, fully managed services, gaming content, front-end development, CRM, compliance and marketing. GiG will operate the online casino site from Malta on behalf of Skycity, offering online gambling to consumers in New Zealand.
GiG will support the expansion of Skycity’s growth in its new vertical of online casino, powered by GiG’s technology, flexible architecture and industry know-how.

Graeme Stephens, CEO of Skycity, said: “Skycity is delighted to be partnering with GiG to establish an online casino offering, based in Europe. Growing and diversifying our earnings is a key component of our group strategic plan and developing an online presence to complement our existing land-based casinos in New Zealand will enable us to offer an enhanced gaming proposition for customers.
