Gaming Innovation Group has announced the appointment of former Blueprint Gaming and Gauselmann Group director Ryan Collinge as its new senior vice president of business development for Platform and Sportsbook.

A well-known and highly regarded senior figure in the industry, with more than 20 years’ experience, Collinge brings a wealth of commercial success to GiG having played a pivotal role over the last seven years delivering multi-million euro contracts for Blueprint Gaming and the Gauselmann Group in both retail and online.
As a customer relations expert, Collinge has personally spearheaded numerous high-profile contracts that have fuelled revenue growth in both new and mature regulated markets.
His reputation gained prominence after he helped initiate an MBO of Playnation with Palatine PE, before exiting the investment to Austrian strategic buyer Novomatic in 2015.
Collinge will play a pivotal role in GiG’s ambitious strategic commercial initiatives, as set out by CBO Andrew Cochrane, aimed at cementing its position in the industry, expanding global footprint and fostering sustained growth.
GiG hopes that a combination of outstanding products and the highest levels of service in the industry, all backed up by a team of the brightest and best talent igaming has to offer, will ensure it maintains its status as a pioneer in delivering cutting-edge solutions.
GiG has been attracting a significant surge in interest since the launch of its X-Suite Platform CoreX, Sportsbook SportX and AI-led features DataX and LogicX.
Leveraging the latest in AI and data based solutions, the revolutionary new technology is anchored to secure, scalable, user centric end-to-end features that are adept at maximising opportunities for operator growth.
