We are positive that the extension of our partnership with GiG together with skin partnerships with leading international operators will enable Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City to reach its ultimate goal of becoming New Jersey’s sports betting and online gaming market leader.”

Robin Reed, CEO of GiG, said: “I am proud and delighted to have signed this agreement with our partner Hard Rock, our first inroad to sports betting in the exciting US market. It also headlines our continually strengthening partnership with Hard Rock across our iGaming ecosystem.

“It was a highly competitive pitch against the best Sportsbooks in the world, all vying to open up the US market. Hard Rock choosing GiG to power its sportsbook, is a clear statement as to the quality of our cutting-edge sports betting services at this very early stage of their roll-out.”
