GiG scores sportsbook deal with Angola’s Full Games SA

The agreement represents GiG’s first sportsbook and platform deal in Africa, as well as the first arrangement that combines the offering from both GiG and Sportnco Gaming, which it acquired last month. 

The contract, which will run for five years and is due to go live in the third quarter, will also grant Full Games SA access to GiG’s end-to-end suite of turnkey managed services.

Full Game SA runs as a joint venture between Grupo Valisa, one of the largest retail groups for gaming in Spain, and local partner Grupo Chamavo, which specialises in financial and business management.

“We are really excited to launch our betting and gaming offer soon in Angola,” Full Games SA chairman Francisco Simão Júnior said. “We think that Sportnco and GiG is the perfect fit to leverage our gaming licence and offer a very attractive gaming solution to all punters from Angola.”

Sportnco Gaming Group managing director Hervé Schlosser added: “The opportunity to implement our sportsbook and PAM in Angola, a fresh and dynamic market, where we see tremendous potential, is a true testament to the Sportnco reputation and the strength of the partnership and offering we now have in combining Sportnco and GiG’s technology, people and service offering. 

“I am extremely proud that we are one of the early movers and one of the first to secure a partnership there. We are looking forward to working with and building a long-term relationship with Full Games SA.”
