GiG (Gaming Innovation Group)
Mobile-first casino and sportsbook platform certified directly in Spain, alongside several other EU and US markets.
GiG (Gaming Innovation Group), founded in 2008, is the only platform in this comparison that discloses direct certification in Spain itself, alongside the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, a New Jersey CSIE licence, and certifications in Sweden, Iowa, Croatia, and Latvia. Its platform is marketed as mobile-first with a real-time, no-code rules engine for compliance configuration and omnichannel player-account tools.
GiG's own public materials are lighter on specifics than some peers here: no game-catalog number, named payment provider, or named reference client is disclosed on the pages we reviewed, even though its regulatory footprint is unusually well documented.
Important caveat specific to this site: GiG's Spain certification concerns the platform vendor's own compliance status, not market access for an operator using it. As covered in our companion market-entry guide, Spain's regulated market has been M&A-only since 2018 — no platform vendor's certification, including GiG's, changes that for an operator.

Strengths
- Only platform in this six-way comparison with disclosed Spain-specific certification.
- Broad, well-documented multi-jurisdiction footprint spanning Europe and a US state (New Jersey).
- Named technical compliance standards (GLI33, GLI16, ISO 27001) rather than vague claims.
Considerations
- No disclosed game-catalog size, named payment providers, or named reference clients on the pages reviewed — the thinnest disclosure of specifics among this group outside of licensing.
- Team size not disclosed.
- Spain certification applies to the vendor, not to an operator's own market-access status, which still requires the M&A route covered elsewhere on this site.
Best For
Operators who want a platform vendor with directly documented Spain-relevant certification as one data point among several, understanding that it does not solve Spanish market entry on its own.
