GiG’s Vendor registration in Tennessee is the latest authorisation to be added to its list of vendor registrations and licences in the US, strengthening GiG’s media business, GIG Media. This enables GiG Media to expand its presence in the United States, reflecting its continuous ambition to be an influential player within the US market.
GiG Media is now present in nine US states through its flagship US-facing sports betting website World Sports Network, WSN.com (New Jersey, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Iowa, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada and Tennessee), while it’s online casino guide Casino Tops Online (casinotopsonline.com) also boasts licences in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, following the intent of having a diverse market approach and leveraging on the full force of GiG Media.

This was followed in December 2019 by a certificate of registration for sports wagering in Indiana. In 2020, GiG secured a service provider authorisation from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to provide affiliate services in the Keystone State and was granted a sports betting licence in Colorado. It was also granted a sports wagering supplier interim licence in West Virginia.
Jonas Warrer, Managing Director of GiG Media, said “ This is an exciting time for GiG Media, we are delighted to strengthen our position in the US with this licence approval in Tennessee. World Sports Network ( WSN.com) continues to gain momentum in the US market and having a presence in Tennessee provides us with a fantastic opportunity to help our partners convert more visitors into key players.”

Increase Redirect Speed by 5 Times with Affilka New Feature
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, introduces a new Geo-Distributed Redirect feature of Affilka by SOFTSWISS that helps operators improve engagement and conversion rates by reducing user redirect times.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature intelligently routes users to destination landing pages via regional clusters closest to their location. This geo-optimised infrastructure minimises redirect times, increasing successful website visits from referral links. The feature is designed for seamless scalability across multiple regions and enhances performance globally, wherever needed.
With the new feature, Affilka by SOFTSWISS reduced redirect duration by 2.5 to 5 times. At one of the regions, for example, extensive simulated tests showed a decrease in redirect times for users from 1.5 seconds to 300-500 milliseconds – this is one of the fastest responses available in the market. As a result, the feature implementation leads to a 3.5% to 7% growth in users successfully reaching casino sites. This increase in site traffic, in turn, directly contributes to more registrations and deposits.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature boosts conversions, accelerates redirects, enhances fault tolerance and high availability, and improves service reliability for users globally. Even during unexpected challenges, the system dynamically reroutes traffic to alternative resources, ensuring a seamless experience.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, shares his excitement: “With the launch of our Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, we are addressing the needs of clients targeting users worldwide. By reducing redirection times and increasing reliability, we enable our partners to deliver a superior user experience that drives traffic delivery and conversions. This feature is a significant improvement for customers looking to expand their global reach.”
Along with affiliate marketing, SEO website advancement helps operators promote their projects. Considering this, SOFTSWISS issued a comprehensive Casino SEO Audit: The Ultimate Guide, providing tips for increasing any iGaming project’s visibility.
The SOFTSWISS team looks forward to sharing the details of the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature and other product updates at the upcoming SiGMA Europe Expo. Current and potential partners can book a meeting with company representatives at stand 2145 through the contact form.
