GiG Enhances Canadian Operations Through Ventures Lab Collaboration
In a move set to shake up Ontario's rapidly expanding online gambling scene, cutting-edge technology provider Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has announced a strategic partnership with global fintech powerhouse Ventures Lab. This collaboration aims to leverage artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to revolutionize the player experience in Canada's most populous province.
AI-Powered Gaming Comes to the Great White North
The newly inked Head of Terms agreement will see GiG deploy its state-of-the-art iGaming platform and suite of AI-driven tools, including LogicX and DataX, to bolster Ventures Lab’s operations in Ontario.
This marks GiG’s fourth major partnership in the province, solidifying its position as a key player in the region’s digital gambling ecosystem.
Carlos Strazzer, CEO of Ventures Lab, expressed enthusiasm about the deal:
“By tapping into GiG’s extensive experience in regulated markets and their pioneering technology, we’re poised to deliver an unparalleled betting experience for Ontarian players while capitalizing on the immense potential this market offers.”

A Booming Market Ripe for Innovation
The timing of this partnership couldn’t be more opportune. Recent industry reports indicate that Ontario’s iGaming market revenue skyrocketed to €3.8 billion in the 2023-24 period, representing a staggering 88% year-over-year increase. This explosive growth has attracted major players and innovators alike, all vying for a slice of the lucrative pie.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Business Officer at GiG, highlighted the strategic importance of the deal:
“This agreement aligns perfectly with our mission to empower partners with increased profitability and operational efficiency. We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in regulated markets and exceeding our ambitious growth targets.”

Future-Proofing the iGaming Landscape
The collaboration between GiG and Ventures Lab extends beyond Ontario’s borders, with both companies expressing intentions to expand their partnership into other key global markets. This forward-thinking approach comes as GiG undergoes its own evolution, recently rebranding its media division to Gentoo Media in preparation for a planned business separation.
As the iGaming industry continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, partnerships like this one between GiG and Ventures Lab may well set the standard for how technology and innovation can shape the future of online gambling.
With AI-driven engagement tools and data-centric approaches becoming increasingly crucial, Ontario’s players are set to benefit from a new era of personalized and immersive gaming experiences.
The eyes of the industry will undoubtedly be fixed on this partnership as it unfolds, potentially serving as a blueprint for similar collaborations in emerging iGaming markets worldwide.
