iGaming firm Nio Inc. has entered into a share exchange agreement with Guts.com parent company Gaming Innovation Group (GiG).
The agreement will see the exchange of the entire issued share capital of Gaming Innovation Group Ltd. for shares in Nio Inc. which will lead to GiG becoming a Nio Inc. subsidiary should shareholder and regulatory approvals prevail.
Other GiG subsidiaries include platform technology provider iGamingCloud.com, online marketing firm Innovation Labs and Secure Gaming Limited (Rizk.com).

Short term, Nio and GIG will focus on synergistic effects between its B2C operator businesses Guts.com, BetSpin.Com, and Rizk.Com while ramping-up marketing activities
