We’re online! Yes, I know that seems obvious, but we’re sometimes a little slow to react and the stand-alone GIO website has been a long-time coming. But it’s here now, so tuck in. Over at gaminginternational.online you’ll find many of the features from past issues (as well as a few sneak peaks at some not yet published!) You’ll also find the latest news from our beloved industry as well as lots of pretty pictures that zoom in ever-so-slightly when you hover your mouse over them. And THAT took some doing from a technical point of view, I can tell you.


Anyway, sarcasm aside, some very talented people took rather a lot of trouble to bring you a new web site so


please do stop by and take a look. Hopefully it’ll also make it easier for you to share the various articles we publish in support of the igaming industry. Finally, while you’re there, please sign up for the weekly newsletter. It is – again – a fabulous addition to the growing suite of GIO-related output. Have a great month.
