Optimizer Invest adds iGaming platform to its portfolio

Optimizer Invest and iGaming group NIO have signed a strategic partnership with the ambition to create a leading cloud services company for iGaming.

Optimizer Invest will acquire 10 percent of the shares in NIO’s subsidiary iGamingCloud (iGC) for a consideration of EUR 1 million. The parties have a mutual right to convert the investment into NIO shares on certain conditions.
