GLI Group Buys Out iTech Labs Shares

The GLI Group has completed a takeover of iTech Global by purchasing its remaining shares. This is in order to expand the expertise offered by the company and to strengthen its reach in the gambling industry.

Its business will continue to operate independently of the GLI Group and there are currently no plans to change how the company operates, its structure or its employees. However, iTechLabs will work with the back office staff of GLI to improve its commercial results and bring on more clients.

This acquisition is also good news for customers of iTechLabs as they will get the wealth of knowledge and experience that GLI Labs has to offer plus, it is a well-known regulator around the world and operates in many jurisdictions. This can help to ensure that any licensure processes operate smoothly.
