Internet Vikings Reinforces Its Position in Pennsylvania with ODDSworks Partnership
Global iGaming and online sports betting hosting supplier Internet Vikings continue their growth in Pennsylvania after entering yet another partnership; this time with the U.S. games provider ODDSworks.
“It is with great pleasure that Internet Vikings announces their ongoing collaboration with ODDSworks”, Rickard Vikström, Founder and CEO. ”As a services provider, it is extremely rewarding to be a part of this aspiring company’s growth journey.”
ODDSworks was founded in 2020 and brings together 100+ years of experience in land-based and online gaming industries. They provide games to legal and regulated gaming jurisdictions using their state-of-the-art Remote Gaming Server.
The all-American gaming content provider already had a significant presence across the U.S. market prior to this alliance, however, they were aiming to extend it even further. As part of ODDSworks’ expansion throughout the country, the company has chosen to partner up with Internet Vikings in Pennsylvania. As per agreement, the latter, already well-established in this state, would be delivering their specialized cloud hosting services to the client starting as of summer 2022.
Steven DeMar, Executive Vice President at ODDSworks, is delighted to work with Internet Vikings and hopes that partnerships in more states will follow. “It is of great value to us that Internet Vikings offers a reliable total turnkey solution for each new market we enter”, DeMar states.
“Pennsylvania was one of the first states to open its doors to online casinos and sports betting. Today, it features some of the most renowned names within the industry, and still holds immense potential”, Vikström continues.” Hence, it was no coincidence that it was imperative to establish our operations there as soon as possible. It is also a very logical choice for B2B games and platform providers such as ODDSworks.”
Internet Vikings’ COO Kristoffer Ottosson supports his statement by adding: “Pennsylvania is an important pillar for iGaming and online sports betting businesses. We already have multiple clients there and are well familiar with specifics and complexities of this state. That is why, when the next company is ready to embrace the opportunities provided by this lucrative market, we will be there to support them.”
