GAN and Internet Vikings Partner up in Fifteen U.S. States
The ongoing collaboration between a leading online gaming platform provider GAN and global hosting supplier Internet Vikings is being propelled further. As of October 2022, the companies which had been working together in two U.S. states since spring, partnered up in additional thirteen U.S. states, extending their operations to the most important American and online sports betting markets.
“This cooperation is the start of a significant partnership for both parties, and we are looking forward to scaling in more states.”, Rickard Vikström, Founder and CEO of Internet Vikings.
UK-born leading B2B supplier of gambling SaaS solutions GAN began working with Internet Vikings in April 2022 as part of their U.S. expansion. The latter is the first nationwide iGaming hosting provider approved in Nevada.
Rickard continues by explaining: “Initially, the emerging U.S. iGaming and online sports betting market was considered extremely hard to enter. However, the rapid progress of our project has demonstrated that success in the United States is possible with the right partner at hand.”
The global hosting supplier Internet Vikings commenced their operations in the U.S. in early 2021. Since then, the B2B iGaming and online sports betting hosting provider has been adding one American state after another to their services portfolio. Today, the spectrum of its operations includes all major U.S. markets, and the company is determined to keep the tempo in the future.
Blake Riley, Director of B2B Sports Project Management at GAN, also emphasizes the importance of their partnership. “Since the beginning of our agreement, Internet Vikings has proven to be a reliable and valuable partner. Their services complement our goals, and their support is a great asset to our business driving growth and maximizing our potential in the U.S. market.”
Internet Vikings’ Founder and CEO concluded that this partnership has laid a solid groundwork for other industry-related, both European and local, enterprises who wish to expand into and across the U.S. market.
