Internet Vikings, a licensed in-state hosting provider for iGaming and online sports betting, has received official approval from the Arizona Department of Gaming to launch its VMware-based private cloud hosting solutions. This achievement allows the company to provide secure and scalable hosting for licensed operators taking sports betting wagers across Arizona, fully complying with the Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C).

This builds on Internet Vikings’ success in May 2023, when the company became the first online sports betting hosting provider fully licensed in Arizona. The VMware cloud solutions provided by Internet Vikings meet the regulatory and operational demands of the market, ensuring operators in the state can count on compliant infrastructure.

“Our VMware cloud hosting solutions are designed to support the iGaming and online sports betting markets with the highest levels of performance, security, and compliance. The team is pleased to continuously meet the requirements set forth by the states, and this most recent authorization in Arizona is a great step forward for us,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings.

“By offering private cloud hosting on VMware, Internet Vikings ensures clients have access to assured redundancy, disaster recovery, and on-demand scaling. This technology provides exceptional resource optimization and our team is ready to support businesses in taking full advantage of its features,” said Kristoffer Ottosson, COO at Internet Vikings.

With a presence now firmly established in Arizona, Internet Vikings continues supporting online sports betting operators in complying with state regulations while delivering the infrastructure best suited to the customers needs.

Internet Vikings, a licensed in-state cloud hosting provider for iGaming and online sports betting and EveryMatrix, a leading technology provider delivering iGaming software, solutions, content, and services, are expanding their partnership in West Virginia to meet stringent regulatory requirements and strengthen disaster recovery capabilities.

West Virginia regulations require iGaming companies to maintain a physically separate, redundant data center within the state to guarantee service continuity. EveryMatrix, already leveraging Internet Vikings’ hosting solutions in West Virginia, has chosen to utilize their geographically separate secondary data center for complete redundancy.

“We are happy to build upon our existing partnership with EveryMatrix,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings. “Our disaster recovery capabilities and state-specific compliance, combined with our customer-focused solutions, position us perfectly to support EveryMatrix’s continued success in West Virginia.”

Customers expect uninterrupted service, and physical redundancy ensures a reliable and consistent user experience. EveryMatrix has demonstrated an assurance to high availability and security, enhancing the operator’s already stellar reputation.

Internet Vikings recognized the need for a second West Virginia data center back in 2023 to provide the state’s first opportunity for physical redundancy. In response to the heightened risk posed by ransomware attacks and the significant financial losses they can cause, disaster recovery has emerged as a priority and regulatory must-have within the state. This expanded partnership demonstrates Internet Vikings’ unique value proposition. The company is an ideal choice for any iGaming operator or supplier seeking a reliable, separate, redundant hosting provider within West Virginia.

EveryMatrix’s recent recognition as the MiGEA Malta iGaming Excellence Award winner for Best Casino Provider of the Year 2024 further emphasizes their exceptional experiences in the iGaming markets. Their choice in Internet Vikings as their hosting partner confirms the importance of a strong and reliable foundation for achieving these goals.

Internet Vikings, a licensed in-state cloud hosting provider for iGaming and online sports betting, announced the expansion of its successful partnership with PlayAGS, Inc. (NYSE: AGS), a leading supplier of high-performing slot, table, and interactive products and services to the global gaming industry. Under the agreement, Internet Vikings will continue to provide hosting services, further bolstering AGS’s infrastructure and deepening their cooperation.

AGS, renowned for its superior interactive gaming experiences, demonstrates quality beyond game development, as evidenced by their choice in partnerships. Aligning with their ambitious industry objectives, AGS, recently honored as the SBC North America Rising Star in Casino, has selected Internet Vikings’ hosting solutions.

“Partnering with Internet Vikings enhances our capabilities, ensuring our games run even more smoothly. Internet Vikings consistently delivers exceptional service, and we are confident this partnership will further elevate the gaming experience for our players”, observes Antony Ellis, CTO of AGS Interactive.

Internet Vikings CEO Rickard Vikström adds, “Our partnership reflects a shared vision of focus and reliability. Both companies are primed to lead the U.S. market and beyond. Their forward-thinking approach to gaming technology challenges us to continually raise the bar and deliver exceptional hosting solutions.”
