Key points:
- Internet Vikings’ Co-location solutions, VMware Cloud Hosting and Bare Metal Servers will be available to operators in the state
- Arkansas marks the 25th state that Internet Vikings has launched in
Internet Vikings has officially launched in Arkansas, marking the 25th state to offer the provider’s in-state hosting services for the iGaming and online sports betting markets.
Services offered by Internet Vikings include Co-location solutions, VMware Cloud Hosting and Bare Metal Servers. These solutions have been designed with scalability, compliance and reliability in mind – something critical, with the differing compliance regulations set in place for the industry state-by-state.
On this newest launch, Internet Vikings CEO and Founder Rickard Vikström said, "Launching in Arkansas is an important step in our US strategy. Our goal has always been to provide dependable hosting that aligns with the specific needs of our partners.”
Internet Vikings COO Kristoffer Ottosson added, "With every state we enter, we ensure that our support standards and customer-centricity expand with us. We look forward to building lasting relationships in Arkansas."
Good to know: Internet Vikings won the Services Provider of the Year Award at the 2022 London Global Gaming Awards.
We spoke with Vikström in the September/ October issue of Gaming America, where he told us more about the brand's US story and how it has survived, despite the surge of exits from international brands. He said, “At Internet Vikings, today, 75% of our revenues are in the US. We have increased 280% in the last two years just because of our US growth... We’re a small company from a small country that no one knew about three years ago – and we believe we have managed to become one of the most important players in the US gaming industry.”
Mobile sports betting is currently regulated in Arkansas, though iGaming has yet to become regulated. Cherokee Nation Entertainment has recently been in court following a recently passed constitution amendment in Arkansas that revoked the company’s Pope County casino license, with a federal judge striking the lawsuit down not long after.
