Internet Vikings will also soon launch in New Jersey, Louisiana and Arizona, among other regions.

Internet Vikings, which provides cloud-hosting technology, has today announced its expansion into the US market through the offering of licensed hosting to igaming operators in West Virginia.  

As part of its services, The Swedish company will offer customizable hosting solutions including 24 cores, 64GB of ram, 500GB of storage and 50Mbit of bandwidth per month. Following its launch in West Virginia, it will begin offering the same hosting technology in New Jersey, Louisiana, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois and Virginia, with more states to come later this year.  

"Hosting has always been our strong suit and our main product. As we were learning the ins and outs of the gambling hosting regulations and market in the USA, we noticed a few things that could be done better. And to us, a Swedish company, an agile approach and customer focus are at the forefront of everything we do,” said Elena Kvakova, head of US expansion at Internet Vikings. “That is what we are trying to do in the key states right now - set up secure, reliable, cost-effective and fully-formed hosting solutions, so that the new providers that are entering the US market will be able to focus on other things." 

The company hopes that experience in the field will allow it to differentiate itself from the competition as the technology provider enters the growing US gaming market. 

Founder and CCO of Internet Vikings, Rickard Vikström added: "We are excited to start our journey into the United States. It's a huge challenge and wonderful opportunity for us. With this expansion we want to cement our position as a leading igaming hosting provider on a global scale."
