Internet Vikings enters Colorado igaming market

Hosting company expects to launch in 11 more states before the end of the year.

Internet Vikings, a provider of igaming hosting solutions, has today announced its entrance into Colorado as the company continues its plans to rapidly expand throughout the US. This marks the second state Internet Vikings has launched its offering in this year, with the company entering West Virginia in August.  

Internet Vikings began preparations for US growth in 2020 with the opening of its US office in New York, headed by Elena Kvakova, head of US expansion. In line with this, the company plans to go live in another 11 states by the end of the year.  

"The biggest challenge for Internet Vikings was finding the right approach to a new market in which regulators did not expect such an innovative and robust business model, as well as trying to find our own niche in a newly formed legal environment,” Kvakova said. "What we have seen so far is that the licensed hosting options in the US are both limited and costly, and something which providers have to figure out, in addition to everything else. So what we’re trying to do in a few key states is to reconsider that setup, and offer equally reliable and secure services, but making them more agile and cost-effective. No other company in the USA is offering such flexible, innovative and robust solutions. We want to grow and transform alongside our clients.”  

Internet Vikings’ offering consists of a customizable hosting solution, including 24 cores, 64 GB of RAM, 500 GB storage and 50Mbit bandwidth per month.  

Speaking previously on the company’s plans, 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."
