US.- Igaming hosting company Internet Vikings has secured an Ancillary Supplier Licence in Arizona and a Vendor Registration in New York. In the latter state, the company has partnered with a locally licensed data centre and a casino.
Rickard Vikström, founder and CEO of Internet Vikings, said: “Acquiring approval from the local authorities in Arizona and New York was pivotal for us and marks a major achievement. New York is the largest and highest-grossing sports betting market in North America, representing strategic importance for the industry. However, it was even more important to be able to bring our offering to Arizona where the number of sportsbooks keeps increasing fast.”
Kristoffer Ottosson, COO of Internet Vikings, added: “We continuously leverage our infrastructure to guarantee reliability, scalability, and security of our services and are prepared to expand to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
Internet Vikings entered the US market in 2021 and has since launched in several states, including Louisiana, Iowa and Pennsylvania.
