Internet Vikings signs long-term partnership with PlayStar Casino in the U.S.

Internet Vikings, which began its expansion into America in July and has successfully established itself in West Virginia and Colorado since then, has signed a long-term partnership with PlayStar Casino in the U.S., which will see the international hosting supplier support the Swedish online casino operator's advances into the U.S. market by providing them with bespoke iGaming-specific hosting services in New Jersey. Playstar is expected to start its operations in the Garden State early 2022.

"We are thrilled to enter this agreement with Internet Vikings to support our launch into New Jersey. Sportsbook and iGaming hosting is a very different landscape in the US compared to Europe that presents a number of challenges. This partnership allows us to get on with our core business, safe in the knowledge our technology stack is in good hands”, said PlayStar's Chief Business Development Officer Adam Noble.

" We are extremely proud for two reasons. First of all, entering New Jersey is an achievement on its own. Currently, it's the most sought after, yet difficult to enter, state in the U.S.", added Internet Vikings CEO Peter Ekmark. When it comes to online gaming, New Jersey is one of the most difficult markets to enter.  The state has some of the most expansive and complex gambling laws in the country, with multiple regulatory bodies, as well as robust licensing processes for casinos, online gaming, racing and related personnel. Before concluding: “We are very excited to continue this journey alongside our clients who place their trust in us and our products to support them at such a pivotal stage of their business lifecycle. And we are not planning to stop here. We will continue to expand and transform so that we can fulfil the needs of our clients at every step of their growth process."
