Internet Vikings and PlayStar Extend Hosting Agreement in New Jersey

United States. This collaboration, ongoing since 2021, has been instrumental in establishing PlayStar’s infrastructure for its operations in New Jersey, a key regulated iGaming market. Through the renewed agreement, Internet Vikings will continue to PlayStar’s efforts to deliver a dynamic and reliable gaming experience to players in the state.

This renewal underscores the long-standing relationship between the two companies. Since their initial collaboration, Internet Vikings has consistently delivered flexible and scalable solutions tailored to PlayStar’s unique operational demands. This has been crucial as PlayStar solidified its foothold in New Jersey, especially through a strategic market access deal with Ocean Resort Casino in 2022, allowing the operator to offer its platform to New Jersey’s expanding player base.

Growing Through Strategic Partnerships and Expansions

PlayStar’s ongoing work with Internet Vikings is only one part of its wider strategy in Relax Gaming, a provider that initially entered the New Jersey market in December 2023. This agreement brings a fresh array of iGaming titles to PlayStar’s platform, enhancing options for local players.

Additionally, PlayStar secured a deal with renowned content provider Play’n Go to further expand its catalog of online games. These strategic alliances complement the core infrastructure PlayStar receives from Internet Vikings, ensuring the casino can deliver a top-notch, immersive gaming experience in the highly competitive U.S. market.

“We need partners who are equally committed to our vision,”said Peter Ekmark, CEO of PlayStar. “Internet Vikings has helped us achieve our goals, providing the kind of adaptability and customer-centric that allow us to grow without limits.”

Ekmark’s statement highlights the importance of reliable and flexible hosting partners in PlayStar’s growth strategy, particularly as the company looks to expand into additional U.S. jurisdictions in the future.

The renewed deal with PlayStar comes as Internet Vikings unveils a significant new product offering designed to improve cloud scalability for iGaming operators. Earlier this month, Internet Vikings launched a “Pay-as-You-Go” cloud infrastructure option, a solution that lets customers scale their resources on-demand without lengthy provisioning processes. The system is now available across 24 regulated gaming markets, presenting operators with a flexible and efficient approach to managing their hosting needs.

This innovative offering could be an additional asset for PlayStar as it expands its reach in the U.S. iGaming sector, particularly in markets where demand fluctuates based on player activity and regulatory requirements. By providing more efficient and adaptable cloud solutions, Internet Vikings reaffirms its commitment to empowering operators like PlayStar to meet market demands while maintaining optimal service standards.

Rickard Vikström, Founder and CEO of Internet Vikings, noted,“We have always believed in providing not just hosting, but a solution that aligns with our partners’ vision and long-term growth plans. We look forward to continuing this collaboration.” His comments emphasize the value Internet Vikings places on customized, partner-focused solutions—an approach that has become a cornerstone of its reputation in the iGaming hosting sector.

Broadening iGaming Infrastructure in the U.S.

Internet Vikings’ relationship with PlayStar is part of a larger strategy to online gaming operators across the United States. In another recent expansion, Internet Vikings signed an agreement with EveryMatrix, a deal focused on bolstering infrastructure and ensuring regulatory compliance in West Virginia. As part of this initiative, Internet Vikings provides EveryMatrix with access to a secondary data center in West Virginia, enabling seamless service continuity and compliance in this emerging iGaming market.

Internet Vikings, with its licensing and expertise in iGaming and sports betting, positions itself as a valuable partner for online casinos and gaming companies seeking reliable hosting solutions in regulated U.S. states. Its focus on providing geographically separate data center options aligns well with the compliance needs of companies entering regulated markets like West Virginia and New Jersey.
