Internet Vikings, a prominent hosting provider specializing in the iGaming and online sports betting sectors, has introduced a groundbreaking Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) cloud solution. This latest offering provides an innovative approach to cloud infrastructure, allowing online gaming businesses in 24 regulated U.S. states to scale their operations dynamically without cumbersome provisioning processes or long-term commitments.
In an industry characterized by fluctuating demand, the ability to adjust hosting resources quickly is crucial. The new PAYG cloud service from Internet Vikings eliminates traditional barriers to scaling infrastructure, allowing iGaming businesses to expand their capacity in real-time. This means that iGaming and sports betting operators no longer need to overestimate their resource needs or commit to rigid hosting plans. Instead, they can optimize their operations by adding resources as needed, paying only for what they use during peak periods.
“We understand the need for flexibility, especially for businesses that experience fluctuating demands,” said Kristoffer Ottosson, COO of Internet Vikings. “By removing the standard barriers to scaling cloud resources, we’re giving our clients the freedom to right-size their environments without operational delays.”
This new offering from Internet Vikings represents the first of its kind in the U.S. iGaming and online sports betting markets. The PAYG model supports rapid deployment, making it easier for businesses to respond to increased workloads while maintaining cost efficiency.
On-Demand Cloud Hosting to Drive Agility
The PAYG cloud service offers a strategic advantage to companies that experience varying operational demands. Whether it’s during high-traffic events or significant product launches, businesses can seamlessly scale up their infrastructure without the need for pre-approval or lengthy provisioning processes. This agility is essential in a sector where speed and performance directly impact user experience and profitability.
Rickard Vikström, founder and CEO of Internet Vikings, highlighted the importance of agility in today’s fast-paced iGaming industry: “Businesses can now remain agile by scaling in real-time. This aligns with our mission to provide top-tier hosting solutions that develop alongside the customers. We believe this feature will improve the way businesses leverage cloud hosting.”
The new offering also allows businesses to adhere to existing contractual commitments while taking advantage of the flexibility to increase work capacity during high-demand periods. By offering on-demand resources, Internet Vikings’ solution is designed to enhance both performance and cost management, making it a valuable asset for operators navigating the complexities of the U.S. market.
A Strategic Expansion in the U.S. Market
The launch of the PAYG cloud solution comes as part of Internet Vikings’ broader strategy to expand its footprint across the U.S. The company, which already offers cloud hosting in several key markets, recently extended its services to New York and Mississippi. Although these states have yet to fully legalize iGaming, Internet Vikings is positioning itself to be a leader in these regions once the regulatory landscape evolves.
Additionally, Internet Vikings has joined the Indian Gaming Association (IGA), further broadening its reach into new markets. The company views this membership as an opportunity to forge long-term partnerships with tribal gaming operators and bring its innovative hosting solutions to a wider audience.
