Internet Vikings to provide tailored infrastructure solutions in Sweden and Malta as ScatterKings transitions from hyperscale setup
Strategic Infrastructure Overhaul
ScatterKings has finalized a significant hosting partnership with Internet Vikings, marking a pivotal shift in the operator's technical infrastructure strategy. The agreement, announced today, will see Internet Vikings deliver customized hosting solutions across key European regulated markets, specifically Sweden and Malta.
The partnership represents a calculated move by ScatterKings to transition away from its previous hyperscale hosting arrangement in favor of a more adaptable technical environment. The new infrastructure combines bare metal servers with VMware cloud solutions, creating a hybrid architecture designed to support ScatterKings' multi-jurisdictional operational requirements.
Technical Flexibility Drives Decision
According to Steven Batchelor-Manning, CTO at ScatterKings, the decision to partner with Internet Vikings was driven by specific technical and operational considerations:
"We've been genuinely impressed with the level of support from Internet Vikings," Batchelor-Manning stated. "They've helped us avoid the usual hosting headaches and given us a rock-solid base to move fast. As we continue to grow, we see them as a strategic partner for the road ahead—one that can keep pace with our ambitions."
The migration away from hyperscale architecture reflects a growing trend among mid-tier operators seeking more responsive technical support and infrastructure flexibility that can be tailored to specific regulatory environments.
Regulated Market Specialization
Internet Vikings has been systematically expanding its footprint in the regulated iGaming hosting sector. This partnership with ScatterKings aligns with the company's broader strategy of specializing in compliant hosting solutions specifically designed for gambling operators navigating complex regulatory frameworks.
Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings, emphasized the customized approach: "ScatterKings needed a hosting solution that could adapt to their specific operational requirements. We're committed to supporting their growth with infrastructure that evolves alongside their business."
Part of Broader Expansion Strategy
The ScatterKings deal represents the latest in a series of strategic partnerships for Internet Vikings, which has been aggressively expanding its regulated market presence. Recent collaborations include partnerships with Games Global to strengthen in-state hosting capabilities, SB Software to support Editec's operations, and the launch of a new data center in Belgium to expand its European hosting footprint.
Industry analysts note that Internet Vikings' focus on regulated iGaming hosting has been particularly successful in the U.S. market, where state-by-state compliance requirements create significant technical challenges for operators.
The partnership underscores the growing importance of specialized hosting providers who understand the unique technical and regulatory demands of the iGaming sector, particularly as operators seek more agile infrastructure solutions that can adapt to rapidly evolving market conditions.
