Continuing its strategic surge into the American market, Swedish igaming hosting giant Internet Vikings has commenced operations in the state of Illinois.

This is one of 18 compliant US states in which it has set up and begun to offer its world-class igaming hosting services.

Internet Vikings has long been considered one of the top igaming hosting service providers in Europe. It began its pivotal expansion into the US in July last year.

Having already established a firm position in 17 other states, its bold project to offer the finest in bespoke igaming hosting solutions across the country is fast becoming a reality.

The company has begun to see the fruits of its efforts in states like West Virginia, Colorado and New Jersey, where it has already attracted various clients.

Home to the iconic city of Chicago, Illinois boasts the fifth-biggest GDP in the country as well as the sixth largest population for a state. Though a latecomer to the party, it is rapidly picking up pace as it looks to open up to various forms of online gaming, having begun with online sports betting in 2019.

Seeing the radical success of online betting in the Garden State in the short time since it was legalised has spiked a big move towards full regulation in Illinois.

Although “real-money” online casinos are not legal as of yet, social gambling sites are common, offering a variety of popular table and slot games with no deposit required and the chance to win prizes or even cash.

Igaming service providers like Internet Vikings are not required to hold any kind of licence. They must simply have a client to work with in the state, of which the company already has two.
