Welcome to the October edition of iGaming Enquirer, where innovation, strategy and leadership converge to define the future of the global iGaming industry. This issue brings together the stories of companies and individuals who are reshaping how the business of gaming operates, from infrastructure pioneers driving extraordinary growth to technology leaders building platforms designed for the next generation of operators.
We begin with Rickard Vikström, Founder and CEO of Internet Vikings, whose focused approach has turned a once-small Swedish hosting company into one of the most respected infrastructure providers in the United States. By specialising in licensed, in-state hosting for the U.S. iGaming and online sports betting market, Internet Vikings achieved an impressive 600 percent growth in just three years. Vikström explains how clarity of purpose, steady execution and an unshakeable belief in specialisation over scale helped the company establish a strong and sustainable foothold in one of the most competitive industries in the world.
Our spotlight also falls on Casumo, a brand known for challenging convention and reimagining digital entertainment. Under the leadership of Cristina Turbatu, Chief Technology Officer, Casumo has entered a transformative era of innovation centred on agility, inclusivity and data-driven creativity. Since joining in 2023, Turbatu has led a 70 percent improvement in front-end responsiveness while introducing advanced technology frameworks that allow teams to move faster, think bigger and build smarter. Her work captures the spirit of modern iGaming, an industry where technology and creativity coexist to deliver exceptional player experiences.
