Regtech orchestration platform provider, W2, has identified key statistics within their financial risk check solution to help operators understand the affordability of their customers and support player protection initiatives.

W2, the provider of leading regulatory compliance services to the gambling industry, has identified keys statistics relating to High-Cost Short-Term loans within its financial risk affordability solution. With the release of the gambling industry white paper last week, gambling operators must now prepare to implement financial risk checks when customers hit certain net loss limits.

The solution combines data assets from multiple sources at the individual, demographic, and geographic levels on a ‘where available’ basis and has been built to provide as clear a picture as possible in a way that is not intrusive to the player. Operators can customise data consumption either through API integration at onboarding, or trigger based on various markers of harm (MOH).

One of the 50+ data indicators included in the solution analyses data on High-Cost Short-Term loans. This is key data for operators to have access to as consumers who are considering using loans to pay for critical costs such as bills and debt may not have the means to gamble.

When comparing a batch trial completed in 2023 vs. 2022, the results of High-Cost Short-Term or payday loans were staggering. W2 has identified the following statistics:

  • High Interest Short Term loan enquiries to pay for bills increased by 1700%.
  • High Interest Short Term loan enquiries to pay for debt increased by 1000%.
  • High Interest Short Term loan enquiries for short term cash increased by 1050%

Warren Russell, CEO & Founder at W2 commented “The results of this batch trial when compared to data from 2022 is clear evidence that the cost-of-living crisis is hurting. The sheer number of consumers needing loans to pay for day-to-day costs is certainly the type of data which can be helpful to operators when implementing their player protection initiatives.

We are pleased that the long-awaited gambling white paper has now been released to give operators guidance on how best to comply with updated regulation. It is also promising that financial risk checks are going to play a key part in a safer gambling industry. W2’s financial risk solution has been specifically developed with the needs of gambling operators in mind, and we are looking forward to being able to provide this to the industry.”

Internet Vikings and SB Software Partnership Transforms Infrastructure Performance for iGaming Operator Editec

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the European and U.S. iGaming and online sports betting industry, and SB Software a B2B provider of iGaming platforms, share the success of their partnership in transforming performance outcomes for Editec, a multinational gaming operator serving over 20 countries and operating among others such brands as: PremierBetZone, PremierLotoZone, ZoneGold, etc. 

The Challenge: Infrastructure Bottlenecks Threaten Growth 

As Editec was growing dynamically, it required the implementation of the best available server solution. Simply adding storage was inefficient, creating persistent bottlenecks that threatened the operator’s expansion plans and the quality of the user experience.

The Turning Point: Purpose-Built iGaming Infrastructure 

SB Software, Editec’s trusted platform provider, began conversations with Internet Vikings, an established iGaming-focused hosting provider to deliver a comprehensive solution combining advanced platform capabilities with specialized hosting infrastructure to secure platform and operator’s growth. Internet Vikings implemented a VMware vSAN-based cloud solution specifically optimized for high-demand iGaming workloads. The new setup delivers up to 20,000 (input/output operations per second) per virtual machine with average throughput of 600-700 MB/s representing an enormous performance improvement over the previous solution.

“Internet Vikings stood out through their technical transparency, great account management, and understanding of the specific industry needs,” said Kamil Głowacki, CTO at SB Software. “They provided clear performance benchmarks and a detailed roadmap that addressed our client’s exact requirements.” 

Measurable Results Across Multiple Markets 

The partnership has delivered significant improvements across Editec’s operations:

Performance Enhancement: Virtual machines now handle peak loads without degradation, supporting seamless user experiences during high-traffic periods.

Operational Efficiency: Unified back-office management across all 20+ countries, with multi-language and multi-currency support, custom loyalty programs, and specialized odds management.

Scalable Architecture: Infrastructure designed to support continued growth and market expansion without performance compromise.

“SB Software’s flexibility in tailoring solutions to our business requirements has been exceptional,” added the Editec spokesperson. “Combined with Internet Vikings’ hosting expertise, we now have a technology foundation that can scale with the platform and our ambitions.” 

Industry Implications 

The successful partnership demonstrates the value of specialized providers in the iGaming sector, where standard hosting solutions often fall short of industry-specific performance requirements.  “This collaboration shows how purpose-built infrastructure and flexible platform solutions can transform operational outcomes,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings. “When hosting providers truly understand iGaming demands, operators can focus on growth rather than technical limitations.” 

For iGaming operators looking for a powerful and scalable platform supported by a hosting provider that truly feels the industry, the Editec–SB Software–Internet Vikings story shows a clear blueprint of an alliance for success.
