A Winning Combination for Bwin
Since 2004 bwin have housed their equipment with Interxion Austria. When they outgrew their existing space, they conducted new research into potential data centre providers. Interxion came out on top, not just in Austria but in France as well.
Legally, the must-have location for your control database
The Dutch online gaming legislation is changing. The Dutch government has adopted the Distance Gambling Act, which will open the Dutch online gambling market by 2021. Because of compliance reasons, it is necessary to locate your control database physically in the Netherlands. This is a requirement for iGaming providers. Interxion is the only independent data centre provider that offers infrastructure and network services for iGaming in the Netherlands. Interxion provides an end-to-end solution for the online gambling industry and has the most important key certificates.
