LeoVegas moves full platform onto Google Cloud
Stockholm-listed operator says migration will reduce maintenance costs and increase scalability
LeoVegas has completed the migration of its entire gaming and service platform from physical servers in Malta onto the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
The Stockholm-listed operator said the change would make its platform much more scalable and allow the business to grow without further physical hardware investments.
LeoVegas is the first gaming business to utilise the Google platform, according to Mattias Wedar, chief product & technology officer at LeoVegas.
“Through GCP we have access to the latest technology in several different areas such as AI, serverless computing and security,” said Wedar.
“During the migration we migrated more than 28TB of data.”
The operator handles more than 1.2 billion transactions and 4 million sessions a month, while at peak playing time the firm has 10,000 concurrent players and around 115,000 transactions/minute.
LeoVegas said the Google platform also reduces maintenance work and costs when it comes to infrastructure and let it set up new development and production systems in minutes to support launches in new markets.
“This can be done in Europe to meet compliance requirements or in other continents to optimise latency in key markets,” the firm said.
While LeoVegas is the first operator to move its entire platform onto the Google Cloud, several other operators including bet365 and Paf have moved systems into the cloud to speed up the pace of development and reduce costs.
Gibraltar is currently updating its gaming regulations to allow for more cloud-based hosting of systems.
