Gaming and Gambling

With online gaming set to be one of the largest industries the world has ever seen, and currently around 20,000 online gambling sites worth around £20 billion, it’s essential that your players experience a secure, reliable and always-on service from you. It’s the differentiator that will keep your customers coming back to you, in a market with low barriers to entry and high potential rewards.

And with a network spanning 3,000km across the UK with our own low latency, diverse routes to Ireland, Geo’s network supports your business regardless of where it is based.

A secure infrastructure

Where you host your data is of critical importance to the regulators, as a high profile hack could break your bank, your brand and your players’ faith in you. As such, the infrastructure that you choose should be equally as resilient, to allow you to adopt cloud and mobile technologies without concern.

Scalability in unpredictable times and normality in predictable times

Online businesses need a 100% stable, reliable infrastructure that can not only scale to cope with the most unexpected peaks in traffic, but also one that is watertight from a regulatory perspective.

Organisations such as bet365 and banks such as ABN Amro and BNP Paribas select Geo because our fibre networks fit strategically with the online community, and we understand the regulatory environment. Scalable, dedicated fibre networks can be built with capacity in mind; suiting highly transactional, often unpredictable traffic patterns, whilst supporting a multitude of access channels including mobile betting.

What our clients say

Critical to us was accommodating all percieved growth prospects, leveraging the business continuity aspects and delivering a smooth user experience

Neil Selby, Head of Networks and Security, bet365

Your fibre network is dedicated; carrying only your traffic. Whether you opt for us to manage your network or even choose dark fibre for you to light as many wavelengths as your business dictates, it’s your fibre. Imagine, no lengthy lead times; you – or we – just simply add more equipment to provide incremental capacity.

Our 3,000km network connects over 100 data centres and exchanges, and is routed away from the usual paths for unparalleled security and diversity. Nationally it tracks the UK gas mains, and in London it is buried deep in the sewer network.

What our clients say

Geo offered us the solution we needed to provide a more scalable infrastructure to our business; our disaster recovery programme is now functioning at speeds unseen before. The peace of mind that a failsafe disaster recovery programme gives you cannot be quantified

Lynda Whitton, Technical Project Manager, Skipton Building Society

So whether your business is sports betting, gambling, multi-player social gaming, lotteries, bingo or any other online community, focus your efforts on your players’ experience and leave the infrastructure to us.
