Thunderkick is building momentum across multiple markets with a pair of new partnerships aimed at expanding its slot portfolio’s reach. By joining forces with both established operators and modern distribution platforms, the studio is positioning itself for deeper penetration in key regions.
Thunderkick Expands Global and Italian Presence Through Strategic Partnerships
Thunderkick is ramping up its international presence through a new partnership with Elantil, an emerging marketplace platform connecting operators and suppliers without traditional barriers like revenue-share agreements or hidden fees. The deal allows Thunderkick’s full slot suite to be accessed by operators across Elantil’s global network, with a particular focus on regulated markets in Europe and Latin America.
Through Elantil, operators can integrate Thunderkick titles such as Esqueleto Explosivo 3, Midas Golden Touch 3, and The Wildos 2. This move gives the Stockholm-based studio broader reach and increased visibility in competitive markets.
“Both Elantil and Thunderkick are challenging norms in our respective verticals,” said Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick. “This partnership opens up access to a global operator base, giving our content a greater platform in regulated regions.”
John Debono, CTO at Elantil, echoed that sentiment, saying the collaboration reflects Elantil’s mission to streamline connections between operators and suppliers without extra costs. “Thunderkick’s content is in demand worldwide, and their addition brings further diversity to our marketplace,” Debono said.
Elantil’s platform also supports sportsbook solutions, payment providers, and KYC services, allowing operators to form partnerships across different layers of the industry with minimal friction. In recent months, Elantil has added major suppliers including Alea, Sumsub, Swintt, and Tequity, with integration timelines measured in hours rather than days.
Italian Expansion: Thunderkick Teams Up with Domusbet
This broader momentum follows a content supply agreement signed earlier this year between Thunderkick and Domusbet, a licensed operator in Italy. The deal gave Domusbet access to several popular Thunderkick titles, including Pink Elephants, Midas Golden Touch, and the original Esqueleto Explosivo.
Thunderkick has been actively growing its footprint in the Italian market, previously sealing similar partnerships with CasinoMania and Netwin. The company also appointed a dedicated local account manager as part of its push to serve Italian players more effectively.
Andrea Brioschi, Key Account Manager at Thunderkick, described the Domusbet partnership as part of a targeted approach. “We’re focusing on working with operators that already have strong brand recognition in Italy,” he said.
Domusbet’s Casino Manager, Salvatore Grippaldi, welcomed the addition, saying the new games would bring variety to their existing portfolio while keeping quality high. Rollout of the Thunderkick titles is being staggered, with more expected later this year.
As the iGaming landscape in Europe evolves, Thunderkick continues to lock in partners that help extend its reach—whether through traditional operators like Domusbet or newer platforms like Elantil that are redefining how suppliers and operators interact.
