15 December 2025 – Independent slots studio Thunderkick has taken another significant step in strengthening its North American market position after striking an agreement with operator PointsBet in Ontario.
The latest deal follows a series of commercial partnerships forged since Thunderkick entered the Canadian market 18 months ago, as the studio continues to build momentum in the emerging province and firmly establish its North American footprint.
Founded in Australia in 2017, PointsBet has secured a strong foothold in Ontario following the launch of the province’s regulated market in 2022. The integration of Thunderkick’s slots will further support PointsBet’s growth strategy and underlines both companies’ shared commitment to delivering high-quality content to players across Ontario.
The initial lineup of Thunderkick titles launching with PointsBet includes Carnival Queen 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, with a wider rollout of the studio’s portfolio planned to follow.
As an official partner of the Toronto Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs, PointsBet has built extensive audience reach and a strong Canadian identity through its brand collaborations. Thunderkick is well positioned to benefit from this exposure as it continues to expand its presence in the Ontario market.
Svante Sahlström, Chief Commercial Officer at Thunderkick, said:
“Since its Canadian launch, PointsBet has forged relationships rooted in the country’s cultural identity, which firmly aligns with Thunderkick’s core philosophy of going deeper, not wider.
It is a reputable and recognised brand across the globe, and we look forward to supporting its continued North American growth with our class-leading content.”
Brooke Hilton, Head of Casino at PointsBet Canada, added:
“PointsBet has made a point of distinguishing itself from the crowd, from our local on-the-ground presence in Ontario to our premium online casino portfolio.
We strive to partner with the very best, and when it comes to casino content, the addition of Thunderkick’s popular slots will enable us to continue providing players across the province with diverse, impactful gaming experiences.”
