Stockholm-based independent slots developer Thunderkick has made a substantial step in broadening its presence in the Netherlands by forming a strategic partnership with the well-established online casino operator 711.nl. This partnership signifies an important milestone in Thunderkick's strategy to increase its foothold in the Dutch iGaming market, enhancing its already impressive global expansion efforts in 2024.
Through this collaboration, 711.nl will gain access to an array of Thunderkick’s top slots games, giving its players the opportunity to explore popular titles. The integration of these games will be facilitated by Bragg, a renowned content aggregation platform, ensuring smooth and efficient delivery.
This move by Thunderkick aims to not only diversify 711.nl's gaming offerings but also to reinforce the company's reputation as a provider of engaging, high-quality slot games in regulated markets. Dutch players can look forward to exciting experiences with selections like Pink Elephants, Midas Golden Touch 2, and Xterminate.
Fredrik Ekholm, Thunderkick's Head of Sales, highlighted the importance of the agreement, saying: “Enhancing our presence in the Netherlands was a major target of Thunderkick’s coming into 2024, and the partnership with 711.nl marks a huge step towards achieving that goal. 711.nl has showcased a desire to put players at the centre of what they do, and the inclusion of Thunderkick slots in their portfolio will no doubt improve the customer experience.”
This announcement follows shortly after the company made public the promotion of Johanna Backlund to Head of Marketing. With over two decades of industry experience, Backlund is expected to focus on elevating the company's visibility in various markets worldwide.
Enhancing Gaming Experiences at 711.nl
711.nl, known for its strong collection of slots and live casino games from top suppliers, continues to build its reputation as a trusted name in the Dutch market. The integration of Thunderkick’s innovative slot games into its lineup is set to further strengthen its platform and enhance gaming experiences for its players.
Gilles De Backer, Chief Operating Officer at 711.nl, shared his excitement about the partnership: “Thunderkick creates games that capture players’ attention, and we can’t wait to incorporate these into 711.nl’s ever-expanding catalogue. Their games not only look great, but are also packed with exciting mechanics and features which we’re sure will resonate with our player base.”
This collaboration exemplifies the commitment of both companies to deliver top-notch gaming experiences. Thunderkick’s pioneering slot mechanics, combined with 711.nl’s focus on putting players first, make this partnership a remarkable advancement in the Dutch iGaming sector.
Acquisition of Danish License and Future Prospects
Beyond its extension into the Dutch market, Thunderkick has also achieved a key milestone by obtaining a B2B license from the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden). This license authorizes Thunderkick to continue supplying content to Danish operators until 2029, reinforcing the company’s dedication to maintaining and expanding its presence in regulated European markets.
Being among the first game providers to secure this newly introduced license positions Thunderkick advantageously within the Danish gaming landscape. Already recognized across significant European jurisdictions, this licensing achievement further establishes Thunderkick's role as a formidable player in the region's iGaming industry.
The Stockholm-based studio aims to leverage its reputation in Denmark and continue its mission of becoming a leading supplier of unique and innovative gaming content. This development reflects Thunderkick's strategic focus on expanding its influence both within Europe and globally.
