Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet is deepening its existing partnership with Stockholm-based game studio Thunderkick to launch the developer’s unique, engaging slot titles in Ontario.

The Canadian province is one of the most exciting regulated markets in North America, and the Ontario players will now gain access to Thunderkick’s full portfolio of highly acclaimed games via SkillOnNet-powered online casino brands such as PlayOJO, SlotsMagic, and SpinGenie.

Thunderkick is known for its independent, boundary-pushing slot games like Pink Elephants, Esqueleto Explosivo, and Beat the Beast and has established a strong reputation for creativity and originality in the iGaming space. The deal allows the studio to further expand its global footprint while giving Ontario players the chance to enjoy a fresh wave of premium content.

Ontario’s regulated online gaming market, which officially opened in 2022, has quickly become a key market for the iGaming industry, and SkillOnNet was among the first brands to secure licensing in the province. The expansion reinforces SkillOnNet’s commitment to delivering top-tier entertainment in regulated markets globally.

Jani Kontturi at SkillOnNet said: “Thunderkick has been a key partner of ours in other markets, and we’re delighted to bring their outstanding content to Ontario. This region is fast becoming a vital part of our operations, and we’re confident players here will respond just as positively to Thunderkick’s games as they have elsewhere.”

Mariam Dodosh, Account Manager at Thunderkick said: “We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with SkillOnNet and enter the Ontario market together. Our games have a track record of strong performance, and we’re excited to see them go live in one of the most dynamic new regions in iGaming.”

SkillOnNet extends 1X2 Network partnership into Ontario

Global gaming brand SkillOnNet has unleashed content onto its Ontario network from Iron Dog Studio, Prospect Gaming, AD LUNAM and 1X2gaming, studios under the umbrella of the UK-based online casino software giant 1X2 Network.

Ontarians are now able to enjoy 1X2 Network’s unique portfolio of casino titles, on SkillOnNet’s Ontario brands like PlayOJO, SlotsMagic, SpinGenie and KnightsSlots.

These include hot new Prospect Gaming and Iron Dog Studio content like the Arriba Heat series, Mr Porky Banker, and 1X2’s own Prospector Wilds series, as well as popular classics like Megaways Jack, Aztec Secrets and Book of Merlin.

The deal is an extension of the existing partnership between the two gaming powerhouses which has proved fruitful in other jurisdictions across the world. It also extends 1X2 Network’s presence in Ontario, having first launched its content in the provincial market in September 2022.

Both companies have grown their global footprints significantly over the past few years and now have a localised presence in multiple regulated international markets.  SkillOnNet operates more than 30 online casinos in numerous jurisdictions across the globe, while providing turnkey solutions to top brands worldwide.

The deal will further bolster the SkillOnNet platform in Ontario, which offers an incredible selection of third-party games from the biggest casino software providers in the world.

Jani Kontturi at SkillOnNet said: “1X2 Network is an iGaming pioneer whose phenomenal output over the past two decades has been an example to us all. They’re a trusted partner, and we’re glad we can help to grow their presence in Ontario. We hope to be entering new regulated markets as partners for years to come.”

Christopher Reid at 1X2 Network said: “SkillOnNet is behind some of the biggest brands in iGaming, and together our partnership makes us both a powerful force in the industry. Thanks to SkillOnNet’s tirelessly global outlook, our games are always reaching a wider audience.”
