Innovative Technology’s (ITL) Group Managing Director, Peter Dunlop, celebrates a quarter of a century at the company this month. From university placement to heading up this successful international company, Peter and his management team have developed, transformed, and established ITL as a leading cash handling and validation business with offices worldwide and several hundred employees.

Commenting on his impressive time at ITL, Peter said, “I feel honoured to head-up ITL and see how the company has progressed over the past 25 years. Our ethos is technology-driven, and we proudly offer our customers the most advanced cash validation, recycling and more recently, biometrics solutions in the industry. The industry is constantly changing and adapting to customers’ needs and expectations and I look forward to continuing my role and being part of its exciting future.”

Peter first joined the company on a university placement year in 1995 and was assigned to work on a project to develop a new electronic chip for use in banknote validators. Peter impressed everyone to such an extent that he was invited back to join ITL as a permanent employee after he graduated from the University of Manchester in 1996. Peter began in the Development team in Royton, UK which gradually grew over the years, and he climbed his way up the ladder, eventually becoming Development Manager responsible for a team of mechanical, electronic and software engineers and new product development. Peter then progressed to the more strategic position of Group Technical Director, before finally being promoted to Group Managing Director in 2017. Peter oversees the company’s strategic direction and the day-to-day management of the group and has been key to ITL’s success and growth due to his leadership ability and focus on technology-driven products and services.

Peter is rarely away from the UK head office in Oldham but when he does take some time out, he can be found unwinding on his boat that is moored at Pwllheli in North Wales. Peter’s boat isn’t just for relaxation purposes, he and its crew compete in a number of races on the high seas and have successfully won a number of times!

ITL Chairman, David Bellis MBE, said “Peter’s expertise, commitment and knowledge is an integral part of our success. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and it has been an honour to witness how he has developed both himself as an individual and the company over the past 25 years. He is one of my longest standing employees, an incredibly competent and capable engineer, manager and leader and I look forward to seeing where he will take the company in the coming years.”

ThrillTech and SportingTech have signed a global partnership to integrate ThrillTech’s jackpot products into the SportingTech iGaming platform, the companies said on July 7, 2026. The integration is positioned for online casino and sports betting brands using SportingTech, with a stated focus on Latin America and Africa.

Under the agreement, SportingTech operator partners will get access to ThrillTech’s flagship product, ThrillPots. The companies describe ThrillPots as a player-funded side bet that layers over existing casino and sportsbook content via a secondary, opt-in transaction.

ThrillTech said the approach is designed to avoid changing the underlying game mathematics and to limit disruption to core gameplay. SportingTech framed the deal as part of its broader strategy to expand its technology ecosystem through specialist integrations aimed at helping operators launch and differentiate faster.

Peter Mareš, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at ThrillTech, said: “Our partnership with SportingTech marks another significant milestone in our mission to make world-class jackpot technology accessible to operators worldwide. SportingTech’s robust platform and extensive footprint, particularly in dynamic regions like LatAm and Africa, make them an ideal partner and further accelerates our international rollout. Distributing multi-strategy payouts at scale requires absolute precision, and our technology is built to handle that complexity effortlessly. We are excited to see SportingTech’s operators leverage our player-funded jackpots to unlock new revenue streams and amplify their players’ experience.”

Nana Totoe, Chief Operating Officer at SportingTech, added: “At SportingTech, our focus is on giving operators the technology and partner ecosystem they need to build, expand and grow their businesses. Integrating ThrillTech’s innovative jackpot solution adds another powerful engagement capability to our platform, helping operators create more differentiated player experiences while unlocking new commercial opportunities. It’s another example of how we continue to strengthen our offering with best-in-class technology partners.”
