SharpLink Gaming Ltd., a pioneer of targeted, data-driven user engagement and conversion solutions for the emerging U.S. sports betting and iGaming industries, announced that SharpLink has expanded its technology collaboration with Quintar Inc. to provide for the integration of SharpLink’s C4 sports betting conversion capabilities into Quintar’s q.Reality-enabled Metaverse experiences in legalized sports betting states.
Quintar is the world’s first fan technology platform company to enable live sports Metaverse experiences; and recently announced that it is partnering with a major telecommunications company to change the way fans watch live sports by allowing access to augmented reality (AR) content in arenas and sports venues as the games are being played using its partner’s 5G network. Quintar has named SharpLink Gaming as its sports betting integration partner to provide real-time sports betting content and conversion tools for fans to become sports bettors through Quintar’s Metaverse platform.

Bloomberg Intelligence reports that the Metaverse may reach $800 billion in market value by 2024, and quoted an industry source saying, “Seven of the eleven largest companies in the world have set their future on the Metaverse. And with good reason. We believe the Metaverse will be the most consequential technology trend of the coming two decades.”
Jeff Jonas, Co-Founder, President and Chief Business Officer of Quintar, stated, “As the U.S. sports betting market continues to mature and expand, combining immersive Metaverse experiences with real-time, personalized betting offers is sure to become very popular with – and in demand by – passionate and casual sports fans, alike. We are thrilled to expand our partnership with SharpLink Gaming’s proven and talented sports gaming engineers and technologists to help ensure that we remain at the leading edge of innovation in sports, gaming and entertainment experiences for the Metaverse.”
“In development for over two years and validated in real world applications by major sports leagues and sportsbooks, SharpLink’s C4 sports betting conversion solution – built from the ground up and designed specifically for the U.S. sports betting market – is helping to distinguish SharpLink as a trusted source and the obvious choice for high performance digital solutions that deliver quantifiable results for our valued customers and partners, like Quintar,” noted Rob Phythian, Co-Founder and CEO of SharpLink.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
