ThrillTech secures UK licence, unveils unique jackpot solution to regulated UK operators
Leading jackpot specialist ThrillTech is excited to announce it has secured a remote operating licence from the UK Gambling Commission.
The UK licence, widely considered the gold standard of European gambling regulation, is the latest award in ThrillTech’s commitment to compliance across the region.
The UKGC remote gambling software licence will be added to the company’s long list of European licences alongside Sweden, Romania, Malta and The Netherlands. The UK licence award also follows the recent granting of ThrillTech’s ISO 27001 certification.
ThrillTech’s groundbreaking jackpot solution, ThrillPots, is now available to UK operators, who can take advantage of the additional monetisation stream to boost GGR by up to 10%.
ThrillTech head of business development Faye Williams said: “The UK is a major market for us and we can’t wait to partner with local operators to launch bespoke jackpots in this region. The first ones are already on the way.
“As our main proposition is player-funded jackpots, we are always keen to stay ahead of the regulatory curve, while adhering to the gold standard of iGaming industry compliance.”
For example, ThrillTech developed a bespoke version of its proprietary jackpot algorithm to meet the UK market’s age-gaited stake limits for online slots, which came into force in April.
The company has also created a truly advanced multi-currency system, while linked jackpots are the latest additions to the ThrillTech feature portfolio.
“Innovation can never stop,” said Williams. “Following this latest licence award, we promise to keep pushing the limits of product performance. ThrillTech was built for the next stage of the iGaming industry.”
ThrillTech will announce its first two UK clients in the coming weeks.
ThrillTech’s ambitious expansion strategy hopes to see the company licensed in 10 global jurisdictions by the end of the year, with multiple certificates in additional markets.
Founded just two years ago, Cyprus-headquartered ThrillTech has gone from strength to strength, improving the player experience by building on its core work of monetisation and retention.

In April, the Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) has filed over 4600 reports with Meta regarding illegal advertisements. Combating illegal gambling offerings is one of the KSA’s priorities. Special attention is paid by the KSA to the marketing practices of the gambling companies, which frequently advertise on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Therefore, the KSA monitors the volume of illegal advertisements.
Illegal practices
Illegal gambling providers place many advertisements on social media. In doing so, they use names and logos of well-known Dutch athletes and major brands to enhance their credibility. It is often difficult for consumers to determine whether a gambling provider holds a license. To protect consumers, the KSA therefore makes a strong effort to combat online advertising by illegal providers. The KSA does this, among other measures, by filing reports with major media companies more frequently.
Cooperation in alliance
To tackle illegal providers on social media, the KSA works closely with various companies and organisations. During a recent meeting of the alliance, current knowledge, trends and insights were shared. Advertising on social media was a key topic, as these platforms reach a large number of people.
The working group also discussed how companies can protect their trademarks and held a brainstorming session on what else is needed to tackle illegal providers on social media. The KSA will use the outcomes of the meeting in the coming period to take even better action.
Frustrating infrastructure
In the Netherlands, online gambling is only permitted with licensed providers. The KSA’s approach to illegal offerings ranges from imposing fines to disrupting the infrastructure used by illegal providers. The online world, and social media in particular, plays a major role within this infrastructure.

Gaming Corps has secured a conditional iGaming supplier licence from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC), clearing the company to manufacture and supply gaming software in the province ahead of Alberta’s regulated market launch on 13 July 2026.
The licence was granted through Gaming Corps’ subsidiary, Gaming Corps Malta Ltd. The company said the approval positions it to enter Alberta’s regulated iGaming market from day one.
Alex Lorimer, COO at Gaming Corps said: “Securing our Alberta licence marks another important step in Gaming Corps’ regulated market expansion strategy. Canada continues to represent a key growth region for us, and we’re excited to bring our expanding portfolio of games and unique mechanics to operators and players in Alberta.”
Alberta is set to become Canada’s second regulated open iGaming market after Ontario, with the AGLC overseeing licensing and compliance requirements for operators and suppliers.

The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) has warned that the effectiveness of the financial protection measures included in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a strict crackdown on the illegal betting market.
In 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for only 0.46% of household consumption in the country — an extremely small share of the average Brazilian family budget — according to data from a study conducted by LCA Consultoria. This reinforces that the main driver of household indebtedness in Brazil continues to be the high cost of credit.
The IBJR emphasized that restricting access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to illegal platforms, which already handle around R$40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators — often linked to organized crime — from taking advantage of restriction windows to attract vulnerable consumers. This concern is heightened by the proximity of the FIFA World Cup, a period that naturally increases the volume of sports betting activity, as well as by the potential loss of R$10.8 billion in tax revenue if consumption shifts to the underground market.
IBJR reiterates that real consumer protection and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector. The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, the strengthening of responsible gaming practices, and a strategic offensive against illegal websites, ensuring that entertainment takes place exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly regulated ecosystem.
