Thunderkick has expanded its European market presence through an agreement with Finland’s state-owned gambling operator Veikkaus.
Titles from the Swedish slots studio, such as Esqueleto Explosivo 2, Hot Potato and Midas Golden Touch, will be made available on the Veikkaus platform via the aggregator EveryMatrix.
As a result of the partnership, Thunderkick continues to grow its reach across the European continent. Earlier this month, the studio agreed to a content deal in the Italian iGaming market with Domusbet.
Svante Sahlström, Chief Commercial Officer at Thunderkick, stated: “Europe remains an integral part of our growth strategy as we continue to develop our global footprint.
“Finland has been a long-standing target, and by partnering with the renowned operator Veikkaus, we can tap into the potential of an entirely new audience. We look forward to debuting our portfolio in the jurisdiction and have no doubt our content will be a success.”
Recently, Sahlström spoke to iGaming Expert about Thunderkick’s aims for this year and how the studio will separate itself from its competitors in the iGaming industry.
He emphasised: “Everybody has our games, but we need to provide the best service. If we don’t have a super, super hit, which we always aim to have, we still need to provide the best service.
“That is what I’m trying to create. We will be a true partner for our customers, for our operators. I want to build this strong and collaborative relationship.”
The Finnish online gambling market is preparing to undergo major structural changes, as the country’s government seeks to move to a licensing system framework and away from a monopoly model with Veikkaus.
Last month, Finland’s Government received parliamentary approval to change its gambling laws and monopoly protections, with the scheduled launch of the new regulatory framework penciled in for 2027.
