ThrillTech launches new tournament platform ThrillArena

Side-betting technology company ThrillTech has launched a new tournament platform in an attempt to “reimagine how operators can engage and reward players across casino, live and sports”. The new product, ThrillArena, has been designed to boost prize pools and give new revenue opportunities without traditional operator-funded prizes. It brings together SlotsArena, LiveArena and SportsArena into one proposition and is entirely player-funded, meaning there is no operator contribution needed for prize pools. Players can choose to participate by opting in. Tournament scoring is driven by a range of carefully calibrated factors, creating a dynamic points system that can evolve to deliver engaging and balanced competition. At its core, the system is designed to keep tournaments open and competitive, giving players who join later a genuine opportunity to catch up, climb the leaderboard and compete for top rewards. ThrillArena also includes ‘Battle Mode’, enabling limited player-vs-player challenges where participants can compete directly against one another, earn points and rise through the rankings. “ThrillArena represents the evolution of tournaments: turning them from an operator-funded promotional cost into a player-funded engagement and revenue opportunity,” said Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech. “By combining side bets, automated tournaments and competitive player-v-player mechanics across Casino, Live and Sports, we’re giving operators a new way to create bigger moments for players while building a more sustainable tournament model.” ThrillTech takes another significant step in journey ThrillArena marks Cyprus-based ThrillTech’s second product in its side-bet portfolio, following the launch of its side-bet jackpot engine, ThrillPots. The company made some major moves over the summer, having partnered with well-known operators including Super and 888AFRICA. It later gained itself a licence from the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) in Greece to initially offer its ThrillPots products to operators. This followed ThrillTech obtaining licences or certifications in the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Peru and Ontario.
