Thunderkick to Supply 20 Titles to DAZN Bet Italy from Spring 2026
Thunderkick is supplying 20 of its slot titles to DAZN Bet Italy, including Esqueleto Explosivo 2, Esqueleto Explosivo 3, and Midas Golden Touch 3. More games from the studio’s portfolio will be added later. The deal strengthens Thunderkick’s presence in Italy and shows how partnering with established operators can expand player reach in a regulated market.
Fredrik Ekholm, Head of Sales at Thunderkick, said: “Italy is one of our most important markets, and working with DAZN Bet lets us reach more players while meeting regulatory standards.” For other studios and operators, this highlights that choosing the right partner is crucial to grow in competitive markets.
DAZN Bet holds Serie A broadcast rights and has expanded its Italian casino offering through Scommettendo.it. Donato Nigro, General Manager of DAZN Bet Italy, said combining local knowledge with global operations is central to their strategy. Operators should note that content variety, compliance, and multi-channel reach are now critical for success in Italy.
Earlier this year, Spinomenal also integrated its titles with DAZN Bet, showing the operator is curating content carefully to support both casino and sportsbook. Affiliates and operators can see this as a model: partnering with multi-channel operators can increase exposure and reduce operational friction in regulated markets.
TGJ Take
Partnerships like this are shaping how the Italian market works. Studios that don’t secure established operator deals risk limited visibility. Affiliates should prioritise operators such as DAZN Bet, where integrated casino and sportsbook offerings reach more players. For operators and suppliers, the lesson is simple: success now depends on content range, regulatory compliance, and multi-channel integration.
