Thunderkick amplifies Ontario presence with NEO.bet partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a new deal with NEO.bet, making its games available to a greater number of players in Canada’s only regulated iGaming market.
The collaboration with the casino follows Thunderkick’s Ontario launch earlier this year, which saw them go live with PokerStars and LeoVegas, two of North America’s biggest operators.
The provider’s cutting-edge slots will supplement the product offering of NEO.bet, expanding its influence in Canada’s most populous province.
Thunderkick set its sights on commercial growth across North America in 2024, and the Ontario entry emphasised its desire to diversify its network and increase brand visibility in burgeoning markets.
The game rollout in Ontario will be tailored to the needs of the operator and will initially feature some of Thunderkick’s most popular titles, including Midas Golden Touch 2, Xterminate, and Esqueleto Explosivo.
Svante Sahlström, Chief Commercial Officer at Thunderkick, said: “Entering Ontario was a huge milestone for Thunderkick, and we are delighted to have partnered with NEO.bet to give more players access to our games as we continue to enhance our reputation across the Atlantic.
“Some of our fan-favourite games are now accessible to a greater pool of Canadians, and there are plenty of new releases in our roadmap which are sure to resonate with players.”
“This is the latest step in our targeted 2024 commercial goals, and we will continue to build relationships with partners in both North and Latin America to enhance Thunderkick’s global brand.”
Simon Erpenbach, Head of Casino at NEO.bet, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Thunderkick and bring their innovative games to our players in Ontario.
“This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide a diverse and high-quality gaming experience, and we are confident that their games will be a great addition to our platform.”
Asit Ganguli, Country Manager – Canada at NEO.bet, said: “At NEO.bet, our foremost commitment is to provide our customers with the best gaming experience possible. Partnering with Thunderkick allows us to uphold this promise by introducing their unique and engaging slots to our platform.
“This collaboration ensures we continue to offer diverse and high-quality entertainment to our valued players.”

BCLC Reminds Public to be Cautious of Illegal Online Casino Scams

BCLC has reminded the public to be cautious of a series of social media scams that imitate B.C. casinos and trick individuals into providing their financial details on illegitimate websites.
Highly deceptive, these scams share fraudulent posts and advertisements exploiting the logos, names, and exterior images of local B.C. casinos, and may claim to offer players exclusive bonuses and promotions if they register with their website or mobile application. BCLC warns that none of these sites are associated with casinos in B.C. or BCLC.
PlayNow.com is the only online gambling website permitted to operate in B.C. BCLC’s official apps are BCLC Lotto!, PlayNow Poker BC, and PlayNow BC Sportsbook. All BCLC-operated social media accounts, such as BCLC, PlayNow BC, PlayNow Sports, Lotto BC and Casinos BC, are verified with a checkmark.
While BCLC and its casino partners continue to work on having the posts removed, British Columbians should stay vigilant when it comes to these predatory and sophisticated scams.
To protect themselves, individuals are encouraged to:
• Be on alert when a website or app asks for personal or financial information. BCLC’s verified websites and apps will never ask for your social insurance number (SIN), banking information or credit card details online to claim a prize from a B.C. casino.
• Carefully check the URL and domain of the website to verify its legitimacy. Often, scammers will use a similar URL and domain to legitimate websites with a minor spelling difference.
• Always verify the company and its services are real before providing any personal information.
• Look out for other red flags, such as the suggestion of fees or taxes to be paid on a prize. There are no fees or taxes on prizes won in Canada.
If individuals feel unsure about an account, post or advertisement claiming to represent a B.C. casino, they can contact BCLC directly by calling the Customer Support Centre at 1-866-815-0222, or using the live chat resource on corporate.bclc.com or PlayNow.com.
