ThrillTech unveils ThrillArena, a new player-funded approach that brings side betting to tournaments.
The launch of ThrillArena represents the next step in the company's goal of broadening the possibilities of side betting.
The platform introduces opt-in, player-funded side bets into tournaments, taking the onus of funding prize pools off operators. This 100% player-funded model brings together SlotsArena, LiveArena and SportsArena within one tournament proposition.
According to the official press release, ThrillArena is powered by ThrillTech's proprietary point engine, designed to keep the competition open through a dynamic points system.
Co-founder of ThrillTech, Benjamin Bradtke, commented: “ThrillArena represents the evolution of tournaments: turning them from an operator-funded promotional cost into a player-funded engagement and revenue opportunity. 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's global expansion has been accelerating since acquiring a license to supply jackpot technology in Gibraltar and obtaining a Gaming-Related Supplier license in Ontario earlier this year.
ThrillArena is the second product in the company's growing side-bet portfolio, joining the side-bet jackpot engine ThrillPots.
The company will be discussing ThrillPots at the Global Gaming Insider exhibitor spotlight at the SBC Summit 2026, in Lisbon.
In April, ThrillTech appointed Giles Potter as new CMO ahead of plans for next phase of global growth
