IWG and Inspired partner to deliver instant win virtual sports to North American LotteriesReading Time: 3 minutes

 

IWG, the award-winning supplier of online, instant win games, and Inspired Entertainment (Nasdaq: INSE), a world leader in virtual sports, have partnered together to deliver a brand new vertical for North American lotteries – instant win versions of virtual sports.

This innovative collaboration will see IWG lean on its expertise to create unique and engaging instant win games that feature Inspired’s award-winning ultra-realistic virtual sports content.

Each predetermined game will be tailored to ensure best practices in instant win game mechanics are intact, while also capturing the exciting gameplay that has made virtual sports grow to become an important product for lotteries and operators around the world.

The first iteration of instant-virtual sports will allow players to view single virtual football plays and win prizes based on the result of that play. The new game, which will go live later this year and in time for NFL playoffs, will be accessible online via the Progressive Play RGS across IWG’s lottery and commercial operator network.

Rhydian Fisher, IWG CEO, said: “We are very excited about this collaboration. These games are beautifully simple, and with the advent of sports betting in the US landscape, we feel they are a good entry point for customers who are interested in sports betting but may not have experience in doing so.

“We are confident that the instant win game play mechanics, coupled with the rich virtual animations, will prove to be popular with players and drive further revenue for good causes. It’s a great complement to our instant win portfolio and we could not be more excited to offer this to all our lottery partners.”

Digital consumers consume content at a much faster rate than in the offline world, and this has only accelerated with the growing use of mobile devices.  Instant Virtual Sports help lotteries address this by combining the worlds of e-commerce and entertainment, offering consumers the chance to win money and be entertained in the process.

Lorne Weil, Inspired Executive Chairman, said: “With the proliferation of mobile wagering and sports betting throughout North America, lotteries need to get creative to stay competitive, now more than ever. We see a huge opportunity in the North American lottery market for these products, where the instant gratification and digital format have the ability to reinforce current offerings and attract new players.

“We can’t wait to showcase these new games and, while we are starting with instant-win virtual football, we are excited to leverage additional Inspired content to grow this category with IWG.”

IWG has provided a full online instant win service to lotteries for more than 15 years, producing more than 250 high quality instant win games. It won Online Lottery Supplier of the Year at the 2017 EGR B2B Awards.

Inspired has more than 15 years of visual effects experience and has been the EGR Virtual Sports Provider of the Year for the past three years. Inspired’s life-like games appeal to a new player genre, providing fun betting options and more chances to win.

THNDR, a trailblazer in skill-based peer-to-peer (PvP) gaming solutions, announced the launch of its latest title, Blackjack, now available on its B2B PvP platform. Designed for iGaming operators and aggregators, this classic game with a skilled twist leverages THNDR’s cutting-edge betting liquidity network and instant payment settlements to redefine player engagement, retention, and monetization in the iGaming industry.

Underlying the new Blackjack title, THNDR’s tech addresses long-standing pain points for operators, including player liquidity gaps and slow payout processes. By tapping into THNDR’s cross-operator liquidity network, the game ensures players are matched instantly, eliminating unfilled wagers and keeping the action flowing. Coupled with real-time payouts, operators can offer their players PvP games in any currency while benefiting from behind-the-scenes settlement with zero delays or chargebacks.

“We’re thrilled to bring a skill version of Blackjack to our PvP platform,” said Desiree Dickerson, CEO and Co-Founder of THNDR. “This isn’t just another game, it’s a powerful re-engagement and monetization tool for operators. By blending skill-based competition with our innovative tech, we’re delivering a solution that keeps players engaged longer, boosts retention, and opens access to a broader market of new users.” 

Unlike traditional casino-style Blackjack, THNDR’s version rewards strategy and decision-making, appealing to a growing demographic of competitive players seeking more than chance-based entertainment. Early partners include BetOpenly, Speed Wallet, Maincard, Telobet, and more.

For iGaming operators and aggregators, the benefits are clear:

  • Instant Liquidity: Players connect across THNDR’s betting network for a nearly 100% match rate.
  • Enhanced Monetization: Instant payouts encourage higher spending and user trust.
  • User Acquisition: Skill-based games allow licensed operators to reach a wider market.
  • Seamless Integration: The platform can be integrated with just a few lines of code and works with any currency.
