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.

Altenar is launching a series of free online webinars with helpful tips and advice for operators to gain a better understanding of how to maximise the potential of their sportsbook.

In the webinars titled ‘Behind The Bet’, experts from across Altenar’s departments will present their thoughts on a range of topics aimed at educating the audience and helping them optimise their sportsbook offering.

As a leading sportsbook provider in regulated markets around the world, Altenar’s products are tailored to the demands of various regions and are developed based on the localised expertise of the team.

Account managers already play an important role in the business development of existing clients but ‘Behind The Bet’ will allow both current and potential customers to improve their understanding of various markets, regulations and sportsbook products.

The webinars will be held in English, Spanish and Portuguese to cater to the needs of a global audience, with the presentations followed by a question-and-answer session.

The first edition of Behind The Bet will focus on one of the hottest topics in the iGaming industry as Altenar’s Head of Licensing and Regulatory Compliance Magno Neiva and Sales Manager Frederico Caputi discuss the legal landscape in Brazil.

Charlie Williams, Commercial Director at Altenar, said: “The newly regulated market has opened up exciting opportunities for iGaming companies, but there are also many regulatory challenges to overcome in order to maximize market potential. Altenar’s success in highly regulated markets across the globe, and in South America, positions us to deliver a flexible range of products and services to help our clients grow in Brazil.”

Magno Neiva, Head of Licensing and Regulatory Compliance, said: “The Brazilian iGaming market is evolving rapidly, presenting exciting opportunities for operators and providers alike. As one of the most dynamic and promising regions in the industry, Brazil is at the centre of innovation and the new regulatory advancements are shaping the future of online betting and gaming in South America.

“Altenar is proud to be part of this journey, bringing its expertise and cutting-edge solutions to a market that is poised for significant growth.”

This webinar, the first in a series, could not have chosen a more relevant market to explore. Through this discussion, Altenar aims to showcase how its advanced sportsbook and gaming solutions can help businesses thrive in this fast-moving environment.

The first edition of Behind The Bet will be held in Portuguese and takes place on March 12 at 11am (Brazilian Standard Time).
