Engagement between slates

DFS activity spikes on slate days and falls away in between. A PvP skill games vertical gives players a reason to open the app and wager every day, not just when contests are live, turning a peaky usage pattern into a daily habit.

Predictable revenue, not GGR swings

Operators earn a service fee on every bet placed, not a GGR share that swings with player wins month to month. That revenue is plannable, so you can build UA and CRM budgets on it. THNDR designs to a 50/50 target win rate to manage the tradeoff.

No standalone liquidity needed

A DFS operator does not need a large skill-games player base of its own to offer head-to-head play. THNDR fills matches from a cross-operator network, so opponents are available from day one. The result is a 99.99% fill rate across 160m+ games played.

Live in 5 to 10 days, white-label

Integration is a simple iFrame on the front end and 3 webhooks on the backend. Games are 100% white-label, branded as the operator's own. THNDR is additive and carries no lock-in, so you keep your existing payments and growth stack.

A skill audience that converts

DFS players already compete on skill, so head-to-head skill games are a natural extension of what they came for. No house edge means players compete against each other, and familiar formats convert without re-educating the audience.

Built for regulated operators

THNDR's CEO chairs the Skill Games Committee within the IGSA in the US. Patent-pending game verification and a 50/50 win-rate design protect skill classification, revenue, and ad accounts against bots and collusion, drawing on hundreds of thousands of real-money tournaments since 2019.
