Revenue between draws

Big draws happen twice a week, so a large and loyal user base has no reason to open the app in between. A PvP skill games vertical gives players daily engagement and revenue between jackpots, with no dependence on the draw calendar.

No new acquisition needed

Skill games unlock revenue that already exists in the player base. They are a perfect audience match for lottery players and require no new user acquisition, just a new reason to engage between draws.

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 lottery operator does not need a 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.

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.
