Pragmatic Solutions announces integration with ThrillTech, adding player-funded jackpots to its PAM platform to boost engagement and operator revenue. Pragmatic Solutions, a leading provider of modular iGaming platform technology for regulated markets, today announced its integration with ThrillTech, a specialist B2B supplier of player-funded jackpot mechanics. ThrillTech brings its cutting-edge side-bet jackpot products to Pragmatic Solutions’ Player Account Management (PAM) platform through a seamless integration that enables operators to activate player-funded jackpots. These jackpots are uniquely structured to be funded directly by players via side bet contributions—available exclusively through licensed B2B providers. This integration empowers Pragmatic Solutions' clients to deploy jackpot-first mechanics that have been shown to boost monthly revenue by 10% or more, offering a proven, incremental uplift in monetisation without compromising compliance, operational efficiency or cannibalising existing revenue streams. ThrillTech’s flagship products—ThrillPots and ThrillDrops—serve complementary roles: ThrillPots is focused on generating incremental revenue, while ThrillDrops operates as an advanced rule engine for real-time, cash-only rewards, designed to boost player engagement and session value.  While the company also supports promotional jackpots that can enhance player engagement, its core business remains firmly rooted in licensed  player-funded jackpots. “Partnering with Pragmatic Solutions gives us the opportunity to bring our jackpot-first technology to a broader network of licensed operators,” said Faye Williams, Head of Business Development at ThrillTech. “Our side bet mechanics are designed to deliver measurable revenue gains while meeting strict regulatory standards. A key driver of our success is our ability to craft bespoke, sophisticated jackpot models tailored to each client's objectives, target markets, and operational scale.” Pragmatic Solutions’ open, API-based platform makes it easy for operators to integrate a wide array of third-party services—from payments and compliance to BI and now jackpot products like ThrillTech’s—through flexible configuration. The addition of ThrillTech expands the platform’s ecosystem with a solution that allows operators to differentiate their offering and maximise revenue potential. Dean Peters-Wright, Director of Product at Pragmatic Solutions, added: “ThrillTech brings a unique and regulated approach to jackpot deployment that complements our open platform strategy. Their innovative side bet mechanics and track record of boosting operator revenue make them a valuable addition to our partner network.” Read related article: OtherLevels announces partnership with Amazon Web Services
