ThrillTech, a leading provider of side-bet jackpot technology, has officially entered the African market through a new partnership with 888Bets.co.mz, the Mozambique brand of 888AFRICA. The launch introduces Segunda Chance, a new opt-in jackpot experience designed to enhance player engagement and create additional winning opportunities.
The rollout marks ThrillTech’s first live deployment in Africa and the first operator launch under its recently announced global partnership with gaming platform provider SportingTech.
Through the new integration, 888Bets players in Mozambique can now participate in Segunda Chance by placing an optional secondary wager alongside their regular bets.
Powered by ThrillTech’s proprietary jackpot engine, the player-funded jackpot operates independently of the games available on the platform. This allows players to access an additional prize pool without changing their existing gameplay experience.
The company said the solution provides operators with a scalable and fully compliant way to increase player engagement while generating incremental revenue.
The Mozambique deployment is the first successful implementation of the strategic alliance between ThrillTech and SportingTech.
By leveraging SportingTech’s platform integration, 888Bets was able to deploy the customised jackpot ecosystem quickly, demonstrating the flexibility of the partnership and paving the way for future launches in additional regulated markets.
The milestone also officially establishes ThrillTech’s presence in Africa as the company continues its global expansion strategy.
Commenting on the launch, Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, described the partnership as an important step in the company’s international growth.
“Bringing our jackpot architecture to Mozambique on behalf of a superb brand like 888Bets is a fantastic milestone for us. It is especially rewarding to see our recently announced partnership with SportingTech already bearing fruit with this rapid, flawless deployment. ‘Segunda Chance’ is designed to deliver a compelling new dimension of entertainment for 888Bets players, and we are confident it will act as a powerful differentiator in the market for the brand.”
Christopher Coyne, CEO and Co-Founder of 888AFRICA, said the new jackpot feature aligns with the company’s strategy of delivering engaging betting experiences across its markets.
“At 888AFRICA, our ambition is always to deliver the most dynamic and engaging betting experience across our active markets. Launching Segunda Chance in Mozambique with ThrillTech gives our players exactly that – an exciting, non-intrusive opportunity and another chance to win big alongside their usual play. We are delighted to be the first brand to leverage this platform integration and look forward to the added entertainment value it will bring to our community.”
