ThrillTech Secures Greek HGC Licence for ThrillPots Jackpots
The side-bet jackpot supplier has been cleared by Greece’s regulator, adding another market to a steadily expanding licensed footprint.
ThrillTech has been granted a Category A1 Manufacturer’s Licence by the Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC), clearing the way for its flagship side-bet jackpot product, ThrillPots, to reach regulated iGaming operators across Greece. The approval, announced on 31 July 2026, adds Greece to the growing list of markets where the supplier already holds licences or certifications. It lands on the back of a busy stretch that has taken ThrillPots from single deployments to a genuinely international spread, earlier this year the supplier put its first jackpot live in Africa alongside 888bets, and Greece now extends that run into another regulated European market.
Why the Greek approval matters now
Every supplier has to clear a national regulator before it can sell into a licensed market, and passing the HGC gives ThrillTech a compliant route to Greek operators it simply did not have before. Approvals like this are the quiet, unglamorous groundwork that decides which suppliers can actually trade in a market and which cannot. ThrillTech says the approval also makes it the first specialist iGaming jackpot provider to be licensed in Greece, a claim the company makes on its own behalf, not one independently established here, but a notable positioning line if it holds.
What the licence actually involves
The Category A1 Manufacturer’s Licence covers ThrillPots, the company’s side-bet jackpot product. According to ThrillTech, its jackpot technology runs entirely independently of the core casino games and betting products operators offer, and does not interfere with core game mathematics or change the return-to-player (RTP) probabilities of the underlying titles. Instead, ThrillTech licenses and certifies its own proprietary random number generator (RNG), which decides the outcomes of the independent side-bet jackpots. Those jackpots sit on a separate, operator-defined RTP and are funded entirely by side bets from opted-in players, which keeps the mechanic ring-fenced from the base game.
The operator read
Here’s the part operators care about. Because ThrillTech licenses its RNG separately from the operator’s certified games, a partner can add a jackpot layer without reopening certification on its core titles. That separation is the whole commercial pitch: it strips out the integration friction that normally slows down attaching a third-party mechanic to a live casino, and it leaves the underlying game maths untouched. It’s the same model that let ThrillTech move quickly into newer European markets, including its entry into Belgium through the Napoleon Casino launch and it’s precisely what should make a Greek rollout faster to stand up.
The caveat worth naming
A licence is permission to enter, not proof of traction. The announcement confirms regulatory clearance in Greece but names no Greek operator go-lives, launch dates or commercial terms, so the real test, operators actually taking the product, still sits ahead. The “first specialist jackpot provider” positioning is also ThrillTech’s own, and is presented here as a company claim rather than a verified market fact.
What the licence unlocks for operators
For Greek operators, the licence turns ThrillPots from unavailable into a ready-to-integrate option, and that is where the practical benefit sits. They gain a compliant jackpot layer they can add on top of existing certified games without disturbing RTP or reopening certification, a new opt-in engagement mechanic for players and a fresh, side-bet-funded revenue line for the business. For ThrillTech, Greece follows recent approvals in Ontario and Gibraltar and joins existing licences or certifications in the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Croatia, Malta, Brazil and Peru, a footprint that now lets it pitch Greek operators from a fully licensed position. Whether that clearance converts into live deployments is the signal worth watching next.
