Is Thunderkick a casino?
No. Thunderkick is a game studio: it designs slots and supplies them to licensed online casinos. You cannot open an account or deposit with Thunderkick; you play its games at a casino, and that casino holds your account and your money.
Is Thunderkick licensed and safe?
Yes. Thunderkick AB holds a UK Gambling Commission licence for gambling software (account 40165), active since March 2015, and Thunderkick Malta Limited holds a UK remote casino licence (account 41752), active since May 2015.
