Thunderkick said on 13 June 2024 that it was live in Ontario with PokerStars and LeoVegas, a week after announcing approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and plans to begin with its first customers on 12 June.
The company’s 5 June statement said it had secured AGCO approval and intended to start in the province on 12 June. Its 13 June follow-up said the supplier had gone live the next day with the two operators.
Thunderkick’s 13 June update described the business as fully licensed by AGCO, but it did not specify the registration category or give an effective time.
A separately published 18 June advertising feature also reported the Ontario launch with PokerStars and LeoVegas. That item listed an initial slate of games including 12 Bolts of Thunder, Xterminate, Midas Golden Touch 2, Beat the Beast: Dragon’s Wrath and Midas Golden Touch Reborn, and said those titles would be accessible within a month of launch. That was a stated rollout plan, not confirmation that all titles were available on schedule.
