Our verdict
Updated 19 Sept 2026Thunderpick, an esports-focused brand launched in 2017, is operated by Paloma Media B.V. under a Curaçao CGA licence whose term ended on 4 June 2026 and is awaiting renewal. A second, Anjouan licence for its domains is held by a different company, Napier Ltd. Australia's ACMA issued the operator a formal warning in December 2023.
Who runs Thunderpick
Thunderpick launched in 2017 and focuses on esports betting. Its Curaçao licence is held by Paloma Media B.V. The Anjouan register, however, lists another entity, Napier Ltd, as licensee for thunderpick.io and thunderpick.com. Our sources do not explain the relationship between the two companies.
Thunderpick licence check
Older data described Thunderpick under a legacy Curaçao arrangement; it now holds a licence under the new CGA regime, OGL/2024/677/0722, issued to Paloma Media B.V. on 4 June 2025. The certificate reads 'Active', but the CGA register of 14 September 2026 shows the term ended on 4 June 2026 and the renewal as 'Assessment in progress'. Our register monitoring picked up the change.
In parallel, Anjouan licence ALSI-202501018-FI1 covers thunderpick.io and thunderpick.com under Napier Ltd until 17 January 2027. Two licences held by two different entities make it less clear which company a player is contracting with.
- CGA: OGL/2024/677/0722 (Paloma Media B.V.), term ended 4 June 2026, renewal 'Assessment in progress'
- CGA certificate: Active
- Anjouan: ALSI-202501018-FI1 (Napier Ltd), valid until 17 January 2027

Incidents and red flags
- December 2023: Australia's media regulator ACMA issued a formal warning to the operator, Paloma Media B.V. (published on the ACMA website).
- Licence information has conflicted across sources (Curaçao versus Anjouan), which matches the two parallel licences described above.
What to check before you deposit
- Read the terms to see whether Paloma Media B.V. or Napier Ltd is named as your counterparty, then check that entity's licence.
- Check the CGA register for OGL/2024/677/0722 rather than relying on the 'Active' certificate.
- If you are in Australia, check whether the site appears on ACMA's list of blocked gambling websites.
- Review withdrawal limits and identity-verification thresholds in the terms.

Thunderpick FAQ
Is Thunderpick legit?
Thunderpick is an established esports-focused brand with an identified Curaçao licensee. Its licensing is complicated: the CGA licence is awaiting renewal, a separate Anjouan licence sits with a different company, and Australia's ACMA issued it a formal warning in December 2023.
Is Thunderpick licensed?
It holds Curaçao CGA licence OGL/2024/677/0722 (Paloma Media B.V.), whose term ended on 4 June 2026 with renewal in progress. Its domains also appear under Anjouan licence ALSI-202501018-FI1 (Napier Ltd), valid until 17 January 2027.
Why does Thunderpick have two licences?
Our sources show both licences but not the reason for them. The Curaçao licence is held by Paloma Media B.V. and the Anjouan licence by Napier Ltd, so players should check which entity their terms name.
