Thunderpick & AffPapa: A Live Partnership Page After an ACMA Warning
Last reviewed · Editorial policy
AffPapa’s ThunderPartners partnership page remains live after Australia’s regulator formally warned the Thunderpick provider. The regulator’s page title says Paloma Media N.V., but the attached legal warning & the current Curaçao certificate identify the entity as Paloma Media B.V.
Evidence cut-off: 2 September 2026.
Correction & source clarification — 5 September 2026. The warning itself is dated 17 November 2023. The chronology now distinguishes that date from the warning page’s 19 December update. AffPapa’s 9 October 2023 partnership announcement preceded the warning; the article concerns its continued publication afterward.
What AffPapa published or retained
The reviewed source is AffPapa’s ThunderPartners partnership article; its date & relationship claim are set out in the chronology.
What the authority did
ACMA’s webpage heading says Paloma Media N.V., but the attached formal-warning PDF is addressed to Paloma Media B.V. & identifies B.V. as the provider. The current CGA certificate also names Paloma Media B.V., company number 146988.
Chronology
- 9 October 2023: AffPapa announced its ThunderPartners partnership.
- 17 November 2023: ACMA dated its formal warning to Paloma Media B.V. over Thunderpick. The warning page was last updated on 19 December 2023.
- 4 June 2025: the current CGA licence for thunderpick.io was granted to Paloma Media B.V.
- 2 September 2026: AffPapa’s partnership article remained live & the CGA certificate remained active.
The question this case raises
What review followed the warning? The partnership announcement came first; the later finding concerns Paloma’s Australian services, not a finding against AffPapa.
Reply record
InfoBets’ record says AffPapa & the relevant brand were invited to reply by 20 August 2026, 17:00 CEST; none was received by the 2 September cut-off. Silence is not an admission.
