iBankroll partners with MonkeyTilt to support growth through increased financial power

London, 21st May 2026 – iBankroll has further extended the reach of its Bankroll-as-a-Service solution after securing a risk-sharing partnership with sports and casino operator MonkeyTilt to power the highest VIP limits in crypto sports iGaming.

iBankroll's Bankroll-as-a-Service model absorbs the short-term variance that comes with high-stakes VIP wagering. The model removes the need for operators to hold large capital reserves to back high-stakes action, freeing balance sheet for growth investment in product, marketing and customer experience.

The deal unlocks $1 million per-round blackjack, $6 million maximum slot wins, unlimited daily withdrawals, and top-of-market sports limits for MonkeyTilt’s players. Crucially, MonkeyTilt, the PolyChain and Pantera Capital-backed operator, which has raised over $80 million in funding to build ‘the first social-driven, everything platform for risk taking’, can achieve this without holding capital in reserve to back the book, with the full weight of iBankroll’s risk management infrastructure absorbing the variance.

iBankroll, which was created solely for the iGaming industry, offers a combination of funding capacity, risk management, and strategic advisory to help operators grow with more stable performance and balanced volatility.

For iBankroll, MonkeyTilt represents exactly the kind of partner the model was built to serve, ambitious operators with strong product and capital who are looking for structural infrastructure rather than incremental fixes.

Hayden Bowman, Co-Founder of iBankroll, said: “MonkeyTilt is building one of the most ambitious consumer products in the space.

“Sam and the team don’t take partnerships lightly and we don’t either when the deal is this size. We’ve spent the last several months getting every piece into place so MonkeyTilt can take on serious volume and volatility with zero bankroll risk on their side. It’s been a real pleasure working with them and we're excited to keep going.”

Sam Kiki, Founder and CEO of MonkeyTilt, said: “MonkeyTilt has raised over $80 million from investors like Pantera Capital, Polychain, PokerGo, and myself. However, we have always had to earmark a large portion of our balance sheet to guarantee immediate payouts to winners.

“Moving forward, this risk will be assumed by our partners, freeing up our capital for growth. What most people don’t realise is that 99 percent of startup casinos don’t actually have a bankroll. Some take $100K-per-hand action knowing they can’t cover the downside. This deal puts us in the 1 percent that doesn’t have to think about it.
