Lottery is more than ‘just the ticket’ as Spinola experience demonstrates

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Spinola Gaming, the leading Malta-based lottery content provider is on a mission to stop what it sees as a ‘race to the bottom’. Head of Product, Isabella Rae-Banda explains how the lottery experience is being used to recruit and retain players in what is a commercially promiscuous online world.

Online operators are now starting to realize the true potential of lotteries and now see this as the “Fourth Pillar of Gaming” – can you explain this?

It’s probably best to start with some facts. Lotteries account for some 36 percent of the global gaming market and represent one of the industry’s biggest revenue generators.  Most lottery participants view their spend as entertainment rather than gambling and the overwhelming majority have never visited a casino or participated in an online sportsbook.  Lotteries offer jackpots which people dream about winning in the process creating a positive narrative and with that comes oceans of human interest driven media coverage.  Our approach at Spinola Gaming is to harness these invaluable characteristics and offer online casino and sportsbook operators the opportunity to integrate a global selection of fully insured lotteries from around the world as part of their overall offering.  It’s a recognition that lottery works best when operators take a holistic view of what they can provide in terms of gambling entertainment and lottery is a fundamental part of that fantastic shop window.

How would you summarise the commercial opportunities for online operators?

Lottery is a simple game that can be used in a highly sophisticated way to build the bottom line.  The vast majority of online operators are, perhaps unwittingly, participating in a race to the bottom.  The practice among casinos of offering bonuses or free spins has transitioned from being a sales tool to a culture of permanent offers and deals which destroy margins and have created a churn of promiscuous ‘customers’ with zero brand loyalty.  By incorporating lottery as a side game operators extend an invitation to participate in something that provides an opportunity to follow a dream and win life changing prizes.  When you are competing for traffic you need a ‘stand out’ and lottery is exactly that.  Furthermore, it serves to attract a new customer and with that the opportunity to cross sell across a number of integrated verticals.  Brands can move from attempting to out shout each other to having a conversation with customers and keeping them connected with the brand.  It’s about broadening horizons, offering something different and transitioning players into customers.

What does Spinola bring to the debate?

In physical terms we can offer operators the choice of 72 lotteries from almost all global markets including the biggest European and US lotteries (which is the most comprehensive lottery offering on the market) and the chance to customise games to complement brand values, colour ways and imagery.  The model is based on a fully insured, risk free solution and operators can be up and running with Spinola within a month – two weeks for the technical side and two weeks for customisation.  We provide all of the tools and all of the insight necessary to make the offering work to maximum effect which includes access to our in-house marketing team to help create and implement campaigns.  It’s a fully managed solution which does not cannibalise income from one vertical to another and it’s risk free, meaning operators do not have the burden of payouts on any winnings.

Can the lottery experience engage with Generation Z – if so how?

There’s no doubt that the lottery sector suffers from a range of misperceptions one of which is its association with baby boomers.  The online experience is a perfect fit for consumers who are tech savvy and who could be described as mobile first.  Generation Z finds bricks and mortar gaming an irrelevance but offer a technology driven experience which is different, which is part of an integrated experiential offering and which provides the opportunity to win life changing jackpots and there’s a great opportunity to engage with a new demographic.  They might be playing on the bus home but they are dreaming of a work free lifestyle and driving a Bentley Continental.

What plans does the company have for 2019?

We have spent the past two and a half years building what we believe is the industry’s leading lottery solution by creating a fully managed and risk free range of lottery and jackpot products that integrates seamlessly with online operators, we have been successful in generating a sizeable amount of interest for the lottery vertical and in the process secured over 40 existing operators.  We’ve established a critical mass and the year ahead will see that extend to over 100 live operators. It’s an ambitious target but one we are capable of achieving.

About Spinola

As a new entry to the global lottery market, Spinola Gaming has very quickly established itself as the leader of B2B Lottery Products and Jackpot Solutions now serving over 70 Global Lotteries to more than 100 Operators across the globe through one seamless integration. Spinola’s powerful and innovative lotto engine (Lotto Connex) provides online and state run lottery operators the ability to  take advantage of a fully managed solution with the ability to create new lotteries, add lotto betting as a new vertical and offer Jackpots of up to €250m per draw.

Solitics launches In-Game Pulse for personalised in-play betting offers

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Solitics has launched In-Game Pulse, a powerful tool that allows operators to turn real-time sports moments into high-impact engagement with bettors.

With In-Game Pulse, operators can respond to goals, plays and key events with personalised in-play betting offers, delivered to players when their attention peaks, not after.

It’s powered by Solitic’s new Follow Engine, which tracks what each bettor is interested in and then automatically delivers tailored campaigns based on those interests.

This means marketers build just one journey, rather than separate ones for each possibility.

In-Game Pulse works by connecting an operator’s user data with a live sports feed, then the Follow Engine adapts a single flow to match each user’s interests in real time.

Marketers can then trigger journeys based on the most important moments in a game – a goal, red card – as and when they happen, meaning they are no longer limited to just user behaviour.

The best part is that each campaign is tailored to the individual bettor, and based on the teams, athletes and events they care about.

This makes In-Game Pulse the perfect solution for personalised in-play betting engagement.

This is an example of how it works.

A team scores a goal. 

All users with that team in their favourites list get notified instantly. 

The messaging is kept really simple:

“Big Moment! Your team just scored. Want to double down on the momentum?”. 

The great thing about In-Game Pulse is that it’s not a workaround or a third-party add-on; instead, it sits within Solitics’ engagement flows.

This means operators and their marketing teams can deliver hyper-personalised campaigns at peak interest, with the speed and control that Solitics has built its reputation on.

Guy Shemer, VP Product at Solitics, said: “In-Game Pulse will change the game for how marketers engage players with in-play betting communications and offers. 

“In the past, they have had to map out multiple journeys, and this has created a tremendous amount of work, let alone the challenge of pushing communications at the right time. 

“In-Game Pulse does all the heavy lifting here, allowing marketers to engage players in the moment and when their attention peaks, not after. 

“In short, it allows operators to go beyond their own data and react instantly to live sports moments – moments that can drive betting activity.”

SBC Summit 2025 will debut two new conference stages – Global Markets and Emerging Markets – targeting region-specific insights as the event prepares to welcome over 30,000 attendees from more than 130 countries from September 16-18.

Following sharp international growth in 2024, with Latin America attendance up 126%, Asia up 80% with delegates from 30 countries, Africa up 45% with 29 nations represented, and North America up 127%, two additional conference stages were introduced to meet the event’s expanding global appeal.

Each stage will deliver targeted, actionable insights and create market-specific networking opportunities for delegates operating across the covered jurisdictions.

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “SBC Summit is now a truly global meeting point, so building an agenda that reflects that was the natural next step. 

“With the addition of the Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages, we’re offering market-specific insights—and the networking lounges attached to each stage let delegates connect immediately with the people driving growth in those regions. It’s all about continuing the conversations that start on stage with the people most invested in those markets.”

Thursday – North America Analysis: The final day will examine US expansion opportunities following rapid iGaming growth across multiple states. These sessions will explore the rise of alternative betting models, including sweepstakes and prediction markets, alongside the growing popularity of peer-to-peer betting in the region.

Sessions will also examine the potential for expansion into the Middle East, with panels analysing the UAE’s move towards introducing a gambling framework in the region.

Thursday – Asia Growth Potential: The closing day will examine market entry tactics for Asia’s diverse regulatory environments, with sessions covering licensing pathways, cultural localisation, and strategies for long-term, sustainable growth across key markets like India, the Philippines, and Macau.
