LottBox™ Aims to be the Last Word in Lottery Retail

LottBox™ Aims to be the Last Word in Lottery RetailReading Time: 2 minutes

 

When it comes to in-lane lottery solutions, The Froelich Group believes they have the answer. After years of bootstrapping, the small fintech company has successfully tested its revolutionary technology and is set to open its doors for business.

“Do you know why you can’t put instant tickets on the shelf within reach of the consumer?” asks Christian Froelich, Founder of The Froelich Group; a financial services technology company serving the lottery industry. “You can’t do it because someone could grab a bunch of tickets and run out the door. But what if those tickets weren’t worth anything until they were purchased… like gift cards? What if we could activate a lottery’s current stock of instant tickets when they’re sold? Today those ideas become a reality.”

This week, the Froelich Group introduced “LottBox,” a patented system for selling instant tickets that allows lotteries and their retailers to securely activate individual instant tickets upon sale.

“The secret to securely selling instant tickets in-lane is the ability to autonomously inspect each ticket for tampering. If you can do this, you can put your instants on the shelf and activate them in-lane without fear of falling victim to a scam,” said Froelich. “Without it, you’re either trying to redesign instant tickets themselves, or you’re back to locking up instants in a vault of some sort.”

The company’s website outlines the specific benefits for all stakeholders from the players to the lottery to the retailer.

Froelich says that because the price of each LottBox unit is negligible, client lotteries will order enough LottBoxes to put one in every checkout lane of their larger retailers. “Broad distribution is the whole point of in-lane sales. If you’re only in one lane, you may as well save your money and stick with your vending machine,” continues Froelich. “We built a cellular system that is affordable, scalable, can be rolled out within days and requires almost no training. Perhaps most intriguing is the fact that we don’t require a common API or coordination with other lotteries or retailers. In other words, it’s ‘plug and play.’”

Currently, The Froelich Group is developing the second generation, market-ready LottBox that is quicker, smaller, faster and more secure than the original. Froelich says the units will be available to U.S. lotteries by early 2020.

International Game Technology PLC announced that its Italian subsidiary, IGT Lottery, obtained the European Lotteries (EL) Responsible Gaming (RG) Certification for the sixth consecutive time. Through an agreement between European Lotteries and the World Lottery Association (WLA), IGT Lottery has also obtained WLA Responsible Gaming Certification Level 4, the highest level available.

The EL RG Certification was developed to promote the adoption of RG best practices across EL membership organizations. The EL RG standards are also designed to be complementary to the WLA RG Principles and Framework, allowing companies that meet the implementation of the EL RG Standards to also achieve Level 4 certification of the WLA Framework.

“IGT Lottery achieving responsible gaming recertification by EL for the sixth consecutive time, paired with the highest level of WLA certification, showcases our status as a true global leader in sustainability. ‘Advancing Responsibility’ is vital to our success as a lottery company, and central to our sustainability strategy. We will continue to deliver innovation while operating with the highest level of integrity to protect our people, products and processes,” said Marco Tasso, IGT COO of Italian and International Sales and Operations.

IGT Lottery’s RG programme is guided by international best practices. Consistently updated to meet evolving standards, the programme operates on three macro guidelines: the promotion of a positive approach to gaming, the prevention of underage gambling and support for players who need it.

The EL RG certification was issued following an in-depth examination of IGT Lottery’s tools, activities and processes that comprise its RG programme in Italy. IGT Lottery was found to be fully in line with the international standards established by the EL, which require specific actions to protect players by the gaming operator, reaching a score of 100% for each of ten specified areas.
