HISTORY

Launching in Gibraltar in 2013, Lottoland had an initial team of just seven employees united by a frustration with the traditional lottery offerings.

The business was founded upon a promise to introduce a completely different product with a unique customer experience, huge pay-outs and infinite choice.

Today, Lottoland is active across four continents, and has over 18.5 million customers. This makes Lottoland one of the most successful start-ups in Europe.

To date, our players have won over €1 billion via our website; in 2018 we celebrated a €90 million winner from Berlin in Germany. The world’s largest online win to date!
