Lottoland have moved up 10 places since the 2016 EGR Power Rankings – testament to the company’s aim of providing value and choice through innovation to over 6.5 million customers across twelve territories. Fundamental to their success has been their unique insurance structure, which has been developed with the introduction of a unique high prize payout asset to scratchcards and instant win games, enabling Lottoland to offer customers even larger jackpots. The Random & insured Number Generator (RiNG) allows customers to win huge jackpots instantly. This includes a €10mn scratchcard – the highest prize for any scratchcard available in Europe.

More recently, Lottoland have been granted an insurance license by the Financial Services Commission in Gibraltar, making Lottoland the first and only gaming company with its own insurance company – Fortuna Insurance PCC Limited.
