Gibraltar-based Lottoland is celebrating after winning Lottery Operator of the Year at the prestigious IGA Awards ceremony in London on 6^th February.

Lottoland beat off competition from Camelot, De Lotto, Eurolotto, Health Lottery and IGT to claim the award.

Lottoland was recognised for a series of impressive achievements throughout 2016, including extremely successful launches in Australia and Ireland, pioneering marketing campaigns, improvements to its platform and a wide number of additions to its product offering. This resulted in Lottoland experiencing more than 100% year-on year growth for the third consecutive year.

Lottoland’s CEO Nigel Birrell said, “This award is a fantastic testament to the hard work and creativity that has driven our business forward over the course of the past three years.

“It’s a huge honour that our achievements are being recognised by our industry peers. I couldn’t be more proud.”

Since launching in May 2013, Lottoland has grown to become one of the world’s largest online lottery operators. The Gibraltar-based business is active in 12 markets, has over 270 employees, more than 5 million customers worldwide and achieved revenues of €300m in 2016.

Lottoland offers its players the opportunity to bet on the world’s biggest jackpots for the same prizes, including the jackpot. There is an extensive portfolio of draws available to bet on including EuroMillions, US MegaMillions, US PowerBall, Spain’s El Gordo and a host of other lotteries from across Europe, Australia and beyond. Lottoland will also extend its offering to include instant lottery and lottery messenger services in the near future. The company also offers B2B and B2G services.
