History

LOTTO24 was founded in Hamburg in 2010. The company was formed by spinning off the German business of the then international secondary lottery provider, now ZEAL Network SE. On July 3, 2012, the company went public and was listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In September 2012, LOTTO24 was one of the first private providers to receive state permission to sell lotteries on the Internet, which was followed by advertising permission for TV and the Internet in March 2013. In 2014, LOTTO24 became the first online lottery provider in Germany to publish mobile apps for iOS and Android, allowing lottery players to submit their picks via smartphone and tablet. In May 2019, LOTTO24 was acquired by ZEAL Network SE and has since been part of the ZEAL Group. LOTTO24 applied for the revocation of its listing with effect from 13 September 2021. In 2024, the remaining shares of the minority shareholders of Lotto24 AG were transferred to the parent company ZEAL Network SE as part of a squeeze-out procedure.

Player Protection and Identification

Even though lottery games have a very low risk of addiction, LOTTO24 is committed to player protection and relies on technology-based solutions and measures.

Mindway AI

LOTTO24 works with the Danish technology company Mindway AI on player protection. Mindway AI is an AI company outsourced to Aarhus University that uses artificial intelligence to develop player protection products. As part of its player protection measures, LOTTO24 uses Mindway AI's GameScanner. This is a fully automated technology for identifying problematic gaming behavior.

NECT

For the comprehensive protection of minors and the technology-based online identification of customers, LOTTO24 uses Nect Ident, a fully automated identification system based on artificial intelligence. Within a few minutes, customers can identify themselves using an identity document and a selfie video via app alone. The software detects digital manipulation attempts.

Other

As part of its marketing activities, LOTTO24 works with brand ambassadors. The German actor Sky du Mont was in 2022 a brand ambassador for the LOTTO24 brand and the German TV host. The LOTTO24 clip of 2023 was directed by Jan Bonny.
In May 2022, a LOTTO24 lottery club from North Rhine-Westphalia won the €110 million Eurojackpot. Until then, this was the biggest lottery win in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.
