LOT.TO expands African business with landmark Gambia lottery deal

Gambians will soon have access to the world’s richest lottery games after the country inked a deal with UK-licensed iLottery provider LOT.TO to power its first nationwide lottery.

LOT.TO announced that it is working on an advanced online game platform tailored to the Gambian market after the country decided to lift its ban on lotteries.

It would be recalled that The Gambia’s former President Yahya Jammeh banned the numbers game completely in 2015, depriving the country’s 2 million people access to international lottery games such as the U.S.’s Mega Millions and Powerball.

The LOT.TO games were created so that Gambians could participate in these lotteries without breaking the bank and for players to experience the thrill of winning large prizes, according to the company’s Customer Success Head Rob Lawson.
