Lottoland secures Gibraltar’s first lottery messenger license

Bet-on-lotteries operator Lottoland has notched a new feat under its belt after securing a license in Gibraltar for lottery messenger services.

The license, issued by the Government of Gibraltar Licensing Authority, is a first of its kind which will allow the gambling company to resell official tickets for international lottery products, in addition to its existing services, according to Lottoland. The lottery operator currently provides customers with the chance to bet on the outcome of more than 25 lotteries around the world.

Lottoland chief strategy officer Elicia Bravo said securing the license will help the company in markets where state-owned lotteries are “unwilling to give up their monopolies and/or do not recognize lottery betting.”

“The ability to also offer a licensed lottery messenger service will allow us to bring choice to customers in many more markets around the world,” Bravo said in a statement. “Furthermore, it also underlines our strategy of becoming an online lottery operator with the full range of products—including lottery betting, lottery messenger, instant lotteries as well as B2B and B2G services.”
