Osterreichische Lotterien

What Osterreichische Lotterien does

Österreichische Lotterien Gesellschaft m.b.H. is the state-owned Austrian national lottery operator, headquartered at Rennweg 44 in Vienna and operating under a concession from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance since 1986. The company holds the sole legal license for draw-based lottery, instant-win scratch cards, and online casino gaming in Austria, serving the general Austrian adult population through both retail and digital channels. Its product portfolio spans the flagship Lotto 6 aus 45 draw lottery, pan-European EuroMillionen and EuroDreams products, the historical Zahlenlotto 1-90 and Klassenlotterie formats, sports betting under the tipp3 brand, instant-win Rubbellos and Brieflos, and supplementary games such as Joker, LottoPlus, and ÖsterreichBonus.

The company operates through three core subsidiaries: win2day (the sole licensed Austrian online casino and lottery platform), tipp3 (sports betting), and WINWIN (a network of physical gaming venues). Distribution combines approximately 5,100 retail acceptance points (Annahmestellen) nationwide with the win2day.at web platform and the Lotterien mobile application (iOS and Android), which supports ticket purchasing, barcode-based prize scanning, and retail-location search. Technological differentiation is limited primarily to the certified Quicktipp random number generator, a certified lottery-ticket scanning workflow in the mobile app, and the integrated win2day back-end that unifies lottery, casino, and sports-betting products under a single licensed platform. No public API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Österreichische Lotterien earns revenue principally through unit-priced lottery ticket sales (for example, 1.50 EUR per Lotto 6 aus 45 standard tip) across retail, online, and mobile channels, with prize pools structured around guaranteed minimum jackpots (e.g., 1.2 million EUR starting jackpot for Lotto 6 aus 45) and participation in pan-European pools offering jackpots up to 250 million EUR. Since 1986 the company has remitted over 2 billion EUR to Austrian sport organizations via the statutory sport-promotion levy under the Gambling Act, an outflow that is part of its concession mechanics rather than discretionary CSR. The company is governed by a three-member Vorstand (executive board) comprising Erwin van Lambaart, Martin Skopek, and Andreas Bierwirth, and is registered as a private limited company (Gesellschaft m.b.H.) under Austrian commercial law.
