Stoloto

What Stoloto does

Stoloto is the official commercial brand and distribution platform for Russian state lotteries, operating under direct government authorization from the Ministry of Finance of Russia and the Ministry of Sports of Russia. The lottery operator is JSC GSL, with instant lotteries operated by the wholly-owned subsidiary LLC Sportloto; both entities sit under the ownership of JSC Technology Company Center (АО «ТК «Центр»). Stoloto holds an operating license valid through December 31, 2044, providing a long-duration regulatory monopoly on the largest segment of the Russian lottery market.

The platform offers a portfolio of more than 30 lottery games spanning classic bingo draws (Русское лото, Золотая подкова, Жилищная лотерея), Sportloto numerical draws (4 из 20, 5 из 36, 6 из 45, 7 из 49), fast Rapido games, KENO, Top-3, instant/scratch tickets, and specialty games. Draws are conducted at the Stoloto Lottery Center in Moscow using Smartplay International certified loto-trons (ISO 9001:2015, World Lottery Association membership) and are broadcast live on the Stoloto website and via the NTV television channel. The technology stack includes the stoloto.ru web platform, iOS and Android mobile applications, SMS-based ticket purchasing, QR-code prize collection, and integrations with Russian payment systems (SberPay, YuMoney, the Russian Fast Payment System, and Russia-issued bank cards).

Stoloto generates revenue through unit-priced ticket sales, with prices ranging from 10 to 450 rubles depending on game type and multiplier selection; the prize fund is mandated at 50% of revenue. Distribution spans direct digital channels (website and mobile), branded Stoloto retail stores, lottery kiosks operated by "Moscow Lotteries," and a major partnership with the Bristol convenience store chain. Marketing leverages social media (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Telegram bot, Viber), referral programs, and weekly NTV broadcasts to reach the broad general Russian consumer market across all demographics.
