Lottotech

What Lottotech does

Lottotech Ltd is the exclusive operator of the Mauritius National Lottery, having held the government-granted license since its founding in 2009. The company is publicly listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM:LOTO) since May 2014 and is headquartered in Ebène, Mauritius, with a workforce of approximately 123 employees. It serves the general adult population of Mauritius and Rodrigues through both consumer-direct channels and a B2B retailer network.

The company offers four core products: Loto (a 6/40 draw game with twice-weekly draws on Wednesdays and Saturdays, minimum jackpot Rs 8M as of December 2025), Loto Vert (a 7/28 weekly game with Tuesday and Friday draws), The Football Pools (a sports betting product distributed under exclusive African partnership with The Football Pools UK, offering Classic Pools, Premier 10, and Goal Rush), and Hotpicks (a side-bet product on individual draw numbers). Distribution runs through 680+ authorized retailer points equipped with Brightstar Lottery terminals and through mobile applications available on iOS, Android, and Huawei AppGallery. The Football Pools product was fully digitized in August 2022, replacing physical coupons with paperless mobile-app-based selection validated at retail terminals. The technology stack is built around Brightstar Lottery PLC's central system and RetailerPro S2 hardware on the OpenRetail platform, refreshed under a multi-year contract extension signed in 2026.

Lottotech's revenue model is a transaction-fee take-rate on lottery ticket sales. The company retains a margin of ticket sales after paying player winnings (Loto Vert operates on a 55.2% payout ratio) and remitting the statutory contribution to the Consolidated Fund. FY2025 revenue was Rs 1,678M with Rs 143M profit after tax, and gross lottery ticket turnover reached Rs 3,387M (up 18% from Rs 2,870M in 2024). Retailers earn commissions (Rs 160M in 2024) and the company funds community programmes, including Rs 289M in community project investment and Rs 450M to the National Solidarity Fund cumulatively. Since inception, Rs 8.34B has been paid to the Consolidated Fund, Rs 6.5B in player winnings, and Rs 1.4B in retailer commissions. The company holds WLA Level 4 Responsible Gaming certification, first achieved in 2020 and recertified in 2022 and 2026, placing it among only 20 of 165 WLA lotteries globally and as the first in Africa to achieve it three times.

Direct peers

• Singapore Pools: Singapore's sole licensed lottery and sports betting operator, owned by the Singapore Tote Board. Comparable to Lottotech as a national-lottery monopoly operator offering draw-based lottery, sports betting, and digital channels. Lottotech signed an MOU with Singapore Pools in January 2025 for market intelligence and talent exchange.
• LONASE (Loterie Nationale Sénégalaise): Senegal's national lottery operator, established in 1969. Closely comparable national-lottery model serving a single country market in Africa. LONASE sent a delegation to benchmark Lottotech's responsible gaming and operational practices in December 2025.
• The Football Pools UK: Originator of the Football Pools product (Classic Pools, Premier 10, Goal Rush). Direct peer through the 2019 exclusive African partnership, with Lottotech (via subsidiary Pool Joseph Merven) operating as Football Pools licensee across Mauritius.
• La Marocaine des Jeux et des Sports (MDJS): Morocco's national lottery operator providing draw-based lottery, scratch cards, and sports betting. Operates as a public-interest gaming monopoly with social-impact contributions, structurally similar to Lottotech's mandate and Mauritius National Lottery mission.

Regional players

• Ithuba Holdings (South African National Lottery Operator): South Africa's national lottery operator under a government licence, offering draw games, scratchcards, and sports betting in a larger African market. Structurally comparable monopoly model with similar social-impact mandate; useful peer for African lottery economics, though it does not directly compete in Mauritius.
• Premier Lotto (Nigeria): Nigerian gaming operator licensed by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission, offering draw games and instant-win products across West Africa. Comparable African emerging-market lottery operator with omni-channel distribution, though operating in a different regulatory and competitive environment than Mauritius.

Broad incumbents

• Allwyn (formerly Camelot Group): Operator of the UK National Lottery under a government licence. Comparably structured national-lottery operator with multi-product portfolio (draw games, scratchcards, online) at significantly larger scale; useful benchmark for institutional governance and digital transformation pathways.
• Sisal (Flutter Entertainment subsidiary): Italian lottery and gaming operator (formerly Lottomatica), now owned by Flutter Entertainment. Comparable as a multi-channel lottery/sports-betting operator with online and retail footprint and broad European/African market exposure.
• FDJ (Française des Jeux): France's national lottery operator, now publicly listed on Euronext Paris. Offers draw games, scratchcards, and sports betting under regulated monopoly; provides a benchmark for scaled operations, public-listing performance, and omnichannel distribution economics for a government-licensed lottery.

Others

• Brightstar Lottery PLC: Long-term exclusive technology partner to Lottotech since inception (extended into third decade in 2026). Not a direct competitor but adjacent/ecosystem participant providing central systems, RetailerPro S2 terminals, and OpenRetail platform; comparable peer only in the sense that it serves ~90 lottery customers globally and defines the technology capabilities Lottotech can leverage.
