Lottoland has officially entered the record books. Last month, Guinness World Records recognized Lottoland for the “largest online gambling payout” due to a €90,000,000 (£79 million) payout issued to one lucky winner who bet on the outcome of a Eurojackpot drawing held back in June.
A group of international lottery betting operators have joined forces to create a new trade industry association. Lottoland has teamed up with myLotto24, Multilotto, Legacy8 and Lottogo to form the European Lotto Betting Association (ELBA).
Lottery betting sites may end up a victim of their own success. Regulators in the UK, Australia and elsewhere have begun moving from merely giving lottery betting operators the stink-eye to actually banning certain products.
The UK’s Health Lottery has launched a new online casino that promises to contribute a portion of all profits to good causes across the UK. Health Games resembles any other online casino with slots, table games, slingo and even live dealer games all licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.
