Lottoland Reaches 10 Million Customers

When it comes to rapid growth, few companies can rival Lottoland. From zero to ten million customers in less than six years is a remarkable achievement. No wonder Lottoland has been dubbed "one of Europe's fastest-growing companies."

It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating our millionth customer. The customer in question was Jan, a father of two who lives just outside of Frankfurt. Back in May 2015 he got to experience a taste of the lottery winner lifestyle when we arranged for him to drive a top-of-the-line Porsche 911 for the weekend.

Less than a year later we had three million customers and now, in the middle of 2019, we've hit ten million.

In other words, if Lottoland was a city, it would have a higher population than Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield and Birmingham combined!

Lottoland – Lottery Operator Of The Year

In February 2017 Lottoland was voted Lottery Operator of the Year at the prestigious International Gaming Awards, and repeated the feat the following year at the 2018 ceremony. 

Fending off competition from a whole host of rival companies, including Camelot, Lottoland has once again proven itself to be an industry leader.

Lottoland’s CEO Nigel Birrell said, "This award is a fantastic testament to the hard work and creativity that has driven our business forward over the course of the past three years. It’s a huge honour that our achievements are being recognised by our industry peers. I couldn’t be prouder."

Since our launch in May 2013, Lottoland has gained over 10 million customers worldwide, and paid out millions in prizes.
