Next Generation iLOTTERY

Lottery as a Service™

For SME operators, we are the full stack: digital lottery platform, content, retail, integrations, and onboarding. Everything they need to launch and scale, with world-class stability — at a fraction of traditional cost — built by the creators of the world’s first iLottery.

Lottery launchpad

For larger operators, BW acts as an innovation layer — helping them to launch new game formats using Lotto as a Service and Raffle as a Service™ quickly and cost-effectively — independently of their core platforms.

Game studio

BW’s eInstants offer a new level of engagement — designed to play more like casual mobile games than traditional scratch cards. They’re fast to launch, easy to localize, and fully customizable — from visuals to payout logic. Certified for insured jackpots.

The global lottery market is worth over €300B — but small and mid-sized operators are being left behind.

They’re under pressure to digitize, modernize, and grow… yet forced to choose between outdated platforms and enterprise systems built for tier-one operators,  overpriced systems that take a year to launch and a full team to maintain.

We built BW to change that

Our Lottery as a Service™ platform is a full-stack, cloud-native solution designed specifically for SME’s: regional lotteries, charities, and emerging operators. It includes everything they need to launch and scale — fast, securely, and affordably.

What’s inside

Lottery as a Service™

a full 360° platform: web, mobile, and retail-ready

Lotto as a Service

launch and innovate lotto-style game formats with full control over rules, draws, prize logic, and UX

Raffle as a Service™

powerful tools to create high-impact raffles, charity draws, and pop-up campaigns. including integrations with selfie-based formats like SelfiRaffle, association raffles, and fully white-labeled solutions for sports and charity partners.

eInstants as a Service

mobile-first, casual-style games with deep localization, fully configurable, and jackpot insurance compliant.

Sweepstakes as a Service

virtual coin and promotional sweepstakes draws for compliant, high-engagement play

Retail & Omnichannel Support

full POS integration, digital terminals, and seamless player experience across every channel

Segmentation, bonus engines, gamification tools

and 3rd party games management

We’re ISO 27001 certified. We operate in regulated markets. And we scale with you — from launch to long-term growth.

But it’s not just the platform. It’s the ecosystem.

Our aggregation layer connects operators to the best in the industry:

  • Sportsbook, slots, live games, and casino content
  • Global payment processors and cash-out tools
  • KYC and AML compliance providers
  • Jackpot insurance
  • AI-powered CRM, marketing automation, and omnichannel player engagement
  • Live draw studios and stream-ready video lottery formats
  • Retail hardware integrations — run on any terminal that supports Android, Linux, or Windows

We integrate with everyone that matters — and we’re constantly adding more. You don’t have to piece it together yourself.

And we deliver fast. We’ve proven that operators can go live in a matter of weeks or a few short months — not quarters like much of the industry, where timelines often stretch beyond eight months.

This isn’t just a platform. It’s a network. A stack. A partner. And it’s finally tailored to the operators who’ve waited far too long for modern, scalable lottery tech.

And best of all? We’ve done it before. BW was founded by the team behind Betware — the company that launched the world’s first iLottery — and we’ve brought that same pioneering spirit into a platform that finally gives smaller operators the tools to compete and win.

Fast. Modular. Affordable. Regulator-ready.

This is Lottery as a Service™ — and it’s built for you.

Even the most established lotteries are under growing pressure to innovate — but their core platforms weren’t built for agility. Launching new products often means long timelines, high cost, and significant operational risk.

BW acts as a plug-in innovation layer. With Lotto as a Service and Raffle as a Service™, we give national operators a fast, low-risk path to launch new game formats — from digital-only raffles and hybrid draw mechanics to gamified instant-win experiences — all without touching legacy infrastructure.

We support everything from strategic, long-term offerings to quick-turnaround pop-up campaigns — including SelfiRaffle and Association Raffle, fully white-labeled solutions built for sports, charities, and cause-driven engagement. These formats allow lotteries to engage new audiences, drive participation, and connect with cultural moments — without overhauling their core systems.

We also enable next-gen eInstants, with mobile-first gameplay that feels like casual games, not static scratch cards. Our content is fully localizable, jackpot insurance compliant, and configurable down to payout logic, UX, and responsible gaming parameters.

Our modular, API-first platform integrates cleanly with existing preferred lottery infrastructure suppliers and systems — making it easy to test, launch, and scale new products in parallel with core operations. No disruption. Just innovation at speed.


Player expectations are evolving — they want more than scratch card mechanics. They want gameplay that’s mobile-first, dynamic, and rewarding. Traditional instant games can’t keep up.

BW’s eInstants as a Service™ brings that next-gen experience to life. Our games are built to look and feel like casual mobile titles — fast-paced, visually rich, and deeply engaging. They’re not only more fun to play — they’re designed to retain attention and support recurring engagement.

Every eInstant is fully configurable and localizable — from payout structure and volatility to visuals, language, and responsible gaming settings. We support multiple draw triggers, jackpot configurations, and campaign logic to adapt to any jurisdiction or business model. Our games meet the compliance standards required by a licensed jackpot insurer, enabling operators to access insured jackpot coverage independently if desired.

They’re ideal for always-on content as well as time-sensitive pop-up campaigns — easily paired with raffle draws or used as standalone formats. Whether you’re targeting younger digital-native players or expanding content variety for existing users, eInstants offer a versatile tool for acquisition, retention, and reactivation.

We currently have 15+ eInstant titles live across multiple regulated markets, including Scandinavia, Central Europe, and North America — with more in development. From holiday-themed board games like Holiday Wins to animated adventures like Soul Keeper and Fruitopian Wins, our portfolio covers a range of mechanics, themes, and volatility levels to fit every market and player type.

As regulations around real-money gaming tighten, BW’s Sweepstakes as a Service™ platform offers a fully compliant way for operators to run prize-based social gaming experiences — without requiring a gambling license. Designed for sports clubs, charities, influencers, media brands, and entertainment businesses, the platform enables anyone to launch their own branded sweepstakes casino — legally and at speed.

Players purchase virtual PlayCoins, used strictly for entertainment purposes within a range of slots and casino-style games. These coins cannot be withdrawn and hold no monetary value. Sweepstake entries — in the form of promotional tickets or sweepstake coins — are earned through gameplay and engagement actions, and are the only method through which players can win real prizes.

Additional platform features include:

  • Full white-label customization with brand theming, UI, and campaign tools
  • A flexible bonus system with mission rewards, loyalty tiers, and XP-based progression
  • Built-in compliance tools, including KYC/AML (Sumsub), payment integrations (Worldline PaymentIQ), and responsible gaming features
  • Multi-currency and multi-language support, real-time reporting, and a back office for promotion and content management
  • Secure, scalable infrastructure hosted on AWS/GCP/Azure, with high uptime and data protection

15y+ in the Lottery industry

Bwloto (BW) was founded by a group of lottery and gaming veterans with deep roots in digital transformation.

Our leadership team includes former Betware executives who helped launch the world’s first iLottery, along with senior figures from global operators and suppliers — including the former CEO of the Icelandic National Lottery and former CCO of Novomatic Lotteries.

After Betware’s successful exit to Novomatic, we regrouped to build the modern stack the market actually needs.

We’re headquartered in Iceland, operational in Serbia, and deployed globally.

We’ve built platforms used by national lotteries, developed top-performing digital content, and led regulated rollouts in multiple jurisdictions. Now, we’re taking that experience and applying it to what the industry needs most: fast, flexible, and affordable lottery technology built for the real world.

We’re product-first. We love a good raffle. And we believe in building a better world through lotteries, charities, and helping good causes everywhere.

At our core, we believe everything is possible — then make it fast. That’s what drives BW.

Join the revolution. The pioneers are back
