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 proven stability at a fraction of the 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 launch new game formats using Lotto as a Service and Raffle as a Service™ quickly and cost-effectively, independent of their core platforms.

Game studio

BW’s eInstants are designed to play more like casual mobile games than traditional scratch cards. Fast to launch, easy to localize, and fully configurable, 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They’re under pressure to digitize and grow, yet the only options are outdated platforms or enterprise systems built for tier-one operators. 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 for SME operators: regional lotteries, charities, and emerging markets. It includes everything they need to launch and scale quickly, securely, and affordably.

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
  • CRM, marketing automation, and player engagement tools
  • Live draw studios and stream-ready video lottery formats
  • Retail hardware integrations (runs on any terminal supporting Android, Linux, or Windows)

We integrate with the providers that matter, and we’re constantly adding more. You don’t have to piece it together yourself.

And we deliver fast. Operators can go live in weeks or a few short months, not the eight-plus months that’s become standard in the industry.

BW was founded by the team behind Betware, the company that launched the world’s first iLottery. We’ve taken that experience and built a platform that gives smaller operators real tools to launch, grow, and compete.

Fast. Modular. Affordable. Regulator-ready.

Lottery as a Service™, built for you.

Game studio development and launch illustration

Even the most established lotteries face pressure to launch new products, but their core platforms weren’t built for it. New formats mean long timelines, high cost, and real operational risk.

BW acts as a plug-in innovation layer. With Lotto as a Service and Raffle as a Service™, national operators get a fast, low-risk path to launch new game formats: digital-only raffles, hybrid draw mechanics, 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 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 lottery infrastructure suppliers and systems, making it easy to test, launch, and scale new products alongside core operations.


Players 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 experience to life. Our games are built to look and feel like casual mobile titles: fast-paced, visually rich, and designed to keep players coming back. 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, covering payout structure, volatility, 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, so operators can access insured jackpot coverage independently if they choose.

They work for always-on content and time-sensitive pop-up campaigns alike, 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 are a practical tool for acquisition, retention, and reactivation.

We currently have 25+ game titles developed and certified across eInstants, crash games, and sports formats, 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 compliant way for operators to run prize-based social gaming experiences without requiring a gambling licence. Designed for sports clubs, charities, influencers, media brands, and entertainment businesses, the platform lets anyone launch their own branded sweepstakes casino, legally and quickly.

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

15y+ in the Lottery industry

Bwloto (BW) was founded by a group of lottery and gaming veterans.

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 applying that experience to what the industry is missing: fast, flexible, and affordable lottery technology built for real-world operators.

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.

Everything is possible. Then make it fast. That’s BW.
