Lottery
has come way forward and has become sophisticated with the time. Gone are the days when paper based lotteries
used to rule the market. I agree, paper
based lotteries still exist, but if you look at the sales it is declining year-on-year.
The need of the hour for the startup lotteries
is to look for a technology provider who knows the market and offers
multi-channel sales platform with end-to-end solution.
Lotteries work in different ways in different
markets. Lottery technology is not “one
size fits all” approach, hence it is essential to choose right technology for
the right market. Our experts have
decades of experience and are well aware of geographical aspects of the lottery. LocusPlay brings you diverse aspects in our
technology.
mPOS terminals - You can
run as a mobile point-of-sale operation through the use of mobile agents. You do not require a physical booth to sell the lottery tickets. Agents carry the terminal on field and sell tickets instantly. This
terminal runs on a battery that lasts more than a day. It operates through a cellular network.
Online lottery - Through
this form of lottery, players can play online from home at anytime. Players can e-Transfer the funds in their
wallets via credit/debit card. Winning
tickets are processed directly online and the proceeds can be used to fund
future playing or withdrawn to customer’s bank account.
SMS betting - This is
another innovative channel which is largely popular in the emerging countries. Players can place a bet through SMS. A player can play SMS lottery through any
mobile phone. The bet amount charged would be deducted directly from your
credit in the cell phone just like a mobile wallet. Players do not require a Smartphone or
Internet connection to play SMS lottery and can play anywhere, anytime.
USSD betting - USSD
betting is quite similar to SMS betting, you do not require a smartphone or an
Internet connection. Players can place a
real-time bet by following menu driven instructions on the phone.
