STL and Betware have delivered a Research, Development and Innovation Project to the Spanish National Lottery (LAE).
Sistemas Técnicos de Loterías del Estado (STL) and Betware have developed and delivered an Internet Solution for the Spanish National Lottery (LAE) enabling LAE to sell its products via the Internet.
Players can now enjoy the following at www.loteriasyapuestas.es:
- Classic lotto games:
La Primitiva (6 of 49 with a draw twice a week), Euromillones (a game run in cooperation with France and the UK and offering big jackpots), Bonoloto, El Gordo (one of the oldest lotto games) - Sports games:
La Quiniela and El Quinigol
In conjunction with the re-launch, LAE decided to introduce 2 innovations: Lototurf and Quintuple Plus, which are Internet versions of highly popular horse race games.
"Nowadays sales through this alternate channel are a must" - said Alfonso Pedro Fernández Garcia, New Media Sales, Communications and Logistics Director at STL - "the rapid growth of Internet penetration that we've been witnessing in Spain, makes it imperative to implement new sales channels in order to stay competitive."
To meet the needs of modern players, the solution delivered by STL and Betware enables LAE to offer its Internet games with a connection for handling credit card payments and SMS gateway. To make betting even more convenient, the players receive additional control of their accounts (access to their purchase history, visualisation of all transactions, responsible gaming features and more). The site offers a choice of five languages: Spanish, Catalan, Euskera, Gallego and Valenciano.
"There was a lot of anticipation regarding this project as it brings the Lottery closer to its customers" - said Marcelo Ruiz Gálvez New Media Sales, Communications and Logistics Co-Director, STL - "Betware has successfully completed this complex software development. The games are not only up and running but offer new functionalities such as game results, prize verification or favourite numbers, among others."
The main advantages of Betware?s platform are its flexible nature, scalability for new functionalities and gaming capabilities that support integration of new games into a secure environment. Moreover, Betware's platform is integrated to lottery's Central System as well as a Content Management System. The solution offers complete security for the players as it is uses 3DSecure technology for integration with banks.
"This is the largest data centre we have worked with so far" - explained Wojtek Bachorski, Marketing Director at Betware - "and we now look forward to further challenges". The scheduled future phases of the Project will bring new games along with additional functionalities.
Spanish players have been enjoying their favourite games via the Internet from the 23rd of June at www.loteriasyapuestas.es.
