FDJ Announces Completion of Acquisition of Premier Lotteries Ireland

La Française des Jeux (FDJ) has announced that it has completed the acquisition of the entire share capital of Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI), which holds exclusive rights to operate the Irish National Lottery until 2034. This announcement follows the approval granted by the Irish National Lottery regulator at the beginning of October.
The acquisition of PLI is the Group’s first venture operating a lottery outside France, and reflects FDJ’s strategic ambition to become an international B2C operator in lottery, sports betting and online gaming.
Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and CEO of FDJ Group, said: “La Française des Jeux has opened a new chapter in its history by fulfilling its ambition to expand its international presence as a lottery and online gaming operator. The synergies between FDJ and Premier Lotteries Ireland will draw on our respective and acknowledged skills to offer people in Ireland a recreational, responsible range of games.”
Premier Lotteries Ireland’s CEO Andrew Algeo said: “FDJ’s backing marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in PLI’s history, which will benefit Ireland’s National Lottery and its many stakeholders. I am grateful to both Ontario Teachers’ and An Post who have been generous supporters of PLI, and the National Lottery has grown substantially and sustainably on their watch. The PLI team looks forward to further improving the Irish National Lottery with FDJ and contributing to FDJ’s international lottery expansion.”
In 2022, Premier Lotteries Ireland recorded gross gaming revenue (GGR) of €399 million and reported net gaming revenue of €140 million with an EBITDA margin comparable to that of FDJ. PLI has held the Irish National Lottery licence since 2014 and holds exclusive rights to operate this until November 2034.
With more than 200 employees, Premier Lotteries Ireland offers a range of around 40 games, available through a diversified network of more than 5300 points of sale as well as online, with over 15% digital sales. Draw games make up two-thirds of its sales, and instant-win games one-third. In 2022, PLI redistributed 65% of its gross gaming revenue (GGR), or nearly €260 million, to more than 4000 charities and Good Causes.
A strategic plan aimed at accelerating PLI’s growth and boosting profitability is being jointly drawn up. The plan is based on sharing the two operators’ best practices and on FDJ’s experience to enhance PLI’s instant-win games portfolio, boost the draw games player base and further improve the digital experience for players in Ireland.

Omnigame celebrates win at SBC Awards Europe

Omnigame, the full-service iGaming business, is celebrating industry recognition after being awarded Gaming Mechanic/Feature of the Year at the SBC Awards Europe.
Hosted at the Hilton Malta, the awards recognised the achievements of the very best operators, affiliates, suppliers, payment providers, and game developers across the European betting and gaming industry.
Omnigame’s creative twist on traditional slot machines, its ‘Wheels of Reels’ mechanic, incorporates ‘wheels’ of differing lengths rather than the traditional rectangular matrix. The innovative spinning mechanic provided a new approach to slot gaming, allowing Omnigame to stand apart from its competition in the category.
The creativity of the mechanic has seen Stream of Luck become one of the most popular games in the Omnigame portfolio.
Peter Weinreich, CEO of Omnigame, said: “Receiving the award that highlights the innovative nature of our ‘Wheels of Reels’ mechanic at the SBC Awards Europe is a massive credit to the whole team at Omnigame. We are incredibly proud of our achievement, which has provided a fresh take on the traditional slot experience.
“We have worked hard to provide exciting games to players, and this recognition of our innovative approach is a fantastic moment for us.”
