The Lottery is NSoft’s new game category which gives players a chance to bet on outcomes of actual lottery draws from all around the world. Players place bets on the results of international lotteries at configurable odds.

It is simple as that! Lottery types are categorized as lotteries with the bonus ball (powerball and additional ball) and lotteries without the bonus ball. Players can also bet on drum-based draws or RNG (Random Number Generator) based draws.

NSoft Lottery is provided through Betradar Unified Odds Feed (UOF), which covers 160+ lotteries from over 30 countries. Also, UOF minimises the possibilities of errors and disturbances in production.

The motive for making this game is a combination of several factors. Lotto is a top-rated, classic game, which was missing from NSoft’s portfolio. After several requests from clients, and based on our partnership with Betradar, we decided to expand our offer with this game. Worldwide lotteries which are present in this game leave the possibility of attracting an equally diverse, global clientele.

Insurance of Quality

This product was built to satisfy both betting operators and the players. In the last year of product development, a special team within the NSoft Games sector was responsible for this project. A group of seven dedicated experts were in charge of development, business and Quality assurance (QA). The team had in mind the future development of the product. Besides the must-have highest security standards and stability, the team wanted to build a product which can efficiently adapt and new features can be included.

With the mobile-first approach in application development, players have everything they need right in front of them. NSoft Lottery for the online channel is visually attractive, easy to use. Our cloud-based deployment results in an outstanding performance of the game. Built with cutting-edge technology, NSoft Lottery stands out as an example of the future of microservice development in the betting world.

Lottery service ensures an easy and seamless integration. If you have integration with our Seven platform and have no special regulation requirements, then you are ready to use Lottery products on your online channel. Everything that is required is for you to embed our client application to your site, and you are live!

So far, full web clients from the region and several African countries have integrated NSoft Lottery. As early as the second quarter of this year, Lottery will also be available for web client integration.

Regulations & certification

When it comes to Lottery certification, there is one notably beneficial thing for customers.

Since the operation of the product is enabled through a certified Betradar Unified Odds Feed (UOF), it is not necessary to provide additional certificates, only to test the Lottery product with our Seven platform. In our experience, all regulators from the client countries to which we have placed Lottery have accepted this way of certification.

Reducing procedures even by one step is extremely valuable in the intricate world of regulations and certifications.

Future plans

Besides online channel, our goal is to be able to support the retail channel soon with additional features like flexible printed offers, retail and online visualisation, risk management, and custom odds management. This will allow our clients to manage their offer fully. Additionally, our plan is to soon release Lottery inside our Android and iOS applications.

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.

Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced the launch of its first branded, live dealer studio inside one of its world-class destinations made possible through its partnership with Evolution. The debut of the space inside Tropicana Atlantic City in New Jersey marks the second custom studio made for Caesars live dealer offerings on its online casino platforms following the launch of its first such studio in Pennsylvania earlier this year.

Players 21 and older on Caesars’ online gaming platforms Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino can now enjoy a live dealer experience on mobile that draws inspiration from table game play at the Las Vegas Strip’s most iconic casino, Caesars Palace.

“The opening of this branded studio at one of our Caesars Rewards destinations introduces the newest addition to our ever-expanding online gaming platforms. We’re always striving to marry the world-class experiences our players enjoy at our destinations with the online casino play they love,” said Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.

The New Jersey studio features five blackjack tables, which includes a VIP-exclusive blackjack table, one baccarat table and one roulette table. The tables feature custom felts with imagery and branding from iconic Caesars destinations on the Las Vegas Strip including Caesars Palace & Horseshoe. The studio also caters to VIP players, much like Caesars Rewards destinations, with a VIP-exclusive blackjack table offering an authentic 1-to-1 live high-limit blackjack experience, that could previously only be found in a physical casino.

“Evolution is thrilled to open a second dedicated Caesars live dealer studio inside Tropicana Atlantic City. This studio was made possible through our close partnership with Caesars. Once fully operational, it will generate approximately two hundred job opportunities in Atlantic City. We’re very proud to see a concrete example of how iGaming helps to create jobs and develop the workforce in our local communities,” said Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer of Evolution North America.

Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino are available on iOS, Android, and desktop for those 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. Each platform offers a dynamic online casino experience with a range of unique Caesarsbranded games alongside hundreds of classic land-based casino favorites and core casino game mechanics, including high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, variations of poker and roulette, and more.
