The three-year contract commenced December 1, 2022 and will automatically renew for one additional year.

This is the second consecutive contract where Pollard Banknote has been named primary supplier, marking the continuation of the long-standing partnership between Pollard Banknote and Norsk Tipping.

The Lottery has also leveraged Pollard Banknote’s Scratch FX™ innovation, which adds sparkle and shines brightly at retail, to drive record-setting sales that benefit good causes across Norway.

Throughout the duration of the contract, Pollard Banknote will continue to work alongside Norsk Tipping to ensure it upholds sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

“Pollard Banknote has been a trusted partner for many years and through this new contract we look forward to leveraging more of their industry experience and expertise, including strategic marketing services, as well as exciting product innovations,” said Hans Erland Ringsvold, Head of Gaming Operations, Norsk Tipping. “We are excited to continue to work together to offer our players instant scratch tickets, both retail and online, in an innovative and sustainable manner that grow revenues to the benefit of sports, culture, and humanitarian organisations in Norway.”

Inside GEO Slovenia As the Next Emerging Goldmine

Published

on

Slovenia is definitely one of the most promising GEOs for the iGaming niche. 

That is why the N1 Partners team has collected insights that will help to work more accurately with the audience, increase ROI and build effective advertising campaigns for the GEO. 

Let’s look at the big picture to understand the potential of the region better. Slovenia is a small country in Central Europe with a population of about 2.1 million people and its capital in Ljubljana. The official language is Slovenian, the currency is euro, and the time zone is CET (UTC+1). 

With the background of a high living standard and a stable economy, the market creates favorable conditions for online gambling: the iGaming sector is already showing steady growth, and its volume was estimated at about $497 million by 2025.

Reasons to test Slovenia

Slovenia is a promising region, but it often turns out to be underestimated in the iGaming niche.

Top 3 reasons to drive traffic to Slovenia right now:

  • Low competition.
    Slovenia is the country with a low share of online gambling in the market. For partners, this is a signal: with proper localisation and strategy, you can enter a less competitive environment and make a long-term profit.

  • Solvent players.
    The GDP per capita in Slovenia is about $35.3 thousand, which confirms the high level of audience solvency and the potential for stable LTV.

  • High potential.
    Slovenia is not an overheated online market: in European comparison, the share of online gambling in the overall revenue structure remains relatively low. This means that the market has not yet fully realised its digital potential and there’s a room for growth.

Players’ behaviour

Slovenian users are more likely to choose online platforms due to their convenience, wide choice of games and accessibility from mobile devices. 

In this region, smartphones account for the majority of iGaming traffic — 86.45%, which requires the adaptation of all funnels to mobile devices.

Gender and age

  • Men — 63%, average age 31-35 years
  • Women — 37%, average age 26-30 years

According to N1 Partners, the iGaming market remains predominantly male, which is confirmed by external research: the main audience is men aged 25-44. At the same time, the proportion of women is gradually increasing, expanding the segment’s potential.

Top 10 slots Among N1 Partners Players in Slovenia

N1 Partners team notes that players prefer slots with recognizable series, bonus features and adventure themes — this directly affects retention and LTV.

  • Legacy of Dead
  • Book of Dead
  • Heist Stakes
  • Book of the Fallen
  • Gates of Olympus Super Scatter
  • Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe
  • Magic Apple 2
  • Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness
  • Gonzo’s Quest II: Return to El Dorado
  • More Magic Apple

Conclusion

Slovenia is a GEO with strong and sustainable potential and a high share of mobile traffic, as well as a growing iGaming market, ideal for those working with gambling traffic.

N1 Partners analytics confirms that with the right localisation strategy and taking into account the characteristics of the audience, this market is able to bring stable profits and long-term growth within the framework of iGaming partner programs.
