Lotto.com Launches, Transforming How the Lottery Is Played
In partnership with QuickChek, Lotto.com Increases Accessibility of the Lottery, Delivering a Secure and Contactless Online Experience, Starting with New Jersey
JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lotto.com Inc., the first digital platform for buying lottery tickets on any device, with no app download or deposit required, today announced its official launch, starting in the state of New Jersey. The company is partnering with QuickChek, creating a unique partnership dynamic between a dot.com company and a brick-and-mortar convenience store chain.
Both Lotto.com and QuickChek are experts on delivering official state lottery tickets and complement each other via the brick and mortar offering from QuickChek and the accessible and modern approach to the lottery from Lotto.com. As the exclusive retail partner of Lotto.com, QuickChek enables the New Jersey-based startup to reach consumers via awareness in the iconic fresh convenience market chain’s 138 stores across the Garden State.
Headquartered on the Hudson River in Jersey City, Lotto.com is a registered courier of the New Jersey Lottery and only the second licensed lottery courier in the U.S. The company’s dual mission is to uniquely modernize how the lottery is played while increasing its benefit to the public by aiding state funding and bolstering the proceeds that benefit many New Jersey residents including teachers, police and fire personnel, and other public employees. Attracting a new generation of lottery players who value convenience and accessibility, the company offers consumers the benefits of a web-based platform – not a mobile app – meaning no downloads are necessary and access from any digital device is possible. Furthermore, with 57 percent of ecommerce sales in the U.S. happening outside of mobile apps, websites remain the most popular channel when making an online purchase (Source: Statista). In addition, Lotto.com does not require consumers to add money to their account in advance, enabling players to only pay for exactly what they purchase.
“Our team is here to promote the lottery in a way no one else imagined – a digital first user-centric way that requires no app downloads or deposits,” said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc. “At Lotto.com we are on a mission to increase contributions to good causes, tying them to every ticket sold. To help us achieve this, we’ve partnered with QuickChek, a leader in convenience and service. Coupling this offering with our best-in-class lottery distribution platform, we are able to deliver a seamless online experience for players in the most secure way possible.”
“We are no stranger to today’s digital world as we have been providing consumers with convenience through mobile ordering, our mobile rewards app, and the ability to order delivery online,” said QuickChek Vice President of Marketing and Operations, Don Leech. “Our partnership with Lotto.com will enable us to further meet the needs of consumers who prefer to shop and play online.”
Lotto.com operates a state-of-the-art e-commerce platform based on four key pillars, including convenience, security, safety, and peace of mind, all of which enables players to buy official state lottery tickets.
- Convenience: We offer a seamless way to play your favorite lottery games. If you are 18 years old or older you can pick your lucky numbers manually or use the platform’s Quick Pick random number generator.
- Security: Security is at the top of our list. Your information is secured behind several layers of protection. Payment information is managed by our industry-leading payment partners who comply with all PCI standards. Physical lottery tickets are stored in our fire-proof vault monitored 24/7.
- Safety: We take the appropriate measures to encourage our players to play responsibly and not run into any financial troubles. This includes providing the controls to set spending limits and schedule self-exclusion.We also perform age verification and geolocation checks to ensure proper use of the platform.
- Peace of Mind: There is no need to worry about losing your ticket or ownership disputes – it is a digital ticket and if you buy it, then you own it. It’s as simple as that. Plus, we’ll notify you if you won so you don’t have to set any “check your numbers” reminders.
By supporting user participation in U.S. state lotteries, Lotto.com helps fund state-run programs across education, parks, emergency responders, veterans’ health, and other vital services. Depending on the state, up to 50% of all lottery ticket sales support these initiatives. Since 1964, the modern lottery remains hugely popular in the U.S., and globally. In 2020 alone, lottery sales in the U.S. reached almost $90 billion, with nearly $27 billion distributed among community programs and other good causes (Source: Statista).
As the number one lottery retailer in New Jersey, QuickChek stores have proven to be a rewarding source for lottery players, having produced four million-dollar lottery winners in a four-month span between September 2020 and January 2021, including a $33.2 million Powerball jackpot winner on Jan. 31, 2021. A division of Murphy USA (NYSE: MUSA), QuickChek is based in Whitehouse Station, NJ, and has 157 total store locations.
As of today, anyone in the state of New Jersey can purchase lottery tickets via Lotto.com, as well as access information about previous and future draws. Looking ahead into the near future, Lotto.com has plans to expand nationally, and aims to bring this level of accessibility to lottery players in many other states across the U.S.

TaDa Gaming celebrates GiftCode’s successful first year since launch. Applicable to both slots and TaDa’s unique fishing-shooting games, GiftCode offers immediate rewards which can be effortlessly tailored and adapted to any operator requirement or marketing campaign.
Hitting its first anniversary, a minimum of 1,000,000 GiftCodes are now issued monthly through 300+ streamers with 100% take up. This strong creator eco-system enables codes to be delivered across media and platforms with tournaments, introductory rewards and churned player campaigns leading the way for operator success through powerful marketing alongside player rewards.
An uplift of Daily Active Users by a minimum of 18% and a 15% increase in engagement and player acquisition levels has confirmed that GiftCode is the simple and highly effective gamification tool the industry was lacking.
The 2024 initial test run in Brazil saw 100 streamers receive 500,000 GiftCode links. An instant redemption rate of 95+% and new player sign up increasing by more than 30,000 per month confirmed TaDa’s research and development and gave operators confidence to incorporate GiftCode to their offering.
Now, with the addition of personalised codes for player segmentation, regionally specific influencer packs and multi-brand and aggregator deployment, few other gamification tools can offer such consistently high impact and measurable results, meaning this is a very happy anniversary for TaDa.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “GiftCode’s inherent simplicity is the key to its success. It does what it is supposed to do and does it fantastically well for both operators and players. Our new enhancements make GiftCode even more engaging, securing its future as our go-to gamification tool.”

South Africa is once again positioning itself as a leader in ethical gambling practices, with the upcoming Responsible Gambling Summit 2025 set to take place on 13–14 November 2025 at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, Gauteng. This landmark event will gather international experts, regulators, and industry professionals to address the most pressing challenges in responsible gambling across Africa.
Hosted by the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF) in collaboration with major regulatory bodies such as the National Gambling Board, Eastern Cape Gambling Board, and Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board, the summit aims to drive forward an evidence-based, solutions-focused agenda that ensures gambling growth does not come at the cost of public well-being.
As South Africa continues to see rising participation in both land-based and gambling online, the summit is timely. It will tackle issues ranging from technological safeguards and public health integration, to policy harmonisation and vulnerable population protection.
Advocating for Safer Online Gambling
As South Africa strengthens its role in setting responsible gambling standards, SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za remains at the forefront of this effort in the online casino space. Our portal is more than a online casino listing site — it is a trusted source of expert advice, consumer guidance, and responsible gambling advocacy.
Since our inception, we have maintained a clear policy: we only recommend licensed, regulated casinos in south africa that adhere to strict player protection measures. These include transparent terms, fair bonus practices, and built-in tools such as deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion options.
“The online gambling landscape in South Africa is growing rapidly,” says a spokesperson for SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za. “But with growth comes responsibility. Our mission is to ensure players have access to safe, ethical gambling environments. We support the goals of the Responsible Gambling Summit and encourage every operator to prioritise the welfare of their players.”
Practical Frameworks for Change
The Responsible Gambling Summit 2025 will focus on seven key thematic areas:
- Understanding gambling behaviour and disorders through science-led approaches.
- Overcoming barriers to effective policy implementation, including gaps in education and enforcement.
- Leveraging technology, such as AI-driven risk detection and real-time player monitoring.
- Adopting global regulatory best practices tailored to South African realities.
- Protecting at-risk individuals and communities, especially youth and those in lower-income brackets.
- Educating the public on the risks of gambling and how to stay safe.
- Building international networks to ensure future readiness and consistency across borders.
Each session is designed to lead to real-world outcomes, with progress monitored and reported biennially. This commitment to transparency aligns with broader calls for industry-wide accountability.
How Players Can Gamble Responsibly
Whether you’re new to online casinos or an experienced player, here are some essential responsible gambling tips:
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Set a time limit before you start and stick to it.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Avoid playing when you are upset, stressed, or intoxicated.
- Use built-in responsible gaming tools provided by licensed operators.
- Keep track of your play history and regularly review your habits.
- Seek help if gambling is no longer fun, or if it begins to impact your personal life.
At SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za, we make these practices easier by highlighting casinos that offer responsible gambling features as part of our review process. Each recommended site undergoes a thorough evaluation based on licensing, fairness, transparency, and player protection standards.
Our Commitment to the South African Gambling Community
With a growing base of South African users, SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za plays an important educational role in the online gambling space. Our platform offers in-depth guides, news updates, free bonus casinos, free spins casinos and strategy articles designed to help players make informed decisions.
We actively follow developments in gambling regulation and work to ensure our listings are in line with the latest responsible gambling initiatives. As the conversation around ethical gambling evolves, so does our content — reflecting the high standards that South African players deserve.
South Africa’s leadership in responsible gambling sets a high standard not just for the continent, but for the global industry. By playing at casinos that are transparent, regulated, and committed to safety — such as those featured on SouthAfricanCasinos.co.za — players can enjoy the entertainment of gambling while staying in control.
