Intralot Extends Dutch Contract

Intralot has extended its contract with two major lottery operators in the Netherlands, extending contracts when the two organizations merge this year.

Greek lottery solution provider Intralot Group announced that its Netherlands-based subsidiary Intralot Nederland BV has secured a three-year extension of its existing contract with the Nederlandse Staatsloterij/De Lotto. The two Dutch gambling operators recently revealed that they will combine their operations to create a single entity offering a wide variety of lottery and other games across the Netherlands.

The new contract will be valid for the next three years, or through April 2019. It may be extended for one more year, provided that all involved parties agree. The new agreement is actually an extension of a successful six-year partnership between Intralot and the lottery operators. The original deal was signed back in 2008, following a dual international tender carried out by the two lottery companies.

Under the agreement, Intralot will continue delivering its LOTOSTM O/S platform that is connected to as many as 5,000 proprietary terminals, as well as other related options. The operations of the newly merged lottery business will also be facilitated with Intralot’s Prime and Disaster Data Center, players and retailers call center, and a number of other services and solutions.

Commenting on the extended agreement with Nederlandse Staatsloterij/De Lotto, Intralot COO Nikos Nikolakopoulos said that they are extremely pleased with the opportunity to keep on working with the two Dutch lottery operators at a time when they are entering a new era in their development as a merged entity.

Both lottery operators have long been offering a wide variety of lottery and numerical games, as well as other related gaming options. All their games are featured in land-based facilities across the Netherlands and online
