Founded in 2013, Kootac has evolved from a European start-up into a leading global provider of B2B online lottery and raffle solutions. Headquartered in Malta with international offices in Slovakia, Austria, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates, the company combines cutting-edge technology with deep local market understanding to deliver next‑generation multi‑channel, multi‑lingual lottery platforms. Kootac’s white‑label offerings enable operators to launch branded lottery products rapidly in regulated, emerging, and unregulated markets worldwide. The company’s milestones include the 2014 launch of Playeurolotto, the first multi‑currency, multi‑lingual secondary lottery platform backed by insurance, and the 2017 introduction of Gigalotto, the first white‑label global messenger lottery platform. In 2020, Kootac launched Mahzooz, the UAE’s first nationally recognised numbers draw. The company holds both UK and Curaçao gaming licences and serves a diverse range of clients through its customizable end‑to‑end platform.
Detailed Review
Business Model
Kootac positions itself as a full-suite B2B lottery technology partner, offering operators a turnkey solution that covers everything from regulatory compliance and insurance‑backed prize coverage to player acquisition and retention tools. The core platform is built to be flexible, supporting web, mobile, app, agent, and kiosk channels. A notable differentiator is Kootac’s emphasis on “secondary lottery” models—allowing operators to offer games tied to official national draws without holding a primary lottery licence.
Products and Platforms
The company’s product line includes Playeurolotto, a multi‑currency, multi‑lingual secondary lottery platform launched in 2014, backed by insurance to guarantee prize payouts. Gigalotto, launched in 2017, is the first white‑label global messenger lottery platform, enabling lottery play through messaging apps. Mahzooz, launched in 2020, is the UAE’s first government‑permitted numbers draw and has become a flagship consumer brand under Kootac’s technology. In 2022, Kootac introduced a real‑time Agent Management System for managing single and super agents, including commission tracking and reporting.
Leadership and Team
Kootac’s leadership, under CEO Dr. Annamaria Remes since 2018, focuses on modern product innovation and market expansion. Dr. Remes is a mathematician with 23 years of CEO experience across European web technology companies. The company maintains a lean international team estimated between 50 and 200 employees, and continues to invest in licensing, compliance, and localisation capabilities. While not a publicly traded company, Kootac’s operational footprint and client portfolio suggest a mature, well‑capitalised enterprise.
