Dublin, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Online Lottery Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The online lottery market is experiencing robust growth, projected to expand from $13.52 billion in 2025 to $21.33 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.6%. This expansion is driven by government initiatives on lottery digitization, increased familiarity with online gaming, cashless transactions, and centrally managed lottery platforms. Enhanced digital infrastructure, cross-border platforms, and demands for real-time results further accelerate market expansion.
Smartphone proliferation is a key contributor to market growth. As smartphones become more affordable and technologically advanced, they allow greater access to online lottery platforms through user-friendly mobile apps.

Organizations are focusing on digital platforms for wider accessibility, diminishing reliance on physical outlets. For example, the Government of Meghalaya introduced EasyLottery in 2024, India’s first all-digital lottery platform, emphasizing professional and transparent operations. EasyLottery allows online ticket purchases and delivers a smooth user journey from acquisition to prize collection while promoting responsible gaming.
In a significant financial move, Allwyn International AG and OPAP S.A. completed a business combination in October 2025, creating one of the largest lottery-led gaming operators globally. Valued at approximately €16 billion, this merger aims to accelerate international growth and broaden product offerings in regulated markets.
Key players in this burgeoning market include Camelot Group, International Game Technology Plc, Florida Lottery, ZEAL Network, Lotto247, and China Sports Lottery Operation and Management Co. Ltd., among others. These entities continue to drive change and innovation within the industry.
Geographically, Europe led the market in 2025, while the Asia-Pacific region is set to be the fastest-growing area through 2030. Countries covered in market analyses include Australia, China, Germany, India, Japan, the UK, the USA, and more, highlighting a diverse and dynamic global market landscape.
The online lottery market encompasses sales of various digital formats, including draw-based, instant, and sports lotteries.
