Cashless and contactless payment options are already the norm across much of the world, and the use of cash at retail is declining. As lottery operations adapt to current trends, IGT is ready to help with a full range of trusted solutions that support a convenient experience for players, retailers, and employees.

iLottery

IGT iLottery provides a complete cashless solution for player-funding options via standard banking and credit card processes, as well as payment providers like PayPal and Apple Pay. Players can also use IGT’s eWallet to top-up funds at a retail store. Using the eWallet in retail is not an internet transaction so any lottery can implement the feature, whether regulated to offer internet wagering or not.

Retail Self-Service

The cashless payment option available on all IGT vending machines minimizes cash and ticket handling for both instant and draw games, and allows players to purchase their favorite lottery games using their mobile device or a debit/credit card via insert, tap, or swipe payment technology.

These solutions allow players more payment choices, a faster checkout experience, and a more hygienic transaction. Lotteries benefit from a faster time to market and reduced PCI (payment card industry) scope and compliance, all while appealing to new player demographics, converting new customers, and supporting retailers with less cash management.
