National Lottery plc, a subsidiary of IZI Group plc, has just chosen iGaming company EveryMatrix as the online games provider for the National Lottery of Malta.

The IZI Group subsidiary recently won the concession to manage and operate the national lottery of Malta, taking over from Maltco Lotteries.

This means that, for the first time in 18 years, the country’s national lottery will be run by a fully owned Maltese company.

EveryMatrix will be supplying National Lottery plc with its suite of online products, thus integrating the IGT retail transaction engine into its CasinoEngine solution, the iGaming Integration Platform, via IGT’s Aurora Anywhere, making all of the National Lottery’s draw-based games available online, on both desktops and mobile devices.

“We are very proud to be able to support National Lottery plc in this way. We believe the benefits delivered by our system will enable the national lottery to safely channel Maltese players away from illegal or abusive secondary lotteries,” EveryMatrix Group CEO Ebbe Groes said.

“The integration of the world’s number one lottery system provider speaks volumes about the performance of our platform,” he concluded.
