From co-owning a national lottery company to licensing the platform on simple terms — ErinSpark™ offers four proven engagement models. Start where it suits you and evolve between models as your market matures.
Each model defines who owns the licence, who runs the operation and how value is shared — choose one model or progress through them as your business grows.
We incorporate a local company with you and co-own the lottery business — shared equity, shared profit and shared risk.
Licence the ErinSpark™ central system and terminals — you operate under your own licence with full control of the business.
Your licence, our team — we run the entire operation end-to-end for you under a management contract.
We design, build and deliver a complete, operating lottery business — handed to you ready to own from day one.
The deepest form of partnership: we bring the platform, terminals, game content and resident technical and operational teams; you bring the licence, government relationships and local network — together we own a local lottery company.
Operators holding a licence or with a clear licence path that want a technology and capital partner for a long-term market play.
Dividends and sales-linked returns by equity ratio — the technology partner typically holds 40–49%, leaving operating and regulatory decisions with local shareholders.
Central system, terminal hardware, game content, launch teams and a resident operations bench.
Licence ownership, the regulatory relationship, board majority and ultimate control of the company.
The lightest way to work together: we licence the ErinSpark™ platform and terminals to a licensed operator. You run the business; we keep the software current, secure and certified.
Established or newly licensed operators with their own team that want a fast, low-capital start.
Annual licence fee plus per-ticket or per-transaction fees, with optional game-content revenue share — choose only the modules you need.
The audited central system, terminal firmware, integration APIs and 7×24 support under a defined SLA.
Full operational control, your retail channel, player data — and ownership of your brand and licence.
Your licence stays yours — we run the operation end-to-end as a contracted service: launch, retail development, marketing, finance and regulator reporting.
New concession holders or state operators that want a proven operator without building a large in-house organisation.
Management fee plus a performance incentive linked to sales and cost targets — our interests align with your outcomes.
A resident operating team on the ground — retail development, draw operations, customer service and regulator reporting.
Ownership of the company and licence — you can take operations in-house after an agreed period.
We build everything and hand you the keys: data-centre readiness, systems, terminals, retail interiors, training — a first-draw-ready operation delivered to your standards.
Governments and investors creating a lottery company from zero that want a fixed-scope, fixed-price outcome.
Fixed total price or milestone payments covering design, supply, installation and a defined operations-handover package.
Project management, procurement, local partner coordination and full commissioning against your standards.
Complete ownership of the delivered assets plus full knowledge transfer to your staff from day one.
