Lotteries must evaluate the performance and experience of technology partner thoroughly before partnering with them, especially their experience with the kind of market the lottery is into. The success of a lottery significantly depends upon how well the technology partner understands the intricacies of local lottery culture and player psychology. Especially, if you are a startup lottery you must ensure that the technology provider is capable of guiding you with proper planning and pre-implementation strategies before even you delve further into this. It is extremely critical for a startup lottery to get to “the state of readiness” before even launching the lottery and rolling out the technology.
