I was fortunate to meet with Dr Katakis, the CEO of Intralot yesterday. While not the purpose of the meeting, we did talk about the threat made by Tattersalls to turn off access to their product in my business. He provided some contact details within Government agencies which should help resolve the matter.
Tattersalls would be well advised to accept that they have lost their monoopoly and that it would be in the best interests of their products and brand to put their big stock away and focus on developing their business in partnership with the retail channel rather than the current approach of legal threats of swift economic penalty if you do not follow their every demand without question.
I want to grow the sale of lottery products regardless of the brand. Intralot products will appeal to one demographic of player and Tattersalls to another. I want the full suite of products to succeed. Physically separating them as Tattersalls demands makes this goal a challenge to achieve.
Hi Mark,
I would be interested to hear how you plan to place intralot within your designated tattersall’s area.
Are you using the Tattersall’s scratchie area for Intralot? Are you using Tattersall’s counter space for intralot?
We are currently considering how to do this ourselves.
Scott we have it located in space between our two Tattersalls areas – which was dead space. Tattersalls are pursuing us over this though.
