David Spears interviewed the CEO of LottoLand on Sky News. Click here for a report of the interview and a story about a looming ban for Lottoland in Tasmania.
Be sure to watch the video in the story. At 7:57, Luke Brill, Lottoland CEO says when talking about Tatts: they’re using the little newsagents as pawns in the game. Lottoland launched targeting newsagents, using newsagents as pawns in the game.
At 8:06, Brill says 15% of Tatts revenue comes from the online space.
Brill is right about this. I also think he is right when he says Tatts has no interest in protecting newsagents.
Sure, Lottoland is a menace and a competitor of newsagents. However, tatts is a much bigger competitor and it is growing faster than Lottoland.
100 percent correct !
tatts speak with fork tongue
they do not want to share on line sales with Newsagents because it is ‘so small’ yet want Newsagents to stop Lottoland.
nice level playing field!!!
This is exactly why we did not participate in the “Lottoland’s got to go” Campaign. All we were doing was wiping out Tatt’s online competition so they can continue moving that way freely.
They couldn’t care less about agents.
Many newsagents ts have criticised me for saying there is no upside in over the counter lottery sales, which is okay. I don’t want to be, but time will show I was right. This is another reason I am so against the Tatts demanded capex on cutouts and their new digital marketing, which pro motes online.
