Exportschlager „El Gordo“

By German News

Warum Deutsche so gerne auf die spanische Weihnachtslotterie tippen

Die spanische Weihnachtslotterie „El Gordo“ ist die größte Lotterie der Welt: An nur einem Tag werden Gewinne in Höhe von 2,3 Milliarden Euro ausgeschüttet. „Für viele Spanier gehört der Loskauf zur Vorweihnachtszeit wie für uns der Besuch des Weihnachtsmarktes“, sagt Dr. Rolf Stypmann, Unternehmenssprecher von Lottoland. Aber auch außerhalb Spaniens begeistern sich immer mehr Lottospieler für die über 200 Jahre alte Traditionslotterie. Lottoland rechnet in diesem Jahr mit über 100.000 deutschen Teilnehmern.

Doch was macht „El Gordo“ so attraktiv für Deutsche?

 Gewinnwahrscheinlichkeit höher als bei jeder deutschen Lotterie

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit für den Hauptgewinn ist 1.300-mal höher als beim Lotto 6aus49. Es gibt 100.000 fünfstellige Losnummern, von denen 16.666 gewinnen – das entspricht jedem sechsten Los. Bei keiner in Deutschland angebotenen Lotterie ist die Gewinnchance so hoch.

Für jede dieser fünfstelligen Losnummern werden 165 Lose ausgegeben. Teilnehmer können entweder ein ganzes Los kaufen oder einen bzw. mehrere Zehntel davon. Der Hauptpreis für den Tipp auf die fünf richtigen Ziffern beträgt vier Millionen Euro. Da diese Losnummer 165-mal existiert, werden in der ersten Gewinnklasse 660 Millionen Euro ausgespielt. Auf die richtige fünfstellige Losnummer tippte im vergangenen Jahr auch ein Lottoland-Spieler aus Wolfsburg und gewann vier Millionen Euro. „Damit ist er einer der wenigen, wenn nicht sogar der erste in Deutschland, der den Hauptpreis von El Gordo abgeräumt hat. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn es in diesem Jahr weitere Hauptgewinner aus Deutschland gibt“, so Stypmann.

Gewinne sind steuerfrei

In Spanien wird seit 2013 eine Steuer in Höhe von 20 Prozent auf alle Lotteriegewinne von mehr als 2.500 Euro erhoben. Die Steuer wird direkt bei der Auszahlung von der Lotteriegesellschaft einbehalten. Anders in Deutschland: Laut deutschem Einkommenssteuerrecht sind Gewinne aus sämtlichen Glücksspielarten steuerfrei, weil sie in keine der sieben Einkunftsarten fallen. Wer also seinen Tipp auf „El Gordo“ auf Lottoland.com abgibt, muss von seinem Gewinn keinen Cent an den Fiskus abtreten.

„El Gordo“ steht für Tradition und Gemeinschaft

Die Lotterie ist ein fester Bestandteil der vorweihnachtlichen Tradition in Spanien. Schätzungen zufolge nehmen 98 Prozent der Spanier teil. Das Besondere an der Lotterie ist, dass Familien, Vereine und Dörfer gemeinsam tippen und gewinnen können, indem sie dieselbe Losnummer kaufen.

Auch der Wolfsburger Glückspilz, der 2015 bei Lottoland vier Millionen gewann, spielte gemeinsam mit Freunden: „Wir waren zu fünft, zwei Pärchen und ein Single. Jeder durfte sich eine Zahl aussuchen. So entstand unsere Gewinnzahl 79140.“

Auf Lottoland.com können deutsche Spieler ihren „El Gordo“-Tipp bis zum 22. Dezember um 8:00 Uhr morgens abgeben. Eine Teilnahme über staatliche Anbieter ist nicht möglich.

Über El Gordo

El Gordo wird jedes Jahr am 22. Dezember ausgespielt und ist ein fester Bestandteil der vorweihnachtlichen Tradition in Spanien. Schätzungen zufolge nehmen 98 Prozent der Spanier an der Weihnachtslotterie teil. Das Besondere an der Lotterie ist, dass Familien, Vereine und Dörfer gemeinsam tippen können, indem alle dieselbe Losnummer kaufen. Dass ein Spieler ein ganzes Los kauft, ist dabei eher die Ausnahme. Am häufigsten kaufen Spanier ein Zehntellos, die bei Lottoland für 34,99 Euro erhältlich sind.

Viele Spanier treffen sich zu Hause, in Restaurants oder an öffentlichen Plätzen, um die Verlosung gemeinsam zu verfolgen. Die Einschaltquoten für die Fernsehübertragung erreichen rund 50 Prozent. „El Gordo“ oder „der Dicke“, wie die Lotterie umgangssprachlich genannt wird, ist auch ein Wirtschaftsfaktor in Spanien: Die Pro-Kopf-Ausgaben beliefen sich 2015 auf 62 Euro.

Lottoland make their mark at NOAH 2016

Having already established themselves as one of Europe’s fastest growing companies, online lottery betting leaders Lottoland are now making their mark in the tech investor scene.

From just a handful of employees in May 2013, the Gibraltar based business now has over 230 staff and is predicting revenues that will beat the £100m achieved in 2015 by more than 150%.

2016 has proved to be a landmark year for the company, with the launch of new markets in Australia and the Republic of Ireland, a raft of new product launches and sustained marketing campaigns, both above and below the line, in territories including the UK, Germany and Sweden accelerating growth to unprecedented levels. Australia, in particular, proved to be a staggering success, with 250,000 new customers joining just 48 hours after launch.

Such impressive growth has seen the investor community sit up and take notice, with Lottoland now being a highly sought-after attendee at the world’s leading start up and tech conferences.

Having already taken centre stage at the renowned Bits & Pretzels Founders Festival in Munich and November’s prestigious JP Morgan European Growth Stars Internet Media and Tech Conference, Lottoland were at it again last Friday (November 11th) with CEO Nigel Birrell and Chief Strategy Officer Elicia Bravo grabbing the limelight at London’s NOAH Conference.

According to Bravo, Lottoland’s star turn at Noah – Europe’s preeminent event bringing together internet CEO’s, investors and leading execs in search of the latest proven concepts – highlights the excitement that is building around the company.

“We are actively disrupting a $300 billion dollar industry and it’s great to see that there is real excitement growing in the investor community in regard to our offering.

“In less than 3 months we have presented at 3 different, exclusive events, to hundreds of investors and start-ups. Our message has been simple and the response has been very positive.

“Both the tech and investor community are very excited by what Lottoland has to offer and our growth to date.

“We have a proven model for success that has driven our business forward to the point that in just over 3 years we’re rubbing shoulders with Europe’s leading start-ups.

“It’s an honour for us to be part of such a select clique, but as far as we are concerned it’s just the beginning. We’ve got a talented, creative and ingenious team that have brought us this far and I’m very excited to see where the next few years will take us.”

„Lottoland-Stiftung“ in Hamburg gegründet

By German Press Releases

Auf Initiative des privaten Online-Lottoanbieters Lottoland wurde die “Lottoland-Stiftung” gegründet. Sie unterstützt gemeinnützige Projekte und Einrichtungen in den Bereichen Sport- und Behindertenförderung. Zu Beginn wurden bereits zwei gemeinnützige Projekte ausgewählt und gefördert, die finanzielle Unterstützung benötigen. Geschäftsführer der “Lottoland Stiftung gGmbH” mit Sitz in Hamburg ist Lottoland-Unternehmenssprecher Dr. Rolf Stypmann.

Projektauswahl und -förderung

“Lotterien bringen Menschen zum Träumen. Und wir wollen den Menschen Träume erfüllen, die es nicht so einfach im Leben haben”, sagt Dr. Rolf Stypmann, Geschäftsführer der Lottoland Stiftung. “Außerdem wollen wir Menschen über den Sport verbinden und zusammenbringen. Als digitales Start-up werden wir dabei auch ungewöhnliche Wege einschlagen.”

So unterstützt die Lottoland Stiftung das Sportangebot der Lebenshilfe Wiesloch e.V. als eines von zwei Projekten. Der Verein wurde 1963 gegründet und fördert Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung sowie schwerst mehrfachbehinderte Menschen aller Altersstufen. In unterschiedlichen Sportgruppen begegnen sich Menschen mit und ohne Handicap. Als zweites Projekt wurde die Inklusionsmannschaft des TSG Wiesloch ausgewählt. Hier trainieren aktive Handballer jeden Samstag Kinder und Erwachsene mit Behinderung. Der Verein ermöglicht ihnen außerdem Spiele gegen andere Inklusionsmannschaften sowie den Besuch von Bundesligaspielen ihrer Lieblingsmannschaft, den Rhein-Neckar-Löwen.

Gefördert werden regionale und überregionale Projekte gemeinnütziger Organisationen, Einrichtungen oder Initiativen. Darüber hinaus werden Einzelpersonen unterstützt, wenn sie zum Beispiel eine Vorbildfunktion im Behindertensport einnehmen. Dabei sollte der Förderumfang einen essentiellen Beitrag zum Projekt beitragen. Wenn Projekte diesen Förderkriterien entsprechen, können Bewerber ganz unbürokratisch einen Online-Antrag auf der Webseite der Lottoland Stiftung ausfüllen und diesen per E-Mail einreichen. Eine unabhängige Jury wählt die Projekte aus, die mit bis zu 10.000 Euro unterstützt werden. Die Webseite lottolandstiftung.de ist bereits online.

Mit Kooperationspartnern gemeinsam mehr Freude stiften

Hauptförderer der Lottoland-Stiftung ist die Lottoland-Gruppe. An der Förderung können sich aber auch Kooperationspartner wie Stiftungen, Unternehmen oder Vereine beteiligen. Diese können so regionale Projekte unterstützten ohne dass sie eigene Strukturen aufbauen oder Verwaltungskosten finanzieren müssen.

So können diese mit relativ geringem Aufwand eine große Wirkung erzielen. “Mehr noch als die finanzielle Unterstützung steht der Gemeinschaftsgedanke der Lottoland-Stiftung im Vordergrund. Es geht also weniger darum, wie viel ein Partner gibt, sondern eher darum, dass man sich gemeinsam für die Wünsche anderer stark macht”, sagt Dr. Rolf Stypmann.

 

SURVEY SAYS NEARLY 40% WILL STOP BUYING TICKETS FOR EUROMILLIONS DUE TO PRICE RISE

By Press Releases
  • Two thirds (66 per cent) of British public admitted they’ll play the EuroMillions less or stop playing completely following Camelot’s price increase to £2.50
  • Almost half of Brits in the North East said they’ll stop playing the EuroMillions completely
  • Online lottery betting site co.uk sees over 750 per cent sales increase following decision to freeze EuroMillions price at £2
  •  Following Camelot’s EuroMillions price from £2 to £2.50, Brits have been left disgruntled, with many turning their back on the lottery company and shopping around for alternatives.

    Research by Lottoland.co.uk, an online lottery-betting provider that allows Brits to bet on and win the same jackpots of 25 lotteries around the world, has highlighted a 40 per cent decrease in Brits playing with Camelot following the price increase last Tuesday. Furthermore, one in three Brits say they will stop playing with Camelot altogether.

    People from Newcastle were most affected by the price increase with over half (57 per cent) moving away from Camelot in search for cheaper alternatives. A similar percentage (58 per cent) of people throughout the UK did not play either Tuesday or Friday’s draw following the new cost introduction.

    Previous ticket price increases by Camelot have also been met negatively – the increase in price of Lotto tickets from £1 to £2 in 2013 saw average sales volumes drop by over 40 per cent1.

    Lottoland.co.uk’s ability to offer Brits the chance to still win the EuroMillions jackpot for 50p less – and save over £100 a year2 – is a result of the brand’s regulated betting model, meaning it can create its own prices and innovative features for already established lotteries. The decision has seen a 765 per cent sales increase, showing Brits are more savvy to lottery spending than ever before.

    Lottoland.co.uk CEO, Nigel Birrell, on the price freeze, said: “To see a 765 per cent increase in our sales last week is staggering. This shows that price conscious consumers are not happy with the price increase and have begun to look at alternative options to save money whilst still having the ability to win the same jackpot.

    “We’re delighted with the figures. Camelot are a Goliath organisation and we’re very much David in comparison.

    “Since day one it’s been our mission to provide more choice and better value for our customers; freezing our EuroMillions prices at £2 is a perfect way of extending customer choice and providing more value.”

    Lottoland.co.uk launched in the UK in September 2015 and has already amassed over half a million customers to add to its four million worldwide. As well as EuroMillions, there are 24 other unique lotteries available to bet on including America’s PowerBall and MegaMillions draws, Spain’s world famous Christmas lottery El Gordo and a host of other draws from across Australia and Europe.

    The EuroMillions draw, which takes place every Tuesday and Friday, will be a guaranteed £121m on Tuesday 4th October. In addition to this new customers at Lottoland will be able to take advantage of a completely free bet on the draw when they sign up.

    With Lottoland.co.uk, users bet on the outcome of the lottery rather than ‘play’ but they still stand to win the same jackpot value if their numbers match. Lottery betting is unique in the way users make a bet on official lotteries draws, specifically which numbers will be drawn, rather than buying a ticket through an official lottery operator.

    With a number of big jackpot wins already recorded across Europe – including $2m USD on the world-record US PowerBall and €4m on Spain’s Christmas El Gordo lottery – expectation of a big UK win with Lottoland is rising.

  • co.uk offering new customers free bet on Friday’s £109m* EuroMillions jackpot

Why pay more to win big? Online lottery betting provider Lottoland.co.uk has announced it will freeze its EuroMillions price at £2 following Camelot’s decision to increase its price to £2.50.

Previous ticket price increases by Camelot have been met negatively – the increase in price of Lotto tickets from £1 to £2 in 2013 saw average sales volumes drop by over 40 per cent*** – and Lottoland.co.uk is expecting a similar reaction to the EuroMillions increase this week.

This data is further compounded by recent research by Lottoland.co.uk indicating that almost three quarters of Brits (71 per cent) would shop around for alternatives if an item they regularly purchase increased in cost by 25 per cent. The research also went on to highlight that a further one in eight people (13 per cent) would stop buying the item all together.

Lottoland.co.uk CEO, Nigel Birrell, on the price freeze, said: “Now that the price of EuroMillions has gone up, we’re here to let price conscious players know there is an alternative. They can bet on the draw with us and save 50p on what they would pay elsewhere.

 

“Since day one it’s been our mission to provide more choice and better value for our customers; freezing our EuroMillions prices at £2 is a perfect way of extending customer choice and providing more value. We’ve got 25 of the world’s biggest jackpots, so in addition to EuroMillions, our players can bet on giants such as America’s Powerball – which hit a world record £1.1 billion in January.

“We’re even offering new customers the chance to win Friday’s £109m EuroMillions draw for free so come and give us a go!”
