Industry Environmental Technology
The Kenyan lottery market mainly used physical ticket sales and manual processes, creating inefficiencies and limiting reach to urban areas.
Many potential players hesitated to participate because they worried about fairness in draws, winner selection, and prize distribution.
Mobile money was widely used in Kenya through M-Pesa, but lottery systems were slow to include these popular payment methods, making it harder for customers to participate.
Meeting Kenya's Gaming Bill requirements created complex challenges for lottery operators trying to establish an online presence.
Many existing platforms weren't designed for smartphones, which is how most Kenyans access the internet.
There needed to be a balance about the excitement of lottery games and following responsible gaming practices appropriate for Kenyan culture.
Security concerns discouraged both operators and players, with cybersecurity threats and fraud risks making people hesitant about online lottery transactions.
Poor internet connections in some regions demanded creative solutions to ensure performance consistency across different network conditions.
Operators lacked good tools to understand player behavior, market trends, and ways to improve their services.
Competition from informal betting channels and international platforms created a divided market, highlighting the need for locally-relevant experiences for Kenyan players.
