Jumbo Interactive Limited is an Australian corporation which sells government-licensed lottery games on behalf of lottery operators, primarily in Australia and Germany. Jumbo Interactive operates ozlotteries.com, one of Australia's largest e-commerce websites retailing Australian lotteries, such as Saturday Lotto, Oz Lotto and Powerball. Jumbo Interactive is a publicly listed corporation on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:JIN). ==History== Jumbo Interactive was founded by Mike Veverka in 1995 as a software developer and an Internet Service Provider in Queensland, Australia. In 1999, the Company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange as Jumbomall.com, a concept to provide e-commerce services to merchants around the globe wishing to sell products via the internet. Focus shifted towards Internet lotteries when the Interactive Gambling Act was passed by the Australian Parliament in 2001. Starting with smaller state-based charity lotteries, the Company shifted to national lottery games with the acquisition of TMS Global Services in 2005. This business operated a lottery network since 1984 in various Pacific nations in agreement with Tattersalls. Focus shifted towards the Internet and to the development of Oz Lotteries website 〔https://www.ozlotteries.com〕 which continues to this day, having serviced in excess of 1.5 million customers. Jumbo Interactive has agreements with 3 state lotteries; New South Wales and Victoria (operated by the Tatts Group) and South Australia (operated by SA Lotteries). In March 2013, Jumbo Interactive announced its expansion into Germany with the signing of a licence to sell official German lottery games via the web and mobile in the state of Schleswig Holstein. During this period, Jumbo opened its first international office in Munich. The website 〔https://www.jumbolotto.de〕 was launched in December 2013, and in July 2014 Jumbo Interactive GmbH had successfully expanded licensing and sales to all 16 states of Germany. 〔http://www.jumbointeractive.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/german_licence_2013.pdf〕 Jumbo Interactive is a member of APLA (Asia Pacific Lottery Association), WLA (World Lottery Association) and NASPL (North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries). Jumbo Interactive plays an important role in the Australian and German lottery industries helping to raise money for government social initiatives such as education and health. Over $22 million of additional government duties were raised in FY2012, up from $17 million in FY 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jumbo Interactive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
