Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (SEGG) announced that its board of directors has approved transitioning Lottery.com to an exclusively affiliate-based business model as the company is reshaping its global strategy.
SEGG to Shift Its Focus to the Global Market with New Model
SEGG said Lottery.com will be repositioned as its Master Global Affiliate Platform, shifting its focus from acting as a lottery courier to connecting consumers with licensed lottery operators through an affiliate model. According to the company, Lottery.com occupies a rare position in the digital lottery space thanks to its domain name. The word “lottery” itself is easily recognizable in many languages, meaning that one address could represent licensed lottery operators globally.
SEGG’s strategy will initially target North and Latin America, with new affiliate partnerships expected to be announced in the coming months. The rollout aligns with SEGG’s previously announced 90-day plan, which prioritizes investment in international gaming operations, starting with Mexico.
According to SEGG, the Board approved the strategy following a review of long-term opportunities in the global lottery market, which it estimates to be worth almost $400 billion annually. The company believes an affiliate-led approach provides a more scalable platform for international expansion.
SEGG Media chairman Marc Bircham described the move as a highly strategic step, saying it would establish Lottery.com as the company’s global platform and make the brand accessible across regulated markets worldwide. He said the model would provide the flexibility to enter selected markets directly as an operator where opportunities align with its long-term strategy by leveraging the global recognition of the Lottery.com brand.
The Reshuffling Comes at a Crucial Time
SEGG’s new strategy positions it to capitalize on the fast-growing lottery industry, which was valued at an estimated $374 billion in 2025. It’s forecast that the industry would reach $396.1 billion in 2026 before expanding to $596.5 billion by 2033. Meanwhile, the online lottery segment, the area most directly targeted by Lottery.com’s newly announced affiliate strategy, is expected to grow from $13.22 billion in 2026 to $19.65 billion by 2031.
Affiliate marketing has also become a key customer acquisition channel for regulated lottery and iGaming operators as the global affiliate marketing sector generated an estimated $19.6 billion in 2025. It is projected to increase to $24.7 billion in 2026, representing 26% year-on-year growth. Within the industry, iGaming, which includes regulated lottery affiliate activity, is the second-largest vertical by affiliate spending. It accounts for an estimated $4.3 billion annually across more than 5,400 active affiliate programs worldwide, with Europe representing 61% of total spending in the sector, showing why SEGG wants to further expand outside its traditional US-focused field.
