Advertising permit extended

(Hamburg, 20 January 2015) Lotto24 AG received the extension of its advertising permit on 20 January 2015. The company is thus authorised for a further two years – until 12 March 2017 – to advertise throughout Germany, both via the Internet and TV, for the online marketing of state-run lotteries. As a result, the company can continue to drive the expansion of its customer base. The restrictions contained in the permit – including those regarding e-mail promotion, discounts and advertising in social networks – continue to apply. Lotto24 does not expect these restrictions to significantly hinder its business activities and assumes that they will apply equally to its direct competitors. The renewal of the advertising permit and continuing legal certainty form the basis for the company’s planned expansion of business and market share.
