US players don’t behave like “global lottery players”
Designing for a generic international player is how you ship something nobody in the US loves.
Lottery Innovation Summit · October 3, 2026 · US lottery industry
Mobile habits. Trust. Retail. Responsible play expectations. State-by-state rules.
US players don’t behave like a blended “global lottery” average — because that average doesn’t buy a ticket in your jurisdiction.
Copy-paste global is how you lose local.
What cleared in another country can still fail your age gate, your retailer path, your claim flow, your App Store review, your players’ sense of trust. Tourism already knows each state is unique. Digital keeps pretending otherwise.
We’re focused on US lottery problems on purpose — not because the rest of the world doesn’t innovate, but because your players live here, under your rules.
What US-specific friction should be a 2028 challenge? Put it on a brief. Invite builders who can demo under those constraints — not under a case study from somewhere else.
Lottery Innovation Summit is that room: real US problems, built solutions, live demos.
Real problems. Built solutions.
Lottery Innovation Summit is a challenge summit for US lottery gaming — not a conference: problems in, working demos out — not decks. Join the announcement list for when details are finalized.
