Company profile
Regulated lotteries, proprietary formats and digital games
ZEAL Network is a regulated digital-lottery and games group centred on Germany. LOTTO24 and Tipp24 broker participation in state lotteries; proprietary charity lotteries put homes, cars or long-duration income at the centre of distinct products; ZEAL Instant Games creates slots, scratchcards and instant-win titles. A cloud platform connects acquisition, payments, participation, service and compliance, while a separate venture arm backs prize-led gaming businesses.
State-lottery brokerage
LOTTO24 and Tipp24 connect customers to licensed draws
ZEAL's LOTTO24 subsidiary acts for customers and transmits their entries to the relevant lottery operators. It earns brokerage commissions without assuming organiser risk for German state-lottery products. The catalogue spans LOTTO 6aus49, Eurojackpot, Spiel 77, Super 6, GlücksSpirale, Keno, lottery clubs, instant lotteries and Deutsche Fernsehlotterie.

Proprietary formats
Charity lotteries diversify the offer beyond jackpot cycles
freiheit+ supports education projects, while Dream House Raffle turns a named property into the headline prize. Dream Car Raffle joined the portfolio in 2026: wholly owned Dreamify operates the product, Lotto24 handles marketing and sales, and at least 20% of each ticket price goes to charitable organisations. These formats sit beside, rather than replace, state-lottery brokerage.
