Launch Your Lottery Platform in Czech Republic with Digient
White-label and turnkey lottery software built for Czech operators who need a Ministry of Finance-compliant, scalable, and fully featured platform from day one.
A Complete Lottery Software Solution for the Czech Market
Czechia has one of Central Europe's most mature and well-regulated gaming and lottery markets. The Czech Republic's lottery sector is governed by the Ministry of Finance (Ministerstvo financi) under Act No. 186/2016 Coll. on Games of Chance, which came into full effect in 2017 and introduced a comprehensive online gaming licensing framework. The Czech Lottery (Ceska loterie) and SAZKA Group operate as the dominant national lottery organisations, with SAZKA running the official state lottery portfolio including Sportka, Eurojackpot, Jokerka, Keno, and scratch cards. Czechia's digital payments landscape is anchored by card payments, domestic bank transfers, and PayU Czech Republic, with a highly digitally engaged population of over 10 million. Digient is a specialist lottery technology company with over 18 years of experience delivering integrated lottery platforms to operators across Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Whether you are a new entrant seeking a Ministry of Finance online lottery licence, a technology partner supporting SAZKA's digital expansion, or an established European operator entering Czechia's competitive market, Digient provides the full technology stack: player-facing website and mobile apps, game content, payment integrations suited to the Czech payment landscape, back-office controls, KYC compliance tools, and real-time reporting. Every module is configurable to meet Czech Ministry of Finance technical and operational requirements.
Understanding Czechia's Lottery Regulatory Landscape
Czechia's lottery and gaming market is regulated by the Ministry of Finance (Ministerstvo financi) under Act No. 186/2016 Coll. on Games of Chance, which replaced the previous lottery law and introduced a modern, comprehensive licensing framework for both land-based and online games of chance. Online lottery licences are issued for a five-year period. SAZKA Group operates as the dominant national lottery operator in the Czech Republic, running Sportka, Eurojackpot, Jokerka, Keno, Bingo, and scratch card products. The Financial Analytical Office (FAU) oversees AML compliance. The Czech Gaming Authority (Urad pro hazardni hry) also plays a role in technical certification and oversight. Digient's platform is designed to be configured to Czech Ministry of Finance technical and operational requirements.
Ministry of Finance Lottery Licensing
The Ministry of Finance issues online lottery licences under Act No. 186/2016 Coll. for a five-year renewable period. Operators must meet technical system certification requirements, responsible gaming standards, and AML obligations. Digient's platform supports the technical documentation and certification requirements for Czech lottery licence applications.
SAZKA and Private Operator Framework
SAZKA Group operates as Czechia's dominant state-affiliated lottery operator. The 2016 Act created a parallel licensed private operator segment for online games of chance. Digient's platform is configurable for both SAZKA technology partnerships and private Ministry of Finance-licensed operator deployments across the Czech market.
KYC and Rodne Cislo Verification
Czech citizen identification using the Rodne cislo (birth number), Obcansky prukaz (national ID card), and passport supports Czechia-specific player identity verification. Bank account verification and card ownership checks further support compliant player onboarding under Czech AML and FAU anti-money laundering requirements.
Czech Koruna and Payment Integration
The platform supports Czech Koruna (CZK) as the base currency. Visa, Mastercard, Ceska sporitelna, CSOB, Komercni banka, Raiffeisen Czech Republic, PayU Czech Republic, and bank transfer integrations can be configured for player deposits and withdrawals across Czechia's card-dominant payments landscape.
Reporting and Audit Controls
Comprehensive financial and game reporting with full transaction audit trails supports Ministry of Finance regulatory reporting submissions and Czech Gaming Authority technical audit requirements, alongside Financni sprava (Financial Administration) gaming tax obligations under Czech law.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Deposit limits, session time controls, self-exclusion via the national exclusion register, cooling-off periods, and reality check notifications are built into the platform to support responsible gaming obligations required under Act No. 186/2016 Coll. and Czech Gaming Authority player protection guidelines.
Note: Licensing timelines, fees, and regulatory requirements in the Czech Republic are subject to change. Operators should seek independent legal advice before applying for a gaming licence in Czechia. Digient's team can provide platform documentation to support your application.
A Live Digient-Powered Lottery Platform
Every screen below is from a running Digient lottery platform. Game lobby, ticket purchase, number selection, draw results, winners, and promotions.
Game Lobby
Players land on a colour-coded game lobby with live jackpot values, real-time draw countdowns, and last winning numbers per game. Every game card is operator-configured from the back office.
Ticket Purchase and Play Slip
Players build lines on the Play Slip manually or via Lucky Pick. The multi-draw selector enters up to 5 weeks of draws in one purchase. Order Summary updates in real time with total cost in CZK.
Number Selection Interface
Tapping Choose Numbers opens a clean numbered grid. Lucky Pick fills remaining numbers in one tap. Confirm Selection is disabled until the required count is met. Game rules are enforced at the UI level before the ticket reaches the cart.
Draw Results
The Results page shows draw outcomes across all games. Each card shows the game badge, draw date and time, jackpot, and winning numbers as colour-matched balls. Results only appear after operator approval.

The Winners page displays recent prize winners with name, country, game badge, draw date, prize amount, and winning numbers. Updated automatically after each draw settlement. A high-converting social proof element.
Promotions and Bonus Engine
