Launch Your Lottery Platform in Senegal with Digient
White-label and turnkey lottery software for Senegalese operators and technology partners who need a scalable, fully featured platform built for LONASE's regulated market from day one.
A Complete Lottery Software Solution for the Senegalese Market
Senegal operates one of West Africa's most established lottery markets under the Loterie Nationale Sénégalaise (LONASE), the state entity that holds exclusive rights to lottery and sports betting under Senegal's gambling framework, most recently updated by Law No. 17/2025, effective November 2025. Land-based casinos are regulated separately by the Ministry of Finance and Budget, which requires a physical presence in Dakar. Senegal's payments landscape is anchored by Orange Money and Wave, the country's two dominant mobile money platforms, alongside Free Money and a fast-growing base of digitally active consumers. With a population of over 18 million and one of the region's highest mobile penetration rates, Senegal represents a significant opportunity for lottery technology providers able to operate within its regulated, monopoly-anchored structure. Digient is a specialist lottery technology company with over 18 years of experience delivering integrated lottery platforms to operators and technology partners across Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Whether you are a technology partner supporting LONASE's digital transformation, one of the small number of independently licensed betting operators, a Ministry of Finance and Budget licensed land-based casino operator adding digital tools, or an established African operator evaluating the Senegalese market, Digient provides the full technology stack: player-facing website and mobile apps, game content, payment integrations built around Orange Money and Wave, back-office controls, KYC compliance tools, responsible gaming controls, and real-time reporting. Every module is configurable to Senegal's regulatory and tax requirements, including the 20% withholding tax on gambling and lottery winnings introduced under the 2025 law.
Understanding the Senegalese Lottery Regulatory Landscape
Senegal's gambling framework dates back to 1965 and was substantially updated by Law No. 17/2025, effective November 2025. Under this state-monopoly model, the Loterie Nationale Sénégalaise (LONASE) holds exclusive rights to lottery and sports betting products, with only a small number of independently licensed betting operators active alongside it. Land-based casinos fall under separate Ministry of Finance and Budget oversight and must maintain a physical presence in Dakar; online casino gaming is not currently a licensed vertical in Senegal. A 20% withholding tax applies to all gambling and lottery winnings under the 2025 law, deducted at source by the operator before payout. Given this structure, most of Digient's Senegalese engagements are technology partnerships that support LONASE's platform, or software deployments for the limited set of independently licensed operators and Ministry-licensed casino businesses. Digient's platform is designed to be configured to Senegal's specific licensing, reporting, and tax requirements.
LONASE State Monopoly
The Loterie Nationale Sénégalaise (LONASE) holds exclusive state rights to lottery and sports betting under Senegal's gambling framework, updated by Law No. 17/2025. Digient's platform is designed to support LONASE and its technology partners with configurable game content, draw management, and reporting tools.
Independently Licensed Operators
A small number of betting operators hold independent licences alongside LONASE's monopoly. Digient supports these licensed operators with a full platform stack configured to their specific licence conditions and reporting obligations.
KYC, CNI, and Mobile Money Verification
Senegalese player identification using the biometric CNI (Carte Nationale d'Identité CEDEAO) and Senegalese passport supports country-specific identity verification. Mobile money account verification via Orange Money and Wave is widely used and an operationally accepted identity confirmation method for Senegalese lottery and betting players.
XOF and Senegalese Payment Integration
The platform supports the West African CFA franc (XOF) as the base currency. Orange Money, Wave, Free Money, Visa, Mastercard, and bank transfer integrations can be configured for player deposits and withdrawals, covering Senegal's mobile money-led digital payments landscape.
Withholding Tax and Reporting Controls
The platform automatically applies the 20% withholding tax on gambling and lottery winnings required under Law No. 17/2025, deducting it at source before payout. Comprehensive financial and game reporting with full transaction audit trails supports regulatory reporting submissions and technical audit requirements.
Responsible Gaming Controls
Operator-managed self-exclusion controls, deposit limits, session time controls, cooling-off periods, and reality checks are built into the platform as configurable tools, supporting responsible gaming best practice even where Senegal's current framework does not yet mandate them.
Note: Licensing structures, tax rules, and regulatory requirements in Senegal are subject to change and online licensing beyond LONASE's monopoly remains limited. Operators and technology partners should seek independent legal advice before entering the Senegalese market. Digient's team can provide platform documentation to support partnership discussions.
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 XOF.
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.
Winners Board
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
The Promotions page surfaces active campaigns with offer name, audience tag, validity, and a Claim Offer CTA. All campaigns are configured in the Operator Back Office with wagering controls and conversion caps compliant with Senegal's operator-configured bonus parameters.
White-Label or Turnkey Lottery Software for Senegal

Draw Results, Built for Trust and Transparency
The same Results screen your Senegalese players will use: per-game filter tabs, colour-matched winning number balls, and an approval-gated display so nothing goes live before your back office confirms it. This is a real screen from a running Digient platform, not a mockup.
