Launch Your Lottery Platform in Zimbabwe with Digient
White-label and turnkey lottery software built for Zimbabwean operators who need an LGB-configurable, scalable, and fully featured platform from day one.
A Complete Lottery Software Solution for the Zimbabwean Market
Zimbabwe's lottery and gaming sector is regulated by the Lotteries and Gaming Board (LGB) under the Lotteries and Gaming Act [Chapter 10:26], with betting and totalizator activities additionally governed by the Betting and Totalizator Control Act. The LGB licenses lottery, betting, casino, and gaming activities, while online gambling currently sits in a regulatory gap not yet fully addressed by statute, meaning new digital entrants should confirm their specific positioning with the LGB and independent legal counsel. Zimbabwe operates a dual-currency system, with the US Dollar widely used alongside the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), the local currency introduced in April 2024, and payments increasingly routed through EcoCash, OneMoney, and InnBucks, Zimbabwe's leading mobile money platforms. With strong mobile penetration and a fast-digitising consumer base across Harare, Bulawayo, and beyond, Zimbabwe represents a meaningful opportunity for lottery technology providers able to navigate its currency and regulatory landscape. 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 licensed lottery or betting operator working with the Lotteries and Gaming Board, a technology partner supporting an existing Zimbabwean gaming business, or an established African operator evaluating entry into Zimbabwe, Digient provides the full technology stack: player-facing website and mobile apps, game content, payment integrations built around EcoCash, OneMoney, and dual-currency (USD/ZiG) pricing, back-office controls, KYC compliance tools, responsible gaming controls, and real-time reporting. Every module is configurable to Zimbabwe's licensing, currency, and reporting requirements.
Understanding the Zimbabwean Lottery Regulatory Landscape
Zimbabwe's lottery and gaming sector is regulated by the Lotteries and Gaming Board (LGB) under the Lotteries and Gaming Act [Chapter 10:26], which sets out licensing processes, criteria, submission requirements, licensing conditions, and ongoing compliance obligations for lottery, betting, casino, and arcade activities. Betting and totalizator operations are additionally governed by the Betting and Totalizator Control Act. Online gambling remains a gap in Zimbabwe's current statutory framework, so operators launching a digital lottery or betting product should confirm their licensing position directly with the LGB and take independent legal advice before going live. Digient's platform is designed to be configured to Zimbabwe's licensing, currency, and reporting requirements as they apply to your specific operating model.
Zimbabwe Lottery Licensing
Lottery and gaming operators in Zimbabwe require a licence from the Lotteries and Gaming Board (LGB) under the Lotteries and Gaming Act [Chapter 10:26]. Betting and totalizator operations are additionally governed by the Betting and Totalizator Control Act. Digient's platform supports the technical documentation required for Zimbabwean lottery licence applications.
Online Gambling Positioning
Online gambling is not yet comprehensively addressed under Zimbabwe's current statutory framework. Digient's platform is built to be configured to whichever licensing route your legal counsel and the LGB confirm applies to your specific lottery, betting, or gaming product.
KYC, National ID, and Mobile Money Verification
Zimbabwean player identification using the National ID and Zimbabwean passport supports country-specific player identity verification. Mobile money account verification via EcoCash and OneMoney is widely used and an operationally accepted identity confirmation method for Zimbabwean lottery and betting players.
Dual-Currency (USD/ZiG) Payment Integration
The platform supports dual-currency pricing and settlement in both the US Dollar and the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG). EcoCash, OneMoney, InnBucks, Visa, Mastercard, and bank transfer integrations can be configured for player deposits and withdrawals, covering Zimbabwe's mobile money-led digital payments landscape.
LGB Reporting and Audit Controls
Comprehensive financial and game reporting with full transaction audit trails supports LGB regulatory reporting submissions, licence renewal documentation, and technical audit requirements. Monthly player activity reports, deposit limit monitoring, and real-time AML transaction screening are included as standard.
Responsible Gaming Controls
Operator-managed self-exclusion controls, deposit limits, session time controls, cooling-off periods, reality checks, and addiction risk monitoring are built into the platform as configurable tools, supporting responsible gaming best practice for Zimbabwean operators and their players.
Note: Licensing timelines, fees, currency rules, and regulatory requirements in Zimbabwe are subject to change, and online gambling remains a developing area of the country's statutory framework. Operators should seek independent legal advice before applying for a gaming licence or launching a digital product. 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 shown in your configured currency.
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 Zimbabwe's operator-configured bonus parameters.
