Re-investing to widen our impact
Novamedia receives a licence fee for the use of its IP, including brands and formats.
Novamedia then re-invests to market the lotteries in new countries, there constantly expanding the benfits of charity lotteries for civil society. Experiences with Sweden and Great Britain have shown that investments of tens of millions of euros are needed to set up a successful Postcode Lottery. The total investments were €28 million in Sweden and €61 million in Great Britain.
In 2018, a licence for a Postcode Lottery was granted in Norway. At least 50% of the proceeds go to SOS Children’s Villages and WWF, after deducting prizes. The licence is granted for nine years with a limit of 125,000 subscriptions.
In Germany at the end of 2015, a permit was granted to the non-profit organisation Deutsche Postcode Lotterie, which was established by Novamedia. The German lottery can only raise funds in accordance with strict conditions. A minimum of 30% of the funds raised are earmarked for charities, and there is a high lottery tax level of 17% on the revenue.
Postcode Lottery format
If you would like to know more about setting up a Postcode Lottery and the Postcode Lottery format, please contact Judith Lingeman, Director of International Affairs.
