LottoStar’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Tasoulla Hadjigeorgiou, commented: “LottoStar was founded in 2014 as a family-run business with an innovative model to offer a fixed-odds betting online platform in South Africa. “As an online betting leader in South Africa, we are excited to partner with one of UK’s best bookmakers. We are confident that this partnership will broaden our offering and provide our customers with the highest quality services.
