Data & Tech

A scale-up within an established organisation

Which game of chance a person plays, on which platform, and how much they win: we make it transparent. At Nederlandse Loterij, we process large volumes, in terms of numbers of users, transactions and the amount of data. Using the latest technologies, our Data & Tech teams form the technical backbone of the organisation.

Why we do this

In everything we do, data and technology are part of it – both inside and outside the organisation. From developing easy-to-use websites, apps and gaming platforms to collecting and analysing data: technology is always central. Creating a good digital workplace also helps our colleagues focus on what they do best.

The lotteries market is changing rapidly. Our teams use technology and data to ensure that playing stays safe and responsible, in line with the law and with the latest techniques. We apply new technologies quickly and use real-time data to monitor whether playing remains fun and, above all, responsible for every player. This way, our teams – working at Champions League-level – make sure that technology truly makes a difference.

Who we do this with

We are a team of 117 colleagues. Professionals who get freedom, responsibility, and trust. Because that’s exactly what you need to succeed in the complex and modern Data & Tech landscape in which we work.

With a team of 25 specialists, we work on Nederlandse Loterij’s data-driven ambitions.

Every day, we process huge amounts of data, sometimes more than 100,000 messages per minute. We use this data for reporting, analytics, fraud detection, responsible gaming, personalization, and compliance.

Using technologies like Azure, IBM, Databricks, DBT, Event Sourcing, Streaming, Terraform, and GraphQL to make data from various systems usable in real time. We also make sure all data follows laws and rules. This helps the organization to make fast and responsible decisions.

The IT department is an important link between the internal stakeholders and the external suppliers of our lottery and gambling systems. We provide Service & Support to all internal and external employees. The department consists of the teams: Support, Workplace Automation, Operations, and Security, with around 20 colleagues.

“We are constantly trying out innovative technologies and learning both trough training and from each other. There is a huge amount of knowledge going around in our department. ”
