VANCOUVER, BC, May 17, 2021 – Splashdot is excited to announce their collaboration with Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) to reimagine the corporation’s Sport Select digital experience for their retail offer. Currently in the final stages of development, the new website will provide a more intuitive user interface and powerful CMS tools that will enable mobile users to view the latest games and odds, make selections and build electronic slips anytime, anywhere.
“We are thrilled to partner with WCLC and update their Sport Select website,” said Patrick Watson, President & CEO of Splashdot. “It’s more important than ever for lottery jurisdictions like WCLC to offer highly engaging, convenient and rewarding lottery experiences that enable mobile users to connect with the retail games they play. Given Splashdot’s successful 15-year relationship with WCLC and our core focus on developing secure and bespoke digital experiences, I’m confident we will deliver on all the project’s requirements.”
WCLC’s Sport Select revamp will provide players with more options in placing wagers at retail and a wider range of sporting events to choose from. Splashdot’s expertise will be crucial in developing a website that provides up-to-date event information and a great user experience. Splashdot has also been tasked to develop a mobile-enabled ticket builder that allows players to make game selections from their phones. This ticket builder will allow users to generate a unique QR code on their mobile device based on the games they select. This mobile QR code can then be scanned at a retail lottery terminal to produce a physical ticket.
“We are very familiar with all the assets Splashdot brings to the table,” said Adam Cortiula, Marketing Director of Sports with WCLC. “A highly collaborative process, creative problem-solving, optimism, deep experience in Canadian lottery, plus their powerful nCentive platform that combines exceptional security with CMS flexibility. The synergies between our two organizations have, once again, been incredibly productive in developing a future-ready sports lottery digital solution.”
The new WCLC Sport Select platform is currently on track to launch in the fall of 2021.
