Best year in the history of Totalizator Sportowy! In 2019 Total revenues with subsidies amounted to almost PLN 11 billion!

Last year was the best in the history of Totalizator Sportowy in terms of sales over 64 years. Turnover in all areas of the company's operations, including subsidies, amounted to as much as PLN 10,933,859 511.34! In 2018, it was PLN 6 119 680 876.42. So we can talk about absolutely record, jumping growth. We owe him, among others the growing interest in the only legal online casino in Poland, the growing number of gaming arcades owned by Totalizator Sportowy, as well as a significant increase in sales in the terrestrial network and online products of the LOTTO brand.

Total sales of all areas of business (number games, lotteries, online casino and gaming salons, TWK revenues, other services) last year amounted to 9 892 836 190.34 zł (5 092 586 200.42 zł in 2018 year and 4 652 590 387.10 zł in 2017 years), and the fee added to the price rates of number games and lotteries as many as 1 101 023 321,00 zł ( 2018 years - 1 027 094 679,00 zł, and in 2017 - 985 PLN 534 422.00).

Here are the exact amounts of subsidies that went to the accounts of individual funds

Regardless of the subsidies for number games and cash lotteries, the company also transferred a record PLN 1 082 373 529.00 for tax on games (in 2018 it was PLN 919 946 741.00, and in  2017 - PLN 870 031 914.00), including thus exceeding the historical ceiling of PLN 1 billion.

Totalizator Sportowy has proved that it has ceased to be only a national lottery operator, and has become a modern technology company that, due to changes in the law, could start operating in new areas of the gaming market - said Olgierd Cieślik, President of the Board of Totalizator Sportowy We have achieved the best result in our history thanks to the constant progress, launch of online sales, continuous development of the network of arcade gaming salons and LOTTO sales points. We are constantly working on making us one of the largest players on the gaming market in this part of Europe - added Olgierd Cieślik.

We would like to remind you that key changes in Totalizator Sportowy took place in 2017. At that time, the company gained new opportunities, e.g. the right to launch the well-known international Eurojackpot game, the network of arcades with slot machines outside casinos, online casinos, as well as the opportunity to enter the sale of number games to the Internet. These are the most important changes in the entire history of the company, which were used to introduce a number of innovations and the ongoing technological revolution. These positive changes meant not only an increase in the revenues of Totalizator Sportowy, but also the protection of players, limiting the gray area in gambling and increasing revenues to the state budget.
