ABACUS Solutions International is a Dutch registered company with offices in both the UK and The Netherlands. ABACUS was established to develop concepts for new lottery games and sales channels when using chip & PIN card terminals in consumer market outlets. The processes that support this business model are protected with a number of international patents and trade marks.
ABACUS is unique in that it employs experts from both the lottery world and the payment processing industry as well as software technologists. Its goal is to drive innovation and change within lotteries worldwide.
Our aim is to offer solutions that have simplicity at its core, with speed to market and high levels of lottery and payment security: speed, simplicity and security are our bywords. Our concepts, games and technology work in partnership with lottery organisations and their suppliers, enabling all parties to benefit from the growth and use of chip & PIN transactions in consumer spending. Our solutions are complex but not complicated.
PIN&WIN™ is our core product offering and it is this that makes us different from anybody else in the market place. The PIN&WIN™ concept is both a delivery channel as well as a new and innovative instant win game - similar to ‘scratch-cards’.
A player is asked at the cash register if they wish to play the game, where a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ option is requested by the operator or at the point of display screen. On deciding to play by saying yes, they are instantly informed on the standard till receipt whether they are a winner or not. Winnings can be paid in cash or directly into the card account.
