Problem
Existing mobile applications lack the ability to offer users the engaging experience of physical lottery scratch-off tickets. Integrating physical scratch-off tickets into mobile platforms presents logistical and regulatory compliance challenges.
Solution
ScratchMobile provides a white-labeled API that enables mobile applications to offer users the ability to purchase and play state-regulated lottery scratch-off tickets. The platform utilizes custom-designed robots, called ScratchBots, to physically scratch tickets in a secure, compliant environment. Users can interact with the ScratchBot via an interactive video stream, choosing between "Fast Action" mode for quick results or "Real Interaction" mode for a more realistic experience. The platform handles regulatory compliance, age verification, AML, and geolocation requirements.
