About ZEAL Network SE
From Tipp24 to ZEAL Network SE
The origins of ZEAL Network SE date back to 1999, when the company began operating as Tipp24 SE. Initially focused on providing online access to national lotteries, it soon became one of Europe’s most recognizable names in digital lottery brokerage. In 2014, the group rebranded as ZEAL Network SE to better reflect its diversified operations and international ambitions.
A key milestone came in 2019 with the acquisition of Lotto24 AG, a major player in Germany’s licensed lottery brokerage market. This strategic move consolidated ZEAL Network’s position as the country’s largest online lottery intermediary and strengthened its foothold in regulated gaming.
Business Model and Core Activities
ZEAL Network SE operates as an online lottery broker, not a lottery operator. This means the company sells official tickets for state-licensed lotteries such as LOTTO 6aus49, EuroJackpot, Spiel 77, and Keno, acting as an intermediary between players and lottery organizers.
This brokerage model ensures transparency and stable earnings since earns commissions rather than assuming jackpot risks. Beyond its core lottery business, the company also explores new verticals such as instant games, social lotteries, and virtual slots — broadening its appeal while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Innovation and Market Leadership
ZEAL Network SE has embraced a digital-first strategy that positions it as a technology-driven company within a traditionally conservative industry. Its brands, Lotto24 and Tipp24, offer user-friendly interfaces, secure payment processing, and advanced account management tools, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for millions of players.
In 2023, received regulatory approval to offer virtual slot-machine games in Germany, further expanding its portfolio beyond lottery brokerage. This move demonstrates the group’s commitment to innovation and diversification while remaining fully compliant with German gaming law.
Responsible Gaming and Social Contribution
At the heart of ZEAL Network SE’s mission is the belief that gaming should be both responsible and beneficial to society. A significant share of lottery proceeds supports state and charitable initiatives, reinforcing ZEAL’s role as a socially responsible gaming company.
