Puerto Ricans Can Now Play the Lottery Right from Their Phone

Published

on

 

Jackpocket announced its official launch in Puerto Rico, the first market outside of the contiguous U.S. in which the app is available.

Now, lottery players in Puerto Rico can use Jackpocket to play their favorite lottery games, including Powerball, Loto Cash, Pega 4, Pega 3, and Pega 2 from their phone, anywhere on the island.

The app’s secure platform allows players to conveniently order official lottery tickets that Jackpocket fulfills on their behalf at a licensed lottery retailer. Players can select their game and numbers, view an image of their ticket, get automatically notified if they win, and even receive lottery prizes up to $1200 directly through the app. If players win prizes over $1200, their winning ticket will be transferred to them so they can claim their lottery prize from the Puerto Rico Lottery.

To celebrate the launch, Jackpocket is offering lottery players in Puerto Rico their first lottery ticket for free on the app. New players can receive a $2 credit for one lottery ticket by entering the code LUCKYPR at checkout on their first order.

“We are thrilled to bring Puerto Ricans a new, convenient way to play the lottery. We’re committed to making the lottery fun, safe, and accessible to all who love to play. Proceeds from the Puerto Rico Lottery go to social programs and public works that make a real, tangible impact for Puerto Ricans every day. Now, Jackpocket will help drive additional funds supporting these programs across the island. We can’t wait to celebrate our first big winner in Puerto Rico,” Peter Sullivan, founder and CEO of Jackpocket, said.

The proceeds from Puerto Rico Lottery ticket sales benefit important social programs, such as college scholarships, health programs, sports and recreation, and the improvement of roads and infrastructure. By broadening access to the lottery, Jackpocket will help drive lottery revenue, benefitting these programs while attracting new consumers who would not otherwise be active lottery players. Over 65% of Jackpocket users are 18 to 45 years old.

The Jackpocket app offers a new way to play the lottery with features such as Jackpocket Pools for Powerball, where players can team up with other players in Puerto Rico or create their own lottery pool with friends and co-workers. The app also gives players access to exclusive giveaways for the chance to win trips, sports tickets, free credits, and much more.

Jackpocket is iCAP certified for best practices in player protection, backed by the expertise of the National Council on Problem Gambling. To ensure player safety, Jackpocket offers consumer protections such as daily deposit and spend limits, self-exclusion, and in-app access to responsible gambling resources.

Puerto Rico is now the 18th jurisdiction available for lottery play on the Jackpocket app. Jackpocket users have won over $350 million in lottery prizes to date, with 36 people having won lottery prizes worth $1 million or more.

March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month, and FanDuel, North America’s premier online gaming company, is continuing to build its Responsible Gaming platform through new programming designed to expand access to responsible gaming education. The company is expanding its relationship with Craig Carton to launch “The Comeback with Craig Carton,” a new FanDuel TV show that will focus on problem gambling recovery. FanDuel is also adding new resources to the Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting program that launched last year. Combined with continued support for non-profit partners, these initiatives continue to raise the visibility of problem gambling resources and responsible gaming education.

“FanDuel remains steadfast in its commitment to leading the industry in responsible gaming, and we are proud to introduce industry-first content and programs designed to destigmatize problem gambling and offer education on responsible play. Our new FanDuel TV show with Craig Carton, expanded Trusted Voices program and investments in education and advocacy are part of our year-round commitment to responsible gaming, and we look forward to continuing to offer innovative products and programs to our customers,” said Cory Fox, SVP of Public Policy and Sustainability at FanDuel.

New Problem Gambling Recovery Show on FanDuel TV

Former NBA player and basketball coach Randy Livingston and his wife, sports agent Anita Smith, are FanDuel responsible gaming ambassadors and recently appeared on the first episode of “The Comeback with Craig Carton,” a new show on FanDuel TV focused on problem gambling recovery and hosted by FanDuel’s responsible gaming ambassador Craig Carton. The show features Carton sitting down with those who have experienced the highs and lows of gambling addiction to amplify their stories, break down the stigma surrounding gambling disorder, raise awareness of support resources for individuals and their families and show that recovery is possible. Livingston and Smith were Carton’s first guests and spoke about their family’s history with problem gambling, including the challenges Livingston faced as a recovered problem gambler and Smith faced as his spouse. The episode is now streaming on YouTube and FanDuel TV+.

Trusted Voices Program Expansion and Promotion

New resources from the Trusted Voices: Conversations About Betting program are coming to ConversationsAboutBetting.com. The updates include new resources for college students, their parents, and university staff, including content from KnowYourPlay.org, co-developed by ROGA in partnership with EPIC Global Solutions, Kindbridge Behavioral Health, and the Responsible Gambling Council. FanDuel launched Trusted Voices with Livingston and Smith last year. The program is designed to equip trusted adults, including parents, guardians, and coaches, with tools and resources to talk to young people about gambling, associated risks, how to recognize warning signs and where to go for support. FanDuel is putting paid support behind the program across radio, digital, social, and digital out of home, with the ad campaign aiming to raise awareness of the risks of underage gambling and equip parents and coaches to have proactive and informed conversations about gambling.

Amplifying Gambling Disorder Screening Day

This year’s Gambling Disorder Screening Day, an effort originally founded by the Cambridge Health Alliance’s Division on Addiction, took place on March 11, and FanDuel partnered with Kindbridge Behavioral Health to empower customers nationwide with resources for informed decision making. FanDuel provided customers with Kindbridge’s free, confidential Gambling Disorder Screener and highlighted the telehealth counseling and support services available through Kindbridge for those seeking help. FanDuel also amplified awareness of the day across its social channels.

FanDuel is donating $150,000 to the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) that will further support the NCPG’s Agility Grants program, which is funded by the NFL via the NFL Foundation. This program provides funding to non-profit organizations across the country for problem gambling prevention in areas that currently have no services or to expand existing programming.

The organization is dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by gambling disorder and preventing the onset of gambling problems through high-quality scientific research and evidence-based educational programming. The donation will help fund the creation of a Center of Excellence (COE) focused on advancing research in responsible gambling behaviors. The COE will generate evidence-based insights to help contribute to industry-wide advancements in player protection, engagement strategies, and RG messaging.
