Goa Launches India’s First Fully Tech-Based Online Lottery: Great Goa Games
A New Era for Lotteries in India
Currently, India’s lottery system predominantly relies on paper tickets, which are officially prevalent in over 10 states. Great Goa Games aims to change that by introducing a completely paperless online lottery system. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, this app-based platform will provide a seamless experience for lottery lovers across the nation.

At Rhiti Sports, our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology. Great Goa Games will not only offer an unparalleled experience for players but also build trust and excitement. This initiative underscores our commitment to societal betterment through innovation, making the lottery accessible and rewarding for everyone.”
Bridging Socioeconomic Divides
One of the standout features of Great Goa Games is its potential to increase participation rates across diverse demographics, particularly among the unskilled workforce. By democratizing access to online lottery opportunities, the platform aims to bridge socioeconomic divides and address the significant loss of tax revenue to the government, estimated at around ₹2 lakh crores.
This enhanced accessibility empowers individuals to try their luck while fostering a sense of community as players share their experiences and dreams of winning.
Promoting Responsible Gaming
Great Goa Games is committed to promoting responsible gaming through advanced technology and transparency. The platform will provide educational resources about responsible play, helping users understand the risks and rewards associated with lottery participation.
Moreover, the online lottery will ensure transparency in operations, allowing users to track how lottery proceeds are utilized, particularly in funding social initiatives like education and healthcare. This accountability fosters trust within the community, encouraging players to support causes that align with their values.
Setting New Standards in the Lottery Industry
Mr. Narayan Gad, Director of the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries, commented on the development, saying, “Lottery as a form of gaming and entertainment is now accepted across India. With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry. The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
The Man Behind the Vision
Arun Pandey, a former Ranji-level cricketer, has successfully transitioned into the corporate arena, carving a niche in sports marketing. His deep understanding of the sports ecosystem has allowed him to design innovative campaigns that elevate Indian sports. Notably, he played a pivotal role in managing MS Dhoni’s brand and co-producing the biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.
Expanding his vision into the digital frontier, Mr. Pandey has previously collaborated with icons like Amitabh Bachchan and Stan Lee to launch exclusive NFTs through his initiative, beyondlife.club.
