Côte d'Ivoire enhances betting security with launch of PAYME by LONACI

A new era of trust between LONACI and its bettors has begun with the official launch of PAYME by LONACI, an instant payment platform, unveiled on December 21, 2024, at the Azalai Hotel.

With this platform, players holding physical tickets are no longer required to visit a sales point or agency to claim their winnings. Instead, they can now receive payments directly via mobile money.

“We are providing greater security and flexibility in managing bettors' winnings,” assured the Director General, Mr. Dramane Coulibaly, during the launch ceremony.

In addition to enhancing convenience, PAYME by LONACI also contributes to reducing cash transactions. This makes it an effective tool for promoting financial inclusion, which, according to the World Bank, is a key factor in reducing poverty and fostering prosperity.

Moreover, reducing cash transactions with players supports efforts to combat money laundering in the country.

PAYME by LONACI is part of a series of strategic innovations that have significantly transformed LONACI, establishing it as a leading player in its sector.

It is also worth noting that all LONACI games are now accessible online through the LONACIONLINE platform, available via the internet or by dialing *590# on mobile phones.
