02 · Why this mixPor que este mix

The nine states span every US lottery archetype. Os nove estados cobrem cada arquétipo de loteria US.

Kobow's nine modeled jurisdictions are not a convenience pick — they deliberately cover every major regulatory archetype in North American regulated lottery: instant-dominant retail (CA, MA, ID), omnichannel mature (MI), iLottery-growth (VA, NC, NH), outsourced turnkey (KS) and charitable e-pull-tab (MN). Any 10th or 14th market a client needs to enter is a composition of these nine. As nove jurisdições modeladas pela Kobow não são uma escolha de conveniência — cobrem deliberadamente todos os arquétipos regulatórios da loteria regulada norte-americana: retail instant-dominante (CA, MA, ID), omnichannel maduro (MI), iLottery em crescimento (VA, NC, NH), turnkey outsourced (KS) e e-pull-tab charitable (MN). Qualquer 10º ou 14º mercado em que um cliente queira entrar é uma composição dessas nove.
