History

Back in the year 1995, Brisbane based Mike Veverka founded Jumbo Interactive as a software development and internet service provider company. In 1999, Jumbo Interactive was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as Jumbomall.com. The company focused towards providing ecommerce services to vendors around the world to help them sell products online via the internet.

It was in 2001, that the Australian Government passed the Interactive Gambling Act and Mike took advantage of the situation, thus shifting the focus of the business towards selling of online tottery tickets. Initially the emphasis was primarily on small scale charity lotteries that were state based. In 2005, Jumbo Interactive acquired TMS Global Services making the company go national. TMS Global Services were already in the business, operating an interactive lottery network since 1984. This was one of the biggest milestones and growth turnarounds for Jumbo. The acquisitions resumed in 2007, with Jumbo acquiring Software publishing Company Manacomm. This gave them the platform and exposure to develop their existing business of Oz Lotteries.

The game changer came in the May of 2017, when the renowned Australian Gaming Tycoon Tatts Group invested a whopping $15.6 Million in Jumbo taking a 15% stake in the company.
