Scientific Games and FDJ United, One of the World’s Top-Performing Lotteries, Continue Longtime Successful Scratchcard Partnership

Nearly 30-Year Partnership with France’s National Lottery Based on Trust and Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

ATLANTA – October 1, 2026 – Scientific Games and FDJ United, one of the world’s top 15 performing lotteries (La Fleur’s 2026 World Lottery Almanac), will continue their longtime scratchcard games partnership. The global lottery company will serve as the national lottery of France’s primary scratchcard partner. The nearly 30-year partnership is based on trust and a shared commitment to environmental sustainability with FDJ United, a leading betting and gaming operator.

Scientific Games’ commitment to protecting the environment aligns with FDJ United’s goals to reduce the lottery industry’s carbon footprint with eco-friendly products and production methods, and deliver sustainable growth in a responsible manner.

Stéphane Pallez, Chair & CEO of FDJ United, said, “We are confident in renewing our long-standing partnership with Scientific Games. With more than 27 million players, our scratchcard games represent the largest segment in FDJ United’s portfolio. Operating sustainably and responsibly guides everything we do. Scientific Games is aligned to help us achieve our goals and stay true to the historic values of FDJ United by supplying games that are produced using 100% paper from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.”

The FSC sets the global standard for responsible forest management, helping ensure forests are managed in ways that respect people, nature and future generations.

FDJ United is the second-largest lottery in Europe based on total sales, surpassed only by Italy. A key requirement of FDJ United is scratchcard supply that ensures speed-to-market and flexibility. FDJ United's games will be produced at the Scientific Games European Center of Game Production Excellence in the UK.

Matthias Müller, Senior VP, International for Scientific Games, said, “Scientific Games is proud of the strong, successful relationship that we’ve forged with FDJ United across the decades. We strive to continue delivering high-quality, environmentally friendly products to surpass the expectations of one of the world’s top-performing lotteries.”
