On Thursday 21st January Annexio hosted over 110 guests at the inaugural eClub event of 2016. No doubt part of the attraction for guests, along with catching up with their industry peers, was the fact that each attendee was gifted with a free Euromillions line for that weekend. Sadly, it would appear that no one won the big prize, but three other prizes were won on the evening by lucky attendees including Chris Till, Chief Executive of Standard Bank, who went home with a brand new Apple Watch.

Annexio Limited is a lottery services business that gives customers the chance to play in some of the biggest jackpots worldwide. The company has been trading for over four years and in this short time it has seen the team grow rapidly. In 2013 they were the fastest growing online gaming company on the Isle of Man and they now operate as one of the world's leading secondary lottery operators. The company is proud to offer the largest jackpots in the lottery world with players picking their favourite numbers or taking advantage of syndicate style games as well as offering their services through B2B facing websites and consumer websites. Annexio is headed up by Managing Director, Jennifer Houghton.

Commenting on the evening, Jennifer Houghton Annexio Managing Director said, “We are delighted that so many of our industry colleagues were able to turn up to the 2016 launch event. The eClub provides a great environment to network and catch up with colleagues.” Jennifer greeted guests saying, “To help you celebrate the first eClub meeting of 2016, Annexio is giving you the chance to become a millionaire – I did say we think big! Each of you will receive a free Euromillions line and while you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if you’ve hit that jackpot, your ticket may be a winner tonight as we have three fantastic prizes to give away – an Apple Watch, a Lego Millennium Falcon and a GHD Gift Set.”

The eClub is a social meeting place for anyone involved in eGaming on the Isle of Man or those with an interest in the sector. The initiative was started by KPMG and Continent 8 Technologies to bring the growing number of people working in the sector together in one place and start building lasting relationships. As well as providing a social venue, the eClub party also gives colleagues and friends the opportunity to chat informally about ideas and issues related to eGaming on the Island.
