A betting and lottery platform is one of the densest products to design - odds, slips, wallets, live events, loyalty and promotions all fighting for attention. Lottogram tames that complexity into a bold, confident experience that feels consistent and trustworthy across desktop and mobile alike.

01 --The Problem

Context & The Problem

Betting platforms live and die on clarity and trust. Users move fast across games, live events and their wallet - often switching between a desktop session and their phone mid-bet. Most platforms feel cluttered and inconsistent between the two, eroding confidence right where money is on the line.

"In betting, the interface is the trust - it has to feel as confident on a phone in your hand as on a desktop at home."

๐ŸŽฏ

Problem Statement

A data-dense product - odds, bet history, wallets, live events - was hard to make scannable and trustworthy, and even harder to keep consistent across desktop and mobile.

๐Ÿ

The Goal

Design a bold, cohesive platform with a single design system that scales seamlessly from a wide desktop layout to a focused mobile experience.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Target Audience

Casual players chasing promotions and games, and serious bettors who track odds, bet history and their wallet closely - on whichever device they're on.

02 --Discovery & Research

Discovery & Research

The research centred on two truths: betting users are impatient and detail-hungry at the same time, and they expect total parity between desktop and mobile. Designing one without the other was never an option.

Typical Betting Apps vs. The Opportunity

โœ• Common Platform Pitfalls
  • Cluttered screens that bury odds and the bet slip
  • Desktop and mobile that feel like different products
  • Wallet and history that are hard to trust at a glance
โœ“ Lottogram's Opportunity
  • A bold red-and-gold system that guides the eye to what matters
  • One design language scaled across desktop & mobile
  • Clear wallet, bet history & loyalty built for confidence

The same information architecture was designed twice in parallel - a wide desktop layout (with a foldable sidebar) and a focused mobile layout - sharing one component system so nothing felt out of place between them.

04 --The Solution

Visual Design & Style Guide

The identity leans into the energy of the lottery - a bold red core lit with gold for wins and value, grounded by deep navy and clean neutrals. Everything sits on a strict, documented system (a Lexend type scale, plus consistent gaps of 4-80 and paddings of 20-80) so the design stays tight and consistent across every screen and both devices.

Typography

Lexend - a clean, friendly sans designed for reading proficiency, keeping a data-heavy betting interface legible at every size.

High-Fidelity Screens

The same platform, designed end-to-end for both devices. Switch between the desktop and mobile views below, and click any screen to open it in high resolution.

05 --Interactions

Interaction Design & Emotional Intent

The feeling to evoke is the buzz of the game - energetic and exciting, but never reckless. Bold reds and golds create momentum, while clear structure around money keeps it trustworthy.

โ†”๏ธ

Foldable Desktop Sidebar

On desktop, a foldable navigation sidebar lets power users reclaim space for dense odds and history, or expand for easy browsing.

๐Ÿ‘›

Wallet & Loyalty

Balance, bonuses, loyalty and bet/betbuilder history are organised into a clear, confidence-building wallet - the same logic on both devices.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Desktop โ†” Mobile Parity

A shared component system means a user who starts on desktop and finishes on mobile never feels lost - same language, re-tuned for each screen.

"A dense betting product made bold, clear and genuinely consistent - from a wide desktop layout right down to a phone in your hand."

๐Ÿ“ˆ Outcome

A complete iGaming design system: Home, Games, Live Events, Promotions, Wallet, Bet & BetBuilder history, Loyalty, Messages and Affiliate - designed end-to-end for both desktop and mobile.

๐Ÿง— Challenge

Keeping a data-dense product feeling bold yet trustworthy, and holding perfect parity between two very different layouts from a single component system.

๐Ÿ’ก What I Learned

Designing desktop and mobile in parallel - not one then the other - is what keeps a system honest. A strict spacing and type scale is the glue that holds parity together.

๐Ÿš€ Next Steps

Hand off to engineering, prototype the live in-play interactions, and extend the system to tablet and additional game verticals.
