Online Product Update: New Accessibility Updates!

We’re thrilled to announce a significant accessibility update to our platform! At lottery.mt, we’re committed to making our services more accessible and user-friendly. Our latest enhancements empower users to control their experience seamlessly, ensuring a smoother journey.

What’s The New Accessibility Update?

Swipe Button for Confirmation: Unlike traditional buttons or checkboxes, swipe gestures reduce accidental activations. Users must intentionally swipe to confirm actions, significantly decreasing the likelihood of unintended clicks. Whether you’re purchasing a ticket or adjusting settings, the swipe button ensures precision.

Triggering Sounds: We believe in inclusivity. Certain users, including those with visual impairments or cognitive disabilities, benefit from auditory alerts. These sounds serve as important cues, notifying users of critical information or changes on the website. Stay informed and engaged with our intuitive sound feedback accessibility update.

How to Access These Features

It’s simple! Head over to My Account and explore the Accessibility section. There, you’ll find the controls to customize your experience according to your preferences.

At lottery.mt, we’re dedicated to providing an exceptional user journey. Try out these new features and let us know what you think!
