What is a syndicate?
A syndicate, in the sense of betting on lotteries, is a group of people that combine their money in order to increase their chances of winning.
With the money that they pool together, they make multiple line bets together on the outcome of a lottery draw and share any prize money won.
The benefit of the Syndicate feature is that it lets you boost your chances of winning, allowing you to buy much more shares of numerous lottery line bets than a player would just making bets by themselves.
How do I place a Syndicate bet?
- Select your chosen lottery and then click on the ‘Syndicates’ tab.
- Select the syndicate size you wish to place your bet on.
- Choose how many shares you want.
How do Syndicates work?
The lines are the amount of lines that you will be betting on in this syndicate. In the case above, 168 lines — or 168 lotto bets — in total will be placed on the next jackpot draw. If any of these numbers result in winning a prize, then the prize money is paid out to you in accordance to the numbers of shares you bought.
The shares are the amount of shares that are available for this syndicate bet. IN the example in the image, 100 shares are available. You can purchase 1, 2 or 5 shares in total for this syndicate. If you buy 1 share of the possible 100, then you will receive 1/100th of the prize and so on.
So, if you select 1 share for a lottery with a jackpot of £100m and one of the lines in the syndicate won the jackpot, you would receive £1 million. If you selected 2 shares you would receive £2m and if you selected 5 shares you would receive £5m. There is also additional information about the syndicate, for example, in the case above, the 168 lines will be placed on the next draw and there is no automatic renewal.
How can I see my syndicate numbers?
When you place your syndicate bet, you can see your numbers by going to “My Account” in the top right hand corner, clicking on “My Acivity” and then clicking on “My Syndicates”.
You will see a bet slip with a combination of numbers. These combination of numbers make up the total amount of lines that you have bought in your syndicate. These are the numbers that you use to check if you have won anything in the lottery draw.
You will also be emailed your lotto syndicate numbers via a confirmation email.
