Best Lottery Betting Sites UK (2024)

The name gives it away, doesn't it? While Lottoland now also offers a sportsbook and a casino section to its customers, its roots lie in lotto betting and this remains the most popular section of the site. Rightfully so, as over 25 lotto games are offered by the bookie and many of these have large jackpots.

Most betting sites that have lotto games offer fixed odds, so when you partake you are actually not betting to win a jackpot, but rather a fixed fee based on how many numbers you get right. Lottoland, meanwhile, does not offer fixed odds but rather the more traditional lotto approach, with the punter hoping to clinch a jackpot (or at least part of it).

The minimum stake is slightly higher than what some might expect, at least for the popular games as a line costs £2-3. There is also no welcome offer for the lotto section, but this matters little as the sheer coverage Lottoland has makes up for it. It is the king of online lotto betting, that is for sure.

Betfred is a close second on this list as a lot of effort has been put into the lotto section on its site. Unlike Lottoland, Betfred offers fixed odds for its lotto games but there are still some very good prizes available. The Nifty Fifty game, for example, has a top prize of £5m if you pick six correct numbers without the bonus ball.

In total, there are around 15 different lotto games and the minimum stake is just £1, which is very nice. There is also a lotto welcome offer for new customers, while special markets can be found for the lotto draws. Betfred has everything you could ask for and a little more, at least from a Lotto betting site.

The fact that such a hefty prize can be won from just £1 stake is very nice to see.

The Pools is mainly known for - you guessed it - pool betting but the lotto section has also become rather popular on the site. Perhaps this is because The Pools has decided to focus on just four games, which have been rebranded as their own but in truth, these are all based on real lottery draws.

Lucky 4 Life, which is based on the Irish lotto's result, has a minimum stake of just 50p and a top prize of £1m. It should be noted that this works in the same way as Betfred, with fixed prizes for each number of correct balls, while the games at Lottoland fluctuate based on the jackpot and winners.

The Pools lacks a welcome offer for Lotto, which is a bit of a shame, but there are at least some promotions for the section.

William Hill is very similar to Betfred in the sense that both offer about the same games, fixed odds and low minimum stakes. There are just over ten lotto games available on the site and the highest prize is £1m, so you can see already that while they are similar, William Hill deserves to be below Betfred.

There is a lotto welcome offer on the site, though, and the lotto section is very easy to navigate even for those who are not used to this type of betting. On the other hand, the bookie lacks some of the special markets that are offered by Betfred, which is something that some punters might see as a con.

Coral is a fantastic bookie in many ways, especially for a sport like football, but it should only ever be a last resort for lotto betting. Or perhaps if you just like to place the occasional lotto bet. This is because the bookie only offers three games, namely Irish Daily Million, Irish Lotto and 49s.

There is a lotto welcome offer, which helps, and the minimum stake is also low at £1. The highest prize is £1m like William Hill and the site is very easy to navigate. Overall, Coral is certainly a decent option but nowhere near as good as the best sites on this list.
