Popular Lotto365 product enhances customer experience through additional draws and extra languages

Success of 49’s powered live lottery product brings about increase to 460 draws per day

SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-channel supplier of 24/7 live betting services, has significantly enhanced Lotto365, the online lottery product it created in partnership with bet365, by increasing the number of live draws and adding extra language options.

The early success and widespread popularity of Lotto365, produced by SIS-owned 49’s and launched in partnership with the sports betting operator late last year, has resulted in an increase in the numbers of daily live draws from 276 to 460.

This means that Lotto365 is now running a live draw every three minutes on bet365 .com, instead of the previous five minutes, for 23 hours a day.

Lotto365 has also added to its international appeal by launching in three extra languages: Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish. Further language variants are planned for launch in the future.

Lotto365 is created and streamed from SIS’ broadcast studios in Milton Keynes and can be viewed as it happens via live streaming on bet365 .com. The ‘pick five from 36’ format provides players with the chance to win up to £100,000 from just a £1 stake when all five numbers are correctly drawn, whilst there are also many smaller prizes up for grabs, even if only one matching ball is revealed.

In addition, the live product offers customers the ability to bet on markets such as the colours of balls drawn, which are yellow, white, and green in-line with bet365’s existing branding, as well as odd/even numbers.

All results also feature on the 49s.co.uk website, allowing bettors to view recent draws, discover the hot and cold balls, and search for statistics relating to individual ball numbers since the product first launched on 30 Dec 2022.

The new enhancements further demonstrate bet365’s continued investment in its lottery products. The operator also recently became the first brand to stream the market-leading 49’s fixed-odds live numbers product online.

Jessica Mills, Head of Product Proposition at SIS, said: “It’s been such a positive and fun experience working as one with bet365 to evolve Lotto365. We had every confidence that the product would attract a wide and diverse audience and the speed at which this has been achieved is very gratifying.

“We have enjoyed instant success and look forward to further additions to what is proving to be a very engaging live draw product.”

A bet365 spokesperson said: “Lotto is a key product for many bettors within the bet365 group, and we’ve been delighted with the performance of Lotto365 since launch.

“Our partnership with SIS is going from strength to strength, and with more draws per day we hope to deliver even more excitement and more chances to win!”

F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.

In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.

The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.

F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.

“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
