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!”

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29^th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.

The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.

Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.

Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:

“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”

The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.

The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.

Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
