After working in the gambling industry for over a decade, Oliver spotted an opportunity to setup a resource for lottery bettors. CompareTheLotto.com was founded in 2014, with Bet49s.com and Bet49s.co.za following shortly after. The aim is to find the best odds, offers and information for lottery bettors.

Betfred Lotto has always been at the forefront of Lottery Betting in the UK (and, recently South Africa), they are the top-rated bookmaker on CompareTheLotto.com and have won the Best Overall Operator Award in our recent Lotto Awards 2023.
So, needless to say, here at CompareTheLotto.com we pay attention to the latest developments at Betfred Lotto.
This week, Betfred have launched two Lotto Betting TV adverts. This may be a beneficial time to either join Betfred (if you don’t have an account) or to put your standard Lotto bets on (if you do have an account) as there are often decent weekly offers to correspond with the ads being shown on TV. Plus, it’s a good sign to see repeated investment into Lottery Betting - more Lottery Bettors means more options, better products, etc.
So, let’s take a look at the ads:

With Betfred Lotto
Great! We love the style of the ad and the messaging. Betfred have referenced the 49’s and the Nifty Fifty - interestingly, there is no mention of the popular Irish Lotto. This could be just for simplicity and keeping the ad message clear. The bet that’s referenced is pick and match 3 balls - this is the most popular bet for Lotto Bettors due to it’s balance between large odds/returns but still with a favourable probability of winning - so this makes sense to feature in the ad.

I love Nifty Fifty
It's five draws a day, every day and a huge jackpot.
£5 million. Not bad, is it?Voiceover:
A lot of people like a Lotto bet.
So try Betfred Lotto's Nifty Fifty.
A massive £5 million jackpot, is available five times a day, and if you miss out by one number, you'll win a £10,000 consolation.
With a lot of choice and a lot to win.
Bet a little to win a Lotto
with Betfred Lotto's Nifty Fifty
In-store and online.
Again, we love the general style and feel of the ad.
This ad is focused entirely on the Nifty Fifty - this is a product developed by Betfred and only offered by Betfred. It was also built around Lottery Bettors (as opposed to Irish Lotto, Powerball, etc which were designed for ticket purchasers). As such, it makes sense for Betfred to push the Nifty Fifty. We wrote a previous blog post about how revolutionary the Nifty Fifty is for Lotto Bettors.
This ad focuses on the jackpot (£5M) rather than pick and match 3 balls - although betting on the jackpot is less popular than the pick and match 3 balls option it’s perhaps a good way to entice new players in. The £10,000 consolation is a new feature and attractive to players making a £1 bet - imagine getting so close and not getting a penny!
