How Can Sky Bet Afford to Give Away Money for Free?

Super 6, Fantasy Football and now Sky Lotto are what’s known as ‘acquisition and retention tools’ - this means that although Sky Bet will be losing money on these particular games they attract enough new customers to Sky Bet to pay for itself. Super 6 is trying to get more users to place bets on football through Sky Bet, Sky Lotto is trying to get more users to play scratchcards and slot games.

What Are The Prizes?

Naturally, you’ll be thinking that if Sky Lotto are giving away money for free then the odds of winning must be miniscule?

Pros

Play for free and win up to £250,000!
For a small stake of £0.50 win up to £1,000,000
Sky Lotto also offers a wide range of scratchcards with jackpots up to £250,000
Operated by Sky - a large, trusted UK brand

Cons

Only drawn once per week
Paying £0.50 with the chance of winning the £1,000,000 isn’t always the best value. Other lottos such as the Polish Lotto can offer better returns, similar odds and similar stake.

Is a 10p "free" scratchcard for 10p is free ?

I have recently done the Sky Lotto. Twice I have had two numbers, to win the free 10p scratchcard, but I was charged 10p on my SkyBet account for the privilege ! Obviously 10p is nothing for me, but multiply that up for all the clients, and it goes towards the promotion costing them a lot less.

Fixed.

Started playing the free lotto 7 weeks ago, every day for 4 weeks I would win 10-20p in free scratch cards and any winnings eg: 3, 5, 8, 10p I would take and not gamble any of my own money but the last 3 weeks I have not won a penny so obviously it is fixed.
