Betfred is a well-established company that was founded in 1967 by Fred Done. It started out as a UK-facing company with betting shops, but it has since grown into an international brand with an excellent online presence. Lotto has always been a high priority for Betfred, and it is currently ranked as the #1 UK bookmaker for 49's lotto.
In 2022, Betfred launched in South Africa after acquiring Phumelela and Betting World South Africa. This acquisition gave Betfred a great online betting product and an existing set of customers, which allowed it to bring its Lotto betting products to market very quickly in South Africa.
Betfred offers a wide range of lotteries, including all of the favorites such as the 49's, Gosloto, and SA Daily. It also offers a couple of lotteries that are not available anywhere else, such as Fred's Hourly Powerball and The Nifty Fifty. UK 49's customers particularly like The Nifty Fifty because it is very similar to the 49's but is drawn more frequently. Both lotteries have six balls plus a bonus ball drawn, however, the UK 49's is from 49 balls and The Nifty Fifty is from 50.
Overall, Betfred is a great option for Lotto players in South Africa. It offers a wide range of lotteries, competitive odds, and a user-friendly online platform. If you are looking for a place to play the lotto, Betfred is a great choice.
