The 49's is currently offered by seven different bookmakers in the UK - each of these bookmakers have their own lotto betting sections that feature a variety of lotteries - 49's, Irish, Nifty Fifty, etc. However, somewhat confusingly, these lotto betting sections vary wildy between bookmakers - some offer more lotteries, some offer less lotteries, some feature results and some don't.

At the time of writing, William Hill and Paddy Power don't feature the 49's results but the remaining bookmakers do.

SIS.tv, the creators of many people’s favourite draw, the 49’s, have recently announced they are launching a couple of new numbers game innovations. Bet49s.com takes a look at what we can expect when they launch and how they compare with the 49’s:

39’s

As the name suggests, rather than 49 balls to choose from, you have 39 balls. Plus, instead of drawing 6 balls + the bonus ball (like the 49’s) the 39’s will only draw 5 balls. Finally, instead of having to wait until the 12.49 and 17.49 draws, the 39’s will have draws every 15 minutes.

Ah, don’t we all love a good conspiracy?

However, while it may sometimes feel that we’ll never win a lotto jackpot, it’s not true that the 49’s is fixed so that you can’t win.

How can we be so sure? Well, like all gambling products in the UK, the 49’s is heavily regulated by numerous bodies that ensure players are subject to a fair and transparent betting experience.

Indeed, the UK Gambling Commission is responsible for licensing products (such as the 49's) as well as bookmakers (such as bet365) to check that both aspects are behaving responsibly to players.
