UK-LotterySyndicate Exposed — Syndicates and Sharing Winnings
UK-LotterySyndicate Review
If you are looking for syndicates for the UK National Lottery and EuroMillions, you might like to take a look at UK-LotterySyndicate.com and they say anyone can play. You don’t have to be from or in the UK. This is an online lottery syndicate provider that uses the old system of one standard ticket line and all the different bonus balls available for each syndicate. Okay, that’s all pretty straightforward. What makes this site a little different is how they split up the winnings.

UK-LotterySyndicate.com’s Games
Syndicates at UK-LotterySyndicate.com are for the UK National Lottery weekly and UK EuroMillions when they add a bonus or “promotion” draw. UK EuroMillions adds a guaranteed five (minimum) 1 million dollar draws on the last Friday of each month. UK-LotterySyndicate.com figures that this increase in the odds is worth the gamble. They also use the system of one standard line of lottery tickets using each of the bonus balls available.
Syndicates at UK-LotterySyndicate.com
Each syndicate shares lottery tickets to the value of £80. There is a maximum of 21 shares in each syndicate. If a syndicate is not full, UK-LotterySyndicate.com buys into that syndicate to make up the difference. For the cost of £5 per month, players can buy one share. If a player decides to play for more, then each additional £5 buys into a different syndicate. In UK-LotterySyndicate’s own words “£10 a month=£160 lotto tickets, £15=£240 lotto tickets, etc.” Ticket numbers for each syndicate are posted on their website.
Winnings at UK-LotterySyndicate.com
Okay – this was a little difficult to get our heads around. For winnings more than £1,000, 80% of the prize goes to the syndicate that owns the ticket (s) and this is divided by 21 shares. The other 20% goes to all the lottery groups. For prizes of £1000 or less, the winnings are allotted to all syndicates, and then divided by 21 shares in each. Then they get into something about non-cash prizes that “stay with the group who has the winning ticket until it is converted or wins a cash prize”. This is a trip for two to some exotic port – like the Manta Resort off the coast of Tanzania. I’m not sure how they figure this is going to be ‘converted’.
Claiming Your Winnings at UK-LotterySyndicate
Winnings are posted to individual accounts in the middle and the end of the month and this is when it gets a little strange. They also say they calculate total winnings each month and then individual shares every three months, though earlier if there is a mega win. Syndicate members can draw winnings when they are £10 or more, with no commission, but fees/bank charges if applicable.

Does Their System Work?
Is UK-LotterySyndicate.com Legit?
My biggest issue is the fact that I’d get pretty annoyed if our syndicate numbers used on the Mega Friday draw for EuroMillions actually turned up as that mega-winning ticket on the other draws during the month. The team also struggled a bit on the whole timing of the calculation of winnings.
UK-LotterySyndicate.com gets a thumbs down. I personally don’t agree with the system they use plus I’d want at a minimum all EuroMillions draws played. If you are playing here, please give us some feedback on how you are doing!

Buys thousands of tickets but no jackpot. Winnings sent is minimal without jackpot wins. More return playing on my own.
ONLY CAMELOT wins the jackpot.

Operating as a limited company but yet you pay money into an individual account (Bernado V.). Their reports show they’re are making a loss though I don’t their setup is skewed to make a profit from margins between income received and actual tickets bought. I will well stay away.

I had a call but was not told I was one of 150 in a syndicate. I sent an email last month to cancel as I was beginning to feel this was a scam. After reading reviews I have now cancelled my DD as another payment was taken from my bank account since cancelling. As I have only won 22p then I would rather lose that than £39 each month.

I got a call offering my free lottery tickets. I thought free why not. Got nothing to lose and then they asked me for bank details for money transfer for winnings to go into. Then all this about setting up direct debit to join and the amount of £39 to be taken etc. I literally googled up whether it is a scam while still on the phone to them. A lot of info in a short space of time while I have a poorly baby crying next time to. Cut off the line. But since I’ve had several missed calls from same number very desperate to get a hold of me. Was too cautious to go ahead.. Not for me!!!
I joined syndicate on 1st October £39 was taken from my bank. I joined following a phone call from them offering this win-win situation. had no confirmation or communication from them and trying to log in doesn’t recognise my email or won’t verify log in. have I been scammed?
