National Lottery sister sites

National Lottery sister sites 2023

Some themes get used a lot more than others in iGaming. The Las Vegas theme gets used more than most. It takes something special to stand out from all the other hundreds of Las Vegas-themed casinos, and Mr Vegas Casino doesn’t have that special “something.” It’s hampered by the fact that it was put together using one of the various templates that ProgressPlay Limited is fond of using when it’s putting National Lottery sister sites together – and this is the most oft-used of those templates. The scrolling graphics on the homepage might catch your eye on first viewing, but they’re less likely to catch your eye when you’ve seen them at twenty or thirty different casino and betting sites. Still, if you’d like to play casino games and slots at sites that look better suited to that purpose than National Lottery, Mr Vegas Casino is as good an option as any on this network.

You can separate the National Lottery sister sites into a few categories. One of the most basic ways of sorting them is into sites that offer casino games plus sports betting and sites that only offer casino games. From a quick glance at Spinz Win, you’d naturally assume that it first into the second category – but it actually fits into the first. In fact, Spinz Win offers players almost everything it’s possible to find on the ProgressPlay Limited casino network, all under one roof. Online slots dominate the offerings on the Spinz Win homepage, but the options across the top of the game confirm the availability of live dealers, a roulette suite, a blackjack suite, and a sportsbook hiding behind the “betting” tab. Spinz Win should shout about what it has to offer a lot louder than it does. A new homepage and user interface would make a drastic difference.

If the reason you’re looking for National Lottery sister sites is that you want to play somewhere that matches National Lottery as closely as possible, Euro Millions is your best bet on this casino network. The two sites aren’t just similar – they’re virtually identical. Both of them use the same hook, and some people would call the hook misleading. They name themselves after the best-known lottery draws that happen in the UK – the National Lottery and Euro Millions – but they have nothing to do with the company that organises those draws. Instead, the sites are run by a company called Take That (no, no involvement from Gary Barlow), which offers access to lotteries all over Europe and the wider world. The only way ProgressPlay Limited is involved in these sites is in the provision of casino games, which can be found under the “casino” tab at the top of the Euro Millions homepage.

By the standards of this casino network, Winissimo has everything going for it. It’s “Winissimo Casino & Sportsbook,” to give it its full name, and it’s an iGaming site that does exactly what it claims to do. There’s a casino and a sportsbook here, and you don’t have to log in and out to move between them. So far, so much like several other National Lottery sister sites. The big, important difference is that Winissimo wasn’t built with a template. There isn’t another casino on the whole ProgressPlay Limited platform that looks like this one. In terms of the quality of its content and the quality of its looks, Winissimo should be right up there with Monster Casino in terms of how popular it is with players. The fact that it isn’t is probably down to the amount of money that it spends on advertising.

Please don’t ask us what a “Tebwin” is; we have no idea. Don’t ask us why this casino site has an analogue telephone dial set into the “b” of its logo; we have no idea what that’s doing there either. Tebwin is one of the most strangely-named National Lottery sister sites, but it’s another site for you to consider if you’re into sports betting. In fact, very few of the casinos on this platform lean as heavily into sports betting as this one does – not even the ones that promote themselves as sports betting sites. Tebwin is so focused on listing the latest odds on live or upcoming sporting matters that it even forgets to promote its welcome bonus on its homepage – a fact that might cost it a few players who might otherwise have been persuaded to sign up and place bets.

Irish-themed casinos are ten-a-penny on the UK scene. We’re probably understating how common they are; they’re more like twenty-a-penny. Much like the Las Vegas theme we mentioned when we were talking about Mr Vegas Casino, it takes something incredibly special to make an Irish-themed casino site stand out from all the rest. Unfortunately, O’Reels isn’t even the best of the Irish-themed casinos among the National Lottery sister sites. That honour goes to Pots of Gold, although the competition isn’t especially stiff. The theme at O’Reels – insofar as there’s any theme at the casino at all – only stretches as far as the logo and the hint of Irish green that surrounds it. None of this would matter if O’Reels was substantially a great casino, but it’s actually the only one of the National Lottery sister sites not to offer any matched deposit cash with its welcome promotion.

If you were to embark on a digital journey that took in all of the National Lottery sister sites, you’d call at a lot of sports betting sites on your tour. Of all the sports betting sites you’ll see, though, you won’t find one that’s as serious about sports betting as Britain Bet. We know we said that Tebwin was dedicated to the matter of sports betting, but Tebwin was pieced together with the same template as O’Reels and Mr Vegas Casino. Britain Bet was purpose-built for sports betting, with a unique homepage layout. Promotions are minimalised at Britain Bet – they’re there, but the graphics that advertise them are tiny. Almost all the space on the homepage is occupied by dropdown lists of sports and betting options and a very long passage of text about why this is the right sports betting site for you. You won’t find anything flashy at Britain Bet, but that’s precisely what its customers like about it.

National Lottery Information

National Lottery operator – ProgressPlay Limited

There are a lot of sites on the ProgressPlay Limited platform, but only one other like National Lottery. That’s Euro Millions, which we mentioned at the top of this page when we were talking about the National Lottery sister sites. In both cases, the bulk of the sites belong to (and are operated by) Take That Limited, which is one of ProgressPlay’s many white-label casino business partners. Take That is responsible for all the lottery features. All ProgressPlay Limited does is provide the casinos with games. This isn’t typical of the ProgressPlay turnkey casino offer – the operator is usually far more involved. In most cases, ProgressPlay is responsible for every game and betting option on the whole site, plus all the promotions. That isn’t the case here. National Lottery is a demonstration of the flexibility of the ProgressPlay Limited white-label model.

Whether making casinos for other people or making them for itself, ProgressPlay Limited has been around since 2012. The national-lottery.com site went live in 2014, which tells you how quickly the operator branched out into making white-label casinos. It also tells you how quickly ProgressPlay Limited obtained a UK Gambling Commission licence. Casino operators usually have to wait a few years before they’ll be considered by the UKGC, but ProgressPlay had already turned heads with the size and quality of its operation since obtaining a Malta Gaming Authority licence in the year of its launch and managed to speed things up a bit. More licences followed, so you’ll now find ProgressPlay Limited casinos in almost every licenced iGaming territory in the world.

National Lottery review

National Lottery Sister Sites Welcome Bonuses

We should make clear that this review relates only to the aspect of national-lottery.com that ProgressPlay Limited is involved in, which is the content under the “lottery games” tab. The lottery side of the site is nothing to do with ProgressPlay. If you want to play casino games here, though, you can claim a 100% matched deposit welcome promotion of anything between £10 and £200 when you register. Wagering requirements aren’t friendly at x50, and max conversion is even less friendly at x3.

Other Promotions

Despite being a ProgressPlay Limited casino in name only, the site has access to the same loyalty rewards programme as all the National Lottery sister sites. Through playing games, depositing regularly and participating in the other, smaller promotions that the casino offers, players at National Lottery accrue reward points. These points can be exchanged in the “rewards store” for perks that can be used in the casino. Options available include matched deposits of differing values, allocations of free spins, exclusive games and tournaments, and more.

Top Games at National Lottery

The unusual layout and presentation style of the National Lottery website allows the casino to focus on a few games that you probably won’t see spotlighted on other National Lottery sister sites. One of them is Foxin Wins by NextGen, which feels like it should be an exclusive game at Foxy Bingo but isn’t. Instead, it’s an animal-themed, cartoonish game that invites you to enter Mr Fox’s mansion and try to win cash. Starburst is also prominently featured on the National Lottery casino homepage, although Starburst tends to be prominently featured everywhere. Further down the homepage, you’ll find a cluster of thumbnails of very well-known and popular slots, including the likes of Bonanza and Book of Dead. You can rest assured that most, if not all, of your favourites will be here.

Customer Support and Licensing

Customer support is provided at National Lottery through chat or email, but the chat service isn’t live. You have to type a message and then wait to see how long it takes for someone to pick it up and respond. If you don’t have time for that, email customersupport@instantgamesupport.com. Again, though, you could be waiting a while for a response, as the email address is shared by all the National Lottery sister sites. UK Gambling Commission no. 39335, held by ProgressPlay Limited, covers all gambling operations at national-lottery.com. The operator found itself in hot water with the UKGC in May 2022 after a review identified failings in its handling of customer interaction and anti-money laundering policy, and paid £175K to settle the matter.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

The National Lottery site charges for withdrawals. It’s a small fee – only 1% of transactions up to a maximum of £3 -but it’s still a charge. Despite this, it insists on being given a full business day to process withdrawal requests. If you use a Skrill or Neteller e-wallet, you’ll receive your cash after a further 24-hour wait for funds to be transferred. The fund transfer period increases to three days for ecoPayz e-wallets or 3-7 days for either PayPal e-wallets or debit cards. In all cases, we’re talking about business days.

Final Thoughts on National Lottery

This isn’t really a casino site. It’s a lottery site with a few casino features attached to it. That’s all well and good if you want to take part in lotteries, but if you want to play at a “proper” casino site, you’re more likely to have fun at one of the many National Lottery sister sites – especially the bigger ones like Monster Casino and Winissimo.

National Lottery Sister Sites Player Reviews

Here are the thoughts of your fellow players about National Lottery. The reviews are all real, but we’ve paraphrased them to keep them brief.

There are reviews of national-lottery.com online, but they’ve been written by people who thought they were reviewing the real National Lottery. None of the reviews concern the casino services offered at national-lottery.com by ProgressPlay, so it’s not fair to list them here. If that changes in the future, we’ll add reviews and give you a picture of player feedback about this casino.
