49’s Ltd
Who we are 01
49’s Ltd is the betting industry organisation responsible for supplying Fixed Odds
‘Numbers’ Betting events to over 9,000 Licensed Betting Shops (LBO’s) in the
UK and Ireland.
The organisation was formed in 1996 as a direct response to the launch of the
UK National Lottery which started the previous year. The betting industry analysed
the new phenomenon of mass fascination with ‘numbers’ based betting and a
strategic decision was made to introduce new products and services which
opened up a new betting market for the industry. Current products offered by
49’s Ltd are 49’s, Rapido, Irish Lotto Bet, Virtual Horse Racing and Virtual Greyhound
Racing.
49’s Ltd is funded by LBO’s who subscribe to SIS (Satellite Information Systems)
which broadcasts the daily racing programme into their shops. As a result all
marketing materials must be relevant to the whole industry.
A short chronology of 49’s Ltd can be found in Appendix I.

49’s: our product 03
What is it?
49’s is a draw that takes place twice daily (lunchtime
at 12:49 and teatime) on SIS. Six balls plus a ‘Booster’
Ball are drawn from balls marked 1-49.
Terminology
A common mistake is to confuse 49’s Ltd (the company)
and 49’s (the product). The product should NOT be
described as 49’ers.
How much can I win?
Numbers selected 6 number draw 7 number draw

and matched (including Booster Ball)
1 £7 £6
2 £54 £39
3 £601 £330
4 £7,200 £3,800
5 £125,000 £40,000
Above returns are for a £1 stake and are inclusive of this stake. The shaded area indicates the extent to which the payouts on 49’s can be promoted nationally. This is because
returns on the four and five number bets exceed the payout levels of some bookmakers.

How we look: at a glance 05
The elements below (logotype, strapline, colour and typography) make up the 49’s brand identity. When used
together, these design elements create a strong and impactful personality. Our brand identity has been created
from specially drawn letterforms and must endorse each item of communication. The logotype and the strapline
must always be reproduced from the master artwork and must never be redrawn or modified. Inconsistent use
of the logotype will lessen the impact and recognition of the 49’s product. The Booster logo only tends to be
used with on-screen presentations and on betting slips. If you wish to use this logo in any other capacity please
contact 49's Ltd (see Appendix 2).

Irish Lotto Bet

Irish Lotto Bet: our product 11
What is it?
The Irish Lotto Bet is based on the outcome of the Irish National Lotto which is drawn in Ireland every Wednesday
and Saturday and shown on RTE. There are three draws each evening, a Main, 2nd and 3rd draw. Six Balls plus
a ‘Bonus’ Ball are drawn from balls marked 1-42. The draw is not broadcast on SIS but results are available from
a number of sources (see ‘Useful contact details’ in Appendix 2). As it would not be appropriate to call the product
‘The Irish Lotto Bet’ in Ireland, it is known as ‘Lucky Numbers’ in both Northern and Southern Ireland.
Terminology
It should not be called ‘Irish Lotto’ but always ‘Irish Lotto Bet’. This differentiates it from the Irish Lotto Draw. Irish
Lotto Bet was known as the Irish Lottery Bet until July 2002. The abbreviation ILB is occasionally used when
the product is described more than once in certain marketing material e.g. staff communications.

Above returns are for a £1 stake and are inclusive of this stake. The shaded area indicates the extent to which the payouts on the Irish Lotto Bet can be promoted nationally. This
is because returns on the four and five number bets exceed the payout levels of some bookmakers.

Target audience
National Lottery players, non-regular betting shop customers, bias towards the older customer – 53% are over
55. The product has the highest proportion of female customers of all the 49’s brands (22%)*.

accessible to those who aren’t regular betting shop customers.

their chance of winning. The races are broadcast daily on SIS in real
time and with live commentary. There are 3 Virtual Horse Racing
tracks – Portman Park (flat) and Steepledowns (hurdles) which are
broadcast on alternate days and Sprint Valley broadcast everyday.
There are also two Virtual Greyhound Racing tracks Millersfield and
Brushwood (hurdles) – also broadcast on alternate days.
Betting
The runners are printed in the Betting Shop Display Sheet version
of the Racing Post which is displayed in betting shops and customers
can bet on each race as they do on real horse racing or real greyhound
racing.

shortened to VHR and VGR respectively in certain marketing material
