Leading online lotto company offers a chance to win a million with new Lotto game

World leading online lotto operator, Lottoland, has launched a new game based on the legendary game show, Deal or No Deal, which ran for 11 years in the UK and was hosted by Noel Edmonds.

With the new “Deal or No Deal Lotto”, players choose six numbers from 1 to 49 and look to match as many of these as possible via Lottoland’s Instant Win draw. If they match any numbers, they get the chance to “Beat the Banker” in a fun and fast, red box game, just like the show, where they could multiply their win or win just a penny!

Lottoland CEO Nigel Birrell said: “We are incredibly excited to be bringing this game to the market – “Deal or No Deal” was an iconic gameshow presented by the legendary Noel Edmonds and we are thrilled to be able to offer this as our latest TV-branded lotto game.

“We are hoping to build on Noel’s winning streak when it comes to TV shows – with hits including  Telly Addicts, Noel’s House Party and The Late, Late Breakfast Show in his career, he’s got a great track record for picking winning formats, having also also done brief stints with Top of The Pops, Top Gear and quite recently the huge ITV show,  I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

“We are always trying to find new ways to innovate in the sector and bring more choice to our customers – we plan to have a lot of fun with this lotto game and look forward to seeing how our customers get on when trying to ‘Beat the Banker’ themselves.”

With a strong track record of innovation, Lottoland’s new Deal or No Deal Lotto is the latest in a string of new games that the company has brought to market. Last year, it launched a £20m scratchcard, providing the largest lump-sum prize available through a single scratchcard.

Prior to this, the company achieved a Guinness World Records title for the Largest Online Gambling Payout, when a lucky winner from Germany scooped the EuroJackpot top prize of €90 million (£79m) at Lottoland.

Launched in 2013, Lottoland has grown rapidly to become a world leader in online lotto. It allows people to bet on the outcome of lotteries from around the world – it has a range of jackpots on offer at any one time so that people can pick and choose how they want to bet.

1/ST CONTENT and Italy’s MASAF form new partnership ahead of the Breeders’ Cup

Distribution deal sees leading racing provider for the Americas extend its scope into Italy’s local pool betting via governing body for horse racing

1/ST CONTENT, the pre-eminent provider of premium North and South American horse racing content and a key division of 1/ST, has continued to grow its international footprint in a new partnership with the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry (MASAF) in the run-up to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, one of the true highlights on the global racing calendar.

The deal now opens a breakthrough gateway for local pool betting on North American, South American and Turkish racing in Italy – and was soft-launched over last month’s 100th edition of the Hambletonian at The Meadowlands, NJ. This milestone renewal, the pinnacle of harness racing and a format of the sport which is particularly popular with Italian racing fans, fostered immediate fan engagement, as reported by MASAF this month via https://www.grandeippicaitaliana.it/.

The agreement kicks off with the 2025 flagship finale at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships in Del Mar (31 October – 1 November) and brings many of the premier stateside races to Italy, including the Pegasus World Cup (24 January) and the Triple Crown contests of Preakness 151 (16 May) and the Belmont Stakes (6 June). In the aggregate, 1/ST CONTENT’s extensive content portfolio maps approximately 90% of all North American racetracks, alongside South American and Turkish venues, neatly complementing Italy’s domestic sporting action with a reliable source of fast-settling betting content between 18:00 and 05:00 CET.

Italian and North American horse racing currently enjoy a strong reciprocal bond, thanks to three of Italy’s leading jockeys in Frankie Dettori, Umberto Rispoli and Antonio Fresu plying their trade in North America. These three Italian ambassadors were recently introduced to a mainstream global audience via Netflix’s acclaimed Race For The Crown.

1/ST CONTENT’s worldwide experience and customer base for pools betting features the Americas, Morocco, Italy, Singapore, Australia, Turkey, Sweden, France, New Zealand and Hong Kong. As a result, by leveraging 1/ST CONTENT’s unparalleled expertise in capturing and streaming elite live-racing events, bettors across Italy can now enjoy a best-in-breed international racing experience.

Key features of the deal include but are not limited to:

  1. Comprehensive Coverage: exclusive signals of all racetracks in the United States, Canada, South America and Turkey, ensuring an extensive and diverse range of racing content for Italian audiences.
  2. Cutting-Edge Technology: high-quality, immersive broadcasts, providing viewers with an unparalleled access to live racing and informative content that both engages the seasoned viewer and educates those unfamiliar with the sport.
  3. Enhanced Viewer Engagement: accompanying innovative marketing strategies, promotions, and engagement initiatives, enhancing the overall viewer experience and speaking to a dedicated racing community in Italy

Simon Fraser, Senior Vice President International at 1/ST CONTENT, said: “We’re thrilled to be working as a partner with MASAF on a program to rejuvenate their horse racing audience and breathe new life into the Italian industry. Our collaboration marks a cornerstone from which we can build together to ensure that racing is competitive with other betting options and further expands 1/ST’s global reach.”

Remo Chiodi, Director General for Horse Racing at MASAF, added“This partnership is part of a broader framework aimed at strengthening relations between Italy and the United States in the horseracing sector: it is a path that consolidates ties between the two countries, enhances both our national excellence and international achievements, and opens up new opportunities for growth and exchange. It is a step that also involves breeding and training, while highlighting the image of Italian racing excellence in the United States, represented by our most renowned jockeys competing overseas.

“Thanks to this agreement, major American racing events will be broadcast free-to-air on EQU TV, expanding the television offering and allowing betting on the races within a fully integrated system. After years of challenges, Italian racing is redefining the entire sector to restore our sport to a position of strength, both at home and abroad.”

In partnership with globally renowned online gambling operator bet365, leading B2B games provider Incentive Games has developed a new game ahead of the upcoming European football season.

Launching ahead of Matchday One on 16th September, Tournament Challenge is the latest addition to bet365’s popular portfolio of free-to-play titles, crafted by the team at Incentive Games. Designed to be accessible and competitive, the game captures the thrill of tournament football and keeps fans coming back throughout the league.

The Tournament Challenge puts players right at the heart of the action. Before each match, fans must predict the outcome (win, lose or draw) of selected matches and users can edit their predictions at any time for matches that haven’t yet kicked off.

Each correct pick earns players points based on a 10-point stake multiplied by the odds of the selected outcome. For example, if the odds are 2.50 on the customer’s pick, they will receive 25 points. If the odds are 2.90 they will receive 29 points. Or if they are 3.70 they will receive 37 points etc.

The more games users get right, the higher they climb on the weekly matchday leader board and the overall season long leader board. There are prizes for ten individual game weeks with players competing for a matchday jackpot of £20,000 and a massive £50,000 overall grand prize.

John Gordon, CEO at Incentive Games said, “Tournament football always delivers unforgettable moments, and we wanted to create a game that captures that same energy. We’re proud to be working alongside the brilliant bet365 team again to make that happen. Tournament Challenge is designed to give football fans a new way to test their knowledge and feel even closer to the action, with simple, intuitive gameplay that makes every match even more exciting.”

The launch of Tournament Challenge marks another step forward in the partnership between Incentive Games and bet365, showcasing how data-driven design and tailored gameplay can bring fans closer to the sport they love.

A bet365 spokesperson said: “With the return of the biggest and best matches in European club football, we’re delighted to provide our customers with an innovative free-to-play predictor game.

“Thank you to the team at Incentive Games for providing a product that proves again, whatever the moment, it’s Never Ordinary with bet365.”

The Tournament Challenge is available for players across key global territories, amassing nearly 100 countries able to take part worldwide.

  • Only available to new and eligible bet365 customers.
  • Customers must be aged over 18 and verified by bet365.
  • Only one entry is permitted per person.
  • Entries close at kick-off of the last scheduled tournament game on May 30th 2026.
