Health Lottery

Introduction

Health Lottery used to hold more than just lottery games, but the site underwent a restructure with bingo and casino games moved to Health Games. We have kept the site reviewed here as it does offer something of interest, which is the lottery games. These are actually quite rare in the online gaming sphere, so most players should find them worth at least a cursory look.

It’s worth noting that this site supports all sorts of health causes in the UK, meaning that your losses don’t just turn into profit for the site. On the other hand, the Health Lottery is only meant for UK players as opposed to players worldwide, limiting audiences. The site was established in 2011, and it operates with a UK Gambling Commission license. Besides the online tickets, paper tickets are also available from land-based retailers.

What is health lottery exactly?

This isn’t your usual online gaming site. The Health Lottery consists of twelve regional bodies (previously 51, but they were combined into bigger units) in the UK. It’s not a national lottery body, rather a regional one, with several local lotteries bunched into one operating body. The purpose? To raise funds for local health projects, hence the name.

These societies each take turns participating in the draw, so that the money, or the profits, go to different societies on a rotating basis. They support thousands of different projects from mental health to support projects to dementia and other such health-related issues.

Reach by phone, mail and email

Mailing an online site is a rare sight, but in this case, it is possible. Probably so because this whole enterprise is very much tied to land-based operations as well. On the other hand, there is no live chat for quick resolutions. Email support is also available, and it’s relatively fast to get responses this way.

What really sets the site apart are the countless articles and other informational posts. This isn’t just limited to a FAQ, though one is available for that too. If you want to know what exactly is happening with the company, where the money goes, how the different lottery districts and such are set up, then there’s plenty of stuff to read and get through as you wait for the next lottery draw. The player’s guide is extraordinarily useful when getting started.

A handful of promotions and offers

You probably wouldn’t expect a whole lot in the way of promotions from a lottery site, and compared to the norm there aren’t that many to be found either. But there are some, especially for new depositors.

So what can you get? Free tickets, bonus money, and access to extra jackpots. This is good enough to get you started, and regular players will also get access to more promotions sent directly to their contact methods.

Tip: Though there are several raffles, not all of them come with the same or similar pots. Make sure to check the size of the pot before buying your tickets!

Banking Deposit/Withdrawal

• No more than £500 may be deposited in a single transaction, and the player can have no higher balance than £2000 via deposits.
• Players are limited to £80 worth of tickets for any individual lottery draw.
• All players must register a debit card that is linked to a UK bank account, with a UK address.
• Details can be requested at any point for verification, and the site may impose deposit limits for players at their discretion.

Games

Lottery is the obvious choice at Health Lottery, though there are a handful of other options available too. As said, this is exclusive to UK players, and tickets can be purchased from this site, and from land-based locations.

The lottery runs from Tuesday to Saturday with a draw on each day, with the main prize of £100 000 drawn on Wednesday and Saturday. On other days the main prize is £25 000. The game draws five balls, so the player’s mission is to pick five numbers between 1 and 50 and wait for their numbers to come up. One ticket costs just one pound.

If you want to speed up things you can move on to the Quickdraw, where numbers come up every three minutes. This is more like it for us online players. This online lotto for Health Lottery is from Gamevy and is exclusively available only here. The same £25 000 jackpot can be gained by lining up the right five numbers.

Finally, you have quite a few scratch cards available here. And an easy way to sort them too, by price, prize, odds and jackpots. The most popular include titles like Elite of Evil, Golden Boot, Diamond, £100k Jackpot (supposedly the best odds of winning), Scratch off Ra, and others.

Granted, the above isn’t much. But it also isn’t available anywhere else.

Mobile Overview

Not having online slots, table games, bingo rooms or live casino comes with the added benefit that it doesn’t take much to be mobile compatible. No matter how you turn the screen, you’re going to be able to enjoy this site just the same, without any problems whatsoever.

Loyalty Program

We aren’t aware of any loyalty programs at Health Lottery.

Conclusion

It’s not a bingo or a casino site, and in fact doesn’t try to be either. Unfortunately, this site is only available to UK players. But if you do happen to reside in the said country, it’s definitely a site that is worth checking out. The lottery and scratch cards are unique, and not available anywhere else. And in general, the terms and conditions are pretty good for the handful of offers that are available. It might not become your favourite destination, but will certainly offer something interesting from time to time.
