What is a syndicate?

A lottery syndicate is a group of players that decide to pool their chances of winning. The syndicate buys a number of tickets and divide the prizes among the members. Playing as part of a syndicate significantly increases your chance of winning. In fact, it is the only legitimate way of increasing your odds of a jackpot prize.

Why should I join Super Syndicate?

Super Syndicate allows you to join a large syndicate that increases your chances of a big win. We take care of purchasing the tickets every week and will notify you if your syndicate wins.

We collect money automatically and our syndicates are limited to 1000 members so that the prize pool is not distributed across too many members.

Finally, we are the only syndicate group that plays the Euromillions lottery, Scoop6 and football pools giving you unique access to all the biggest jackpots available in the UK.

Are you related to Camelot Group, the Nat. Lottery, the Football Pools or a Bookmaker?

Super Syndicate is a completely independent company set up solely to run our syndicates. We are not linked to any gambling or lottery organisation.

All tickets purchased by Super Syndicate are done so via official ticket suppliers under the standard Retailer Agreement or purchased using the official website. Super Syndicate is not affiliated with Camelot Group or any other group/company.

All Scoop6 bets are placed online via a number of officially licensed bookmakers, in order to obtain the best odds available, although we cannot guarantee we will obtain the best odds every time.

Back to top

What do I do if my card payment was declined?

We will send you an e-mail notification if we fail to take payment from your card. If your card payment is declined, it may mean that it has expired or you do not have enough funds in your bank account.

Back to top

How many members can join a syndicate?

In order that any prize fund is not split too much, there is a limit of the number of members in each syndicate. The limit is 1000 members in each syndicate. Players can maintain their membership by paying their direct debit each week. If a player misses 3 payments in a row then they may forfeit their membership to a player on our waiting list.

Back to top

Can I trade/sell my membership?

Yes, you can trade sell your membership but only through the website. If the syndicate membership is full or close to full and the Syndicate is very successful, then people may be prepared to pay a premium to become a member. There is one membership per one weekly payment.

If you wish to try and sell your membership, please email our support team and your membership will be listed on the website for 21 days. During these 21 days you must continue to make your weekly payments. You may set a Fixed Price or ask for Offers above a set amount. The offers will be sent to Supersyndicate administrators. If you receive an offer equal or above your price limit, then you are obliged to sell your membership. Super Syndicate charges a fixed 10 percent administration fee for processing your sale, which is deducted from the sale amount. If you do not receive an offer, you may continue with your membership or cancel your payment and your membership will go into the available membership pool.

Back to top

Can I leave one syndicate and continue to play in another?

Yes, you can leave any syndicate when you like, although if you cancel your subscription you will need to rejoin the syndicate you wish to continue to play. You must inform Super Syndicate by e-mail if you intend to leave one syndicate and join another in advance of cancelling your subscriptions. If a member cancels their subscription, then any prize winnings associated with that account are cancelled along with the account information.

How do I change the tickets my syndicate is playing?

Super Syndicate manages all the tickets for both the EuroMillions and the Scoop6 syndicates, so you do not need to go out and purchase tickets or be concerned over duplicate tickets being bought.

Back to top

Do I have to buy tickets every week?

Not anymore! Super Syndicate takes care of buying the tickets each and every week on behalf of its Syndicate members, so you do not have the worry of missing a draw! Super Syndicate is a subscription service so we will debit your account each week to play. We only take payment for one week in advance.

Back to top

How do syndicate members pay for tickets?

Super Syndicate works via a subscription service so the correct amount is debited from members accounts each week, which then go towards the cost of the shared tickets for the syndicate.

Back to top

How many tickets will each syndicate play?

The number of tickets played in each syndicate depends on the number of subscribing members each week. The subscriptions are calculated each week before the tickets are purchased to ensure everyone who has paid a subscription is included. Super syndicate has a number of administration costs to cover. The number of tickets purchased to members is on a one to ten ratio for all syndicates. Tickets are usually purchased the day before the draw, races or matches depending on the syndicate.

Back to top

How can I be sure that the tickets are bought every week?

Super Syndicate purchases the tickets for your syndicate. A copy of every ticket purchased is stored on the syndicates behalf, and all members can request these details.

Every ticket is also logged with the time and date the sale was made, the ticket identification number and all other security and verification details. This information is available for all participating members.

Back to top

What if I want to play more tickets as a syndicate member?

You are not limited to only one share of each syndicate. You may play as many times as you wish to improve your chances and have a bigger share of the prize fund.

If you wish to join more than one, just go through the payment process and create as many subscriptions as you wish to play. Please remember that this is a weekly cost.

Back to top

How can I see all the tickets my syndicate has played?

Super Syndicate does not list all the tickets played in each draw for both security reasons and for the safety of our members. This is to ensure that any unique numbers are kept confidential as well as securing unique permutations to prevent others playing the same and taking a share of the jackpot. The number of tickets played and any reference numbers can be provided to syndicate members on demand.

Back to top

How can I see all the selections my syndicate is playing this week?

Super Syndicate does not list the selections made for the weekly draws. This is to ensure our selections are kept unique and therefore cannot be copied or used by other individuals/syndicates. If other syndictes were to copy our selections, then there would be more winning tickets in circulation, reducing the potential winnings. This would affect our ability to collect large jackpots or winnings, which are shared amongst our membership.

EuroMillions is a pooled lottery so the jackpot and winnings is made up from a pool of money created from all the entrants. If the jackpot is not won, it is rolled over to the next draw.

The team at Super Syndicate purchase the Euromillions tickets using the lucky dip system. This creates some truely random selections and is the best way to avoid duplicate numbers being chosen. The majority of winners tend to win with random chosen numbers because humans, when selecting numbers by choice, tend to pick numbers in patterns, whereas the draw is done by a machine which selects completely random numbers.

The amount you win, rather like the lottery, is dependent on the size of the pool divided by the amount of winning tickets.

Due to data protection and privacy, we are unable to publise individual syndicate weekly winnings on our website. We are able to highlight which syndicates have won prize money that week.

The members of each syndicate will receive an email if they are part of a winning syndicate and this will contain a full breakdown of the prizes won for each syndicate that week. This ensures the confidentiality of prize money awarded to all our members is maintained.

How are prizes distributed to syndicate members?

Prizes are divided and distributed based on each syndicate member's share of the prize pool.

For example, if you play one subscription per week, you will receive one share of the prize pool for that week. If you pay two subscriptions per week then you will receive two shares of the prize pool that week and so on. The prize is split equally between all the members of that syndicate. If you play in more than one syndicates, then you will receive a share from each of the prize pools if they both win.

Prizes are usually paid back into the same account that your subscription is taken from, although we can also pay out via bank transfer.
