Single-site syndicated buying is the mainstream form
Beijing Caihe Research Institute has observed thousands of sites since October 2018 and found that there are diversified forms of syndicated buying.
From the perspective of the initiators, there are currently three main forms of syndicated buying. One is single-site syndicated buying, which is initiated by the owner and organizes lottery buyers to buy together, accounting for 71.2%; the other is the joint buying of multiple betting stations. Buying, jointly betting with multiple betting stations, accounting for 13.8%; in addition, there are also joint buying initiated by lottery buyers themselves. This type of joint buying has a small amount of funds, and most of them are participated by acquaintances, accounting for 15%.
The proportion of jackpots won through joint buying is gradually increasing.
Joint buying mainly occurs in national joint sales games such as Double Color Ball, Lotto , Football Lottery , etc., with compound joint buying being the main type. Take the double-color ball as an example. According to incomplete statistics, as of March 26, 2019, there have been more than 40 first-class double-color ball bets won by lottery players across the country, accounting for 2.1% of the national double-color ball first-class prizes, covering 18 provinces and cities across the country.
The joint purchase contributes about 10% of the site's sales.
Through investigation, it was found that the lottery players purchased through the joint purchase are mainly two-color ball, lottery, football lottery and other games. Take Shuangseqiu as an example. Among the investigated sites that often organize joint buying, the site’s sales of Shuangseqiu through joint buying account for 10% of the total sales of Shuangseqiu. That is, joint buying is an effective way for sites to increase sales, and lottery players who participate in joint buying Most lottery purchases are made through WeChat channels, which can very well reduce or eliminate the occurrence of lottery selling on credit.
There are certain legal risks involved in participating in syndicated buying.
Practice has proved that "joint buying" not only makes up for the shortcomings of insufficient personal betting funds, but also reduces the cost of a single person's investment. At the same time, it can also increase the probability of winning, but there are also certain risks. .
experts remind that the initiators of joint purchases should pay attention to clarify the legal relationship during the specific implementation process. Each shareholder must sign a written contract and clearly inform the joint purchase issue number, joint purchase number, and joint purchase method to avoid legal dispute.
Although the website owner and lottery players trust each other, it cannot replace the syndicate agreement. When initiating a lottery syndicate, you must first avoid legal risks and be well-founded.
General betting stations will prepare a lottery purchase agreement for lottery buyers who come to the physical store to participate in joint purchases. As long as both parties reach it voluntarily, the signature will be legally binding.
For most people who participate in co-buying through WeChat, the content and pictures of the WeChat chat can be used as evidence. Participants in the co-buying must confirm with the website owner after transferring money on WeChat and keep the transfer record. After the tickets are issued by the betting station, participants should save the screenshots of the lottery pictures to avoid disputes over lottery purchases.
