Description Littlewoods Gaming under the name Littlewoods Promotions Limited operates within the confines of the UK Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 (as amended) and the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976 (as amended). It holds a bookmaker’s permit and is a licensed lottery operator with the Gaming Board. Littlewoods Gaming is wholly owned by Sportech plc. Sportech is developing the Littlewoods gaming and leisure business, utilising new channels of distribution to bring more games to more players in the home, capitalising on the strength of the Littlewoods brand, namely its association with the values of trust and integrity.New visitors to the site may find the layout dull, with links un-necessarily repeated on both the top bar and along the side - this may cause some confusion. The news flash at the top of the site changes so quickly that customers may find it difficult to catch the entire snippet first time round. Betslips are also cluttered and may discourage first-time users.The site does provide a column with the next and latest events which may prove useful. In regards to help menus, the site is severely lacking. For customers who have frequented the site before and certainly other bookmakers’ site, it may be self-explanatory, but for those who are new to the ways of online gambling this may be a downfall. A lot of the links (especially those within the help menus) are broken and many point to other websites. The help menus that are fully working are very general, with customers who need a more detailed explanation forced either to email the helpdesk or, indeed, to ring customer services.
