LottoGo Exposed — Beware the Subscription Button
LottoGo Review
Want to bet on lotteries? Check out LottoGo.com. LottoGo is a former WorldLotteryClub.com and has a bunch of lotteries, games, and scratches. Keep in mind this is about betting and not purchasing lottery tickets. The payout is the same as if you had a ticket in any of the official draws including sharing if there is more than one winner. But if you’re a resident of the United States, don’t look to play here. Anyone else, all bets are on!
Games at LottoGo.com
Players can bet on a bunch of lotteries including US Powerball & Mega Millions, EuroMillions & EuroJackpot, UK Lotto, Australia Oz Lotto, Mon-Wed-Sat Aussie Lotto, Aussie Powerball, Finnish Lotto, German 6aus49, Irish Lotto, SuperEnalotto, Polish Lotto and Swedish Lotto. It’s up to you whether you play your favorite ticket lines or choose quick pics. Players can go for a single play, multi-play, or choose a subscription.

Scratch Games at LottoGo
LottoGo.com offers a bunch of scratch games including EuroMillions, Gold Hunter, 33 Chances, Horseshoe, and Raid the Piggy Bank – to mention a few. Players can jump in on one game, 10 games, or 20 games. There is a heap to choose from.
And Other Stuff at LottoGo.com
In addition to betting on lotteries and scratchies, LottoGo has a wide range of other casino games including Keno, Blackjack, Roulette, and Poker. There is a demo option on each of the games, but you first have to register to be able to play.
How to Claim Your Winnings
Winnings under £50,000 are paid directly to your LottoGo account. Anything over £50,000 can take up to 40 days while LottoGo.com sorts payments out with their insurer. There is no information on who the insurance company is. Click on “withdraw” and your winnings should be cleared between 3 to 5 working days. There is a minimum withdrawal of £10. However, you put the funds originally in is the way you get them back.
How to Claim a Mega Jackpot?
Though in general, LottoGo says that all winnings are paid in a lump sum less any taxes that would be applicable (like in the case of the US lotteries), winnings over £10 million are not paid out all at once. The first £10 million is paid “as soon as possible” after the draw with the rest of the money paid over 19 yearly payments paid within 7 days of the date of the first payment.
Who Can Play at LottoGo.com?
The only big restriction on playing at LottoGo.com is Location- no one who is a resident of the United States can play – or you are somewhere where it is illegal to play. Okay – you do have to be 18 years or older and legally able to enter a contract. Lottogo.com is available in six languages – English, Chinese (Zhongguo), German, Finish, Polish and Swedish.
Who Owns LottoGo.com?

Their published business hours are only Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. GMT. There are no phone numbers to contact them. LottoGo is registered with the Jersey Gambling Commission and UK Gambling Commission.
LottoGo.com & Complaints
Most of the comments by players are about the use of the subscription button. It seems a bunch of people didn’t realize it was ticked and ended up with additional charges.

Is LottoGo Legit?
One would have thought with betting; the company would be able to set aside the tax issues that affect lotteries, especially because they don’t have to pay the taxes. It’s also not appealing to think that one may have won the mega jackpot but won’t get all the money right away.
This site looks fairly straightforward though beware of the “subscription” button and what you agree to pay.

I brought a set of tickets for a big draw for £6 in Aug (it’s now Dec). Had no idea it was a subscription. I haven’t been able to use my log in with them since, and emailed them (no phone number) in August the same day asking that they cancel everything. Have just spotted they’ve been taking £18 out of my account each week. It’s a credit card that I’ve not been using much as I’m trying to pay it off. I checked the balance today and realised they’ve been taking those payments, a total of £280! Surely it should be made clear if you’re signing up a subscription? That sort of thing shouldn’t be hidden in the fine print, plus I brought tickets for £6, they took £14 for that payment and have been taking £18 weekly since. I’ve contacted my card company and they are doing an investigation. I feel so stupid that this has happened. Seeing all these reviews it’s giving me some hope that I will get my money back.

Completed scam is the way they operate. I rarely bet. I thought to give a try for megamillions due to the high jackpot and their add was offering to bets at the price of 0.98 with subscription. Now the amount that was said to be paid on the website was 0.98 GBP. Apparently there were hidden charges totalling 12 pound which I only found today after checking my bank account. I have been doing on line purchases for the past 10 year. This is the first time I come across something like this. Steer away!!

Steer clear. Took an extra £12 and then told me I didn’t uncheck a box. Total scam.

I thought this company were legit, twice now I have won on scratch cards, at ten pounds each, and winning bets of several pounds and eighteen pounds not credited to my account.
Cancelled subscription there, have not received a reply.
