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?
This site is operated by a company out of the Isle of Man, with a snail mail and email address. There is also an online form. 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 have been playing this site for about 6 months. Never had any problems with them taking money without authority. Winnings always paid out in full within 5 days. So far I have won on at least 30 occasions > Excellent site /

I signed up to do 2 Euro tickets a week at £7.00 which would have been £28.00 a month and found them taking £28.00 a week from my account £120.00 a month winnings requested still not received a scam in my opinion

LottoGo are a scam site run by fraudsters.
I requested my account and closed and was advised it had been closed and no further deposits or bets would be taken.
Several weeks later because I play many sites I clicked on a bookmark I forgot to remove of them and without prompt for username or password was immediately logged straight in.
I made a few deposits before recognising some games and checked my emails and sure enough found my account should have been closed.
I contacted them requesting a refund and my account closed and they stated I requested my account be reopened (A flat out lie)
When I asked for evidence of this they swapped that lie for a ridiculous response that I reopened my account by being automatically logged in by their system!
How can my account have been closed if I could still log in in the first instance?
This was just proof of how criminal this company is and they also rushed through the payments.
I hope to claim a chargeback based on this fraud but I doubt I will have any luck so just ensuring people are warned about this dishonest site run by crooks.
If u have been scammed by this company then u need to take it further and seek legal advice, I have and I have been assured that I will get my money back and more, can’t give anymore details on here but I can assure u that it’s definitely worth doing, no matter what they tell u, what they r doing is wrong. If they gave me all of the money back that they STOLE from me I would of just left it as it’s more effort to do what I’m doing now but I’ve been god it will b worth it so I urge u to do the same

I subscribed to 2 lines per week for the Euro Lottery at £2.50 per line.
I thought that it would be a good idea to make it a weekly event.
The next time that I looked at my bank statement on line, I found that they’d taken the first £5 – as instructed, but then took a further £12 four days later, I complained, they cancelled my subscriptions on the 21st. February, then on the 22nd. They took a further £12. Neither of the £12 removed amounts have been returned – yet.
The system is set up to deceive and it’s clearly dishonest – there have been complaints going back many months, and still there is no action taken.

Hi, Thank you all for sharing experience over here. I just had the same. The money was taken from my account without my consent. I canceled the and closed it all, keep sending emails with complaints but nothing… Is there something that can be done by the law in this case, I have all and I am keeping the emails and correspondence as a proof for this fraud.

Utter scam company. They take funds from bank accounts under the guise that you have subscribed. I didn’t realise for a number of months. My bank said they get people calling in about this company all the time. Steer well clear. They are cheats. No contact number. You cannot login to unsubscribe. They don’t pay out funds from what I can see of other reviews. Don’t know how they are allowed to get away with it.
If you go and view the Trustpilot Reviews, then the experiences of those on there, are the opposite of us on here – ‘What a wonderful Company’ – Really? Or are the reviews from LottoGo employees? I know where my money would be – I’ve written to Trustpilot – we’ll see what happens.
