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. LottoGo defaults to automatically play 2 lines though you can delete the second one and simply play one line.

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 refer to my earlier comment dated where I have said “I shall update if anything positive happens”. Yes, something positive has indeed happened today. I received one payment of the 2 withdrawals today. This is a good sign though it had taken a considerable time.

I too have had the experience of the “subscription” button. Thank God; my Bank did not authorise the withdrawals. After multiple attempts, Lottogo informed me that I was banned from subscribing.
Apart from the above, I have difficulties in withdrawing funds from my winnings. I made 2 requests for withdrawal last month, one on the 19th and the second on the 24th. I have not received the funds into my Bank account till date (12th Feb’ 19).
I followed up by chatting with live agents and I was told in the beginning that it would take up to 5 working days to process the payments to me. After a few chats, I was asked to send my ID proof and address proof and photocopy of the card used for depositing funds (covering a few digits of the number and CVV) to Lottogo compliance. This happened on 31st of last month. I submitted the required documents immediately and the compliance responded on the same day saying my identification documentation have been verified and the accounts team are currently procesing my withdrawal.
I did not just wait. I followed up with another chat with the live agent and I was told that It would take up to 5 working days from the date of submission of the documents to release the funds. Nothing has happened even after following up with another live chat on 11th Feb’ 19.
This is the situation of my withdrawals. I shall update if anything positive happens.

Hi there I’m having the same issue. I made a withdraw request 1st Feb 2019. Was told by compliance team they need. Credit card I make deposits on front and back, bank statement, passport, driving licence, now they want to know where I get my wealth? I have to prove my income to them? I don’t get an income. How can I prove my wealth?? Is this normal considering I’ve given them every bit of info that I have?
Also they never reply to emails. I’m constantly having to chase them up?
Dreadful site will not be depositing ever again. And I’m still waiting for my winnings!!!

I now update my experience in withdrawal. I requested Lottogo to send my withdrawal via my Visa card. It was pending for a long time. It may be a lapse on my bank. Later Lottogo transferred it to my Skrill account. I appreciate the help of the live agents in chat except for one of them. I think this site is a genuine one and NOT a scam.

A CON!
It’s not at all clear and you are made to sign up to a subscription and then they start taking out unauthorised funds from your account. I emailed them regarding this and they cancelled the subscription and the following day took out more money.
TERRIBLE STAY CLEAR!!

Only after registration, require a copy of a passport or driving license, as for me this company is cheating people, the police should take this hare, avoid from afar

I found it via Groupon so thought Lottogo was legit. It appears to be connected to the UK national game, but of course isn’t even remotely.
The site does not make clear that the subscription is continuous – I don’t think there is any notice of that until after you have signed up.
The email telling you how to unsubscribe is total garbage – nothing on the website matches the instructions.
Then it tells you that you have won £10 – try getting it, the message says sorry there’s a hitch.
Complete well organised scam. Ignore the stooges on the site telling you that you need to do this or that.
I had to get my bank to cancel my debit card to stop money going out.
