OneLotto Review
OneLotto (WeLoveLotto.com currently) is an online lottery provider for 15 lotteries from Greece (whoops), Ireland, Spain, the UK, and the USA. Has anyone here ever played Greek Joker? The rest of the games you’ll recognize – yes including US Powerball & Mega Millions, and EuroMillions. Ardua Ventures (UK) Ltd. owns and operates OneLotto.com and has been around since 2008 with its original site Lottery-Millions.co.uk. Okay, let’s take a look.
Games at Onelotto.com
Onelotto.com provides access for players to play 15 lottery games from Europe and the United States. Yes, the big jackpots are there. Some lotteries players can choose one or more ticket lines. Some lotteries players must play a minimum of two ticket lines. You can use your favorite numbers or click on “Lucky Pick.” Chose ten lines and players get a free ticket. This is a site for individual tickets and not syndicates.
OneLotto’s Promotions
Five lucky players won £100 free credit play. The only thing – it seems it has only been drawn once, there is no information on when it will happen again, and there are no rules and regulations on how it can be used. Live Chat did finally confirm that it must be used for further play and cannot be withdrawn but then said ignore this promotion as they don’t have any info on when it will happen again. It started the team wondering what else they say that should be ignored.
More Promotions
The multi-draw play offers discounts on subscriptions with four weeks/5%, eight weeks/10%, twenty-six weeks/15%, and fifty-two weeks/20% off. Deal of the day is about to buy ten tickets and get a free ticket. Okay, we already knew that from the lottery play sites. I guess it does still count as a promotion.
Privilege Club at One Lotto
There are five levels of OneLotto’s Privilege Club: Bronze (5%), Silver (10%) Gold (15%), Platinum (20%), and Diamond (25%) with each point given to each dollar spent. The level is based on a player’s activity starting at Bronze (minimum 51 points). Player levels are updated at the beginning of each month. There are the usual thresholds, but I’m not sure I’d want to know that I am a Platinum member because I’ve spent more than USD 7,500! But then that’s a personal issue. There is also no information on whether the points system is adjusted for playing in Euros or Great Britain Pounds.
One More Thing at OneLotto
The one other issue is the fact that the only way to find out what a ticket line costs as the base price is by logging in. There is an amount shown on each lottery 5.95 in €, £ or $ depending on the lottery game.
Winning that Jackpot
The most important thing to note is that OneLotto charges no commissions on winnings. They do say that they will contact you immediately regarding getting any jackpot win and that OneLotto “may” choose to pay your travel expenses to collect the win in person. OneLotto also says that if they contact you for big wins and you do not respond within 15 days, they will credit the amount directly to your account. I’m not sure what this is versus, but I guess that means any wins are put into your account.
OneLotto.com’s Customer Service
Customer service offers a heap of telephone numbers for places all over the world, including a toll-free number for the UAE. They say that their UK number is available 24/7 though no time frames for the other ones. There is also an email address and live chat. Their snail mail address is in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and they are ‘governed’ by the laws of England and Wales.
The Bottom Line
With all the different discounts and Privilege Club (and lack of info on the actual ticket price), the team tried to figure out what a ticket would cost if purchased for 52 weeks (20% off), with say a Silver Privilege Club discount of 10% and buying ten tickets at a time so a free ticket. We gave up. It was too complicated.
Pros:
No Commissions

Cons:

This site gets a reserved thumbs up. It looks legit, and these guys have been in business since 2008. I think there has got to be an easier way to offer promotions and discounts.

Decent site but the fact they cannot provide the original scanned tickets leaves you as a winner absolutely no claim or proof that the ticket was ever purchased, nor are you the owner of that ticket.
When I asked their support about it they just mentioned their prices are cheaper as they don’t scan the tickets. I told them I spend $200 a month on lotto, and I’m going to leave if they can’t provide a scanned ticket of mine, they said no problem, have a nice day, which leaves me to believe they don’t even buy the tickets at all.
I’m going back to TheLotter, at least they scan the original tickets for you, and they have a winners section which seems more legit.

Fast and reliable service. Good, friendly customer support and issues swiftly resolved. They also provide some quirky services, such as a news blog keeping its customers in touch with the lottery world.
Would recommend and will play again.

Had issue with Credit card information stolen always some extra dollars being shaved with every payment. Finally stopped using this site when my credit card was completely compromised.

I have been with this OneLotto since the beginning of 2015 and their services was great until 2 months ago their website is mostly down and their payment gateway is from China, which is not welcome on my western bank gates and I have asked them many times to change the payment name from China, but they have changed the name but kept the original land which is China plus there is another company sharing them the system which is located in the Virgin Islands or somewhere in an offshore company, and that is making me not sure that I will get any big jackpots! I think those people are using our money to bet for them on lotto worldwide so if any one hits the jackpot then they will get it and they will run away and the real winner has to go through lawyers and pay big money until reach them, but actually most of the lotteries authorities are stating in their terms and conditions that they are not dealing with third parties and they are not giving any license to a third party to buy the tickets on your behalf and under this condition, there is no legal act on this business to collect your winning from him, I believe that if they run a way with your big jackpot and you are wealthy enough to track them over the courts then you will lose for sure because they are offshore companies and have no acts on them. They have done enough studies on law how to get away with the big prizes, which is enough for them to be wealthy for all of their lives.
