United States accepted What is online lotto betting?
Online lotto betting is a new form of gambling that allows players to bet on the outcome of lottery draws instead of taking part in the actual draws themselves. The same jackpot prizes are up for grabs and you still pick winning numbers just like you would when buying a standard lottery ticket, but the betting is conducted through a separate independent company, in this case, Lottoland. For example, if you were to bet on the Australian Saturday Lotto draw and won, Lottoland will make the payout to you instead of the lottery operator.
Why bet with Lottoland?
If the prizes are the same and the format is the same, what’s the point of playing with Lottoland? Why don’t we just buy traditional lottery tickets? Well for starters, everything is done online, which is a much more convenient option than running out to your local newsagency or lottery retailer. Also, Lottoland is run independently, so the company is free to offer players all kinds of promotional offers and bonuses that traditional lottery operators don’t. Best of all, betting with Lottoland gives you access to global lottery draws, so you can participate in lotto games you wouldn’t normally have access to, like US Powerball, EuroMillions, MegaMillions and so much more.
How to use Lottoland
Using Lottoland requires nothing more than access to a reliable Internet connection using a computer, smartphone or tablet, and access to one of Lottoland’s accepted payment methods (discussed in further detail below). Once you’ve got these factors covered, placing bets at Lottoland is as easy as the following steps:
- Register for an account within minutes using the sign-up links in the top right-hand corner of the Lottoland homepage
- Log in and select from the various lottery draws available
- Click inside the ticket grids to choose your lucky numbers, or select the ‘Quick+1’ button for a quickie game where the computer will automatically pick numbers on your behalf
- Press the ‘Submit’ button whenever you’re ready to place your bet
- Head to the checkout page to enter your payment details and complete your transaction.
If your bet is a winner, you will automatically receive an email from Lottoland informing that you’ve won a prize, or you can check the results online shortly after the official lottery draw has taken place. As everything is logged digitally on Lottoland, you eliminate the risk of ever misplacing a winning ticket.
