iLotto Exposed — There’s Always a Catch!

Ilotto.com

iLotto Review

Ever wonder why a company runs a free sweepstakes/lottery? I was looking at ilotto.com the other day and it took a while to wander through their site to get a handle on it. Ilotto.com is a daily lottery with a bigger draw once a week. At first glance it is free, but as I dug deeper, I realized that this was not the case. Let me explain.

iLotto.com’s Game

Ilotto.com offers a daily and weekly lottery. Both are simple in a format with players choosing six numbers or opting for the quick pick. In the daily lottery, players win points and consumer goods like iPhones, MacBooks, and iPads. Points are converted to quick pick lottery tickets for their weekly draw. The weekly draw has a jackpot of USD 1 million (6 of 6 numbers correct), 50” LCD TV (5 of 6) and iLotto T-shirt (4 of 6). There are no other prizes.

Premier versus Regular Play

Signing up to play ilotto.com is free. It’s not until you get into the small print that you find out you have to log on daily to enter for each draw. You also have to manually convert any points you’ve won to the weekly draw. They offer a Premier Membership for USD 19.99 (£9.99 for players in the UK) which automatically enters players into all draws for the month and converts any points won into tickets for the weekly draw.

Who Can Play at ilotto.com

Americans (not Florida, New York, Guam Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and US territories), Canada (not Quebec) and UK residents can all play ilotto.com. Ilotto.com employees and affiliates can also not play. Member accounts are limited to one per person, family, household address, email address, telephone number and shared computer. Okay – what gives?

The iLotto Catch

Combining the fact that play is limited to Americans, Canadians and UK residents and per family or household, it’s easy to figure that these guys are collecting email and house addresses to send spam and other advertising. They do add an interesting twist to get people to buy the Premier Membership, but that means you are paying them to receive spam and other stuff.

Complaints at ilotto.com

I was surprised that there wasn’t a heap of complaints given what this lottery does. Then again, maybe that simply means there aren’t a lot of people that have gone for this sweepstakes. I personally found it amusing that they don’t list a heap of winners especially as part of your agreeing to play allows them to use your name.

iLotto Customer Service

Don’t try and get an immediate response if you do have questions. The only way to get in touch with these folks is through an auto-link to your email. There is no online form, live chat, phone number though they do provide a snail mail address. UK residents can actually send their entry to the sweepstakes by snail mail.

Who are They?

These guys look like they are based in the UK and I think they are marketers. There is no ‘about us’ page and no real information on them anywhere.

Would you mind rating iLotto.com?

The Bottom Line at iLotto

We don’t know who they really are but you’re going to share your personal details with them – not! It’s in the registration process that they say “tell us where to send your prizes”. That means your home address & telephone number, and birth date.

Pros:

It’s Free – Well Sorta

Cons:

Premium Membership

Advertising

Spam

If you have the patience to probably put up with a heap of spam and click on every day to enter the daily lottery then you definitely need to get a life. If you pay for the monthly Premier Membership, then good luck to you. I think I’ll stick to playing lotteries like US Powerball and go for the real money.

This Lottery Agent Is Closed

  1. I also was playing ilottocom on time suddenly I couldn’t get in touch with them and haven’t been able to contact them in nearly a year. I wonder if they have a system set up where they know it’s my email and since I don’t pay for the service I am not able to play anymore. I also wonder if the game is still legal in the United States.

  2. There is no such thing as a free lottery – some how or other you end up paying whether it is dealing with the spam mail, advertising or you get scammed. I think you get what you pay for and there is no way I’d share my personal details with these folks. Get real! The only way to stop these kinds of games is NOT TO PLAY.

  3. nick a great blog thank you . I got a promo and paid for the shipping. Next thing I know I’ve been signed up for i lotto and roadside assurance. This happend in July. Don’t bother with them they won’t help at all. Call your card company cancel your card start fraud process. Also with your state attorney General. I lost over 200$.

  4. Is the ilotto.com website permanently not accepting entries? It’s been unresponsive for me since 2015-7-27 [July 27, 2015]! The winning numbers listed are updated and current, but I’m unable to select daily numbers. I’m unsure when I signed up for the ilotto.com website, but it seems this is their way of forcing me to cough up my credit card information for their advertised auto-picks. Screw this rubbish!! I would advise anyone else (who wishes to pick numbers for free) to bypass this site as well. R.I.P. ilotto.com!!!
