LottoLeader Review
Lottoleader.com looks pretty straightforward and offers eleven international lottery games: US Powerball, Mega Millions & New York Lotto, EuroMillions, EuroJackpot & UK Lotto, Canadian 6/49, Spanish La Primitiva, El Gordo & BonoLoto and Italian SuperEnalotto. The lottery players can play single tickets or a group play.
Games at Lottoleader
Playing single games seems fairly straightforward, though there is a minimum purchase of three ticket lines. Lottoleader offers a bunch of discounts for consecutive draw plays with the largest discount on their flat subscription. Digging into the small print in the terms and conditions, this means a minimum of six months. They do say a player can opt-out as long as they give “at least 5 business days prior to the next monthly cycle”. The problem is there is no information on whether players can get out before the whole six months.
Lottoleader’s Group Play
As I have already mentioned, LottoLeader offers not only a single play, but a group plays either. That’s good! The minor issue is their group play is a syndicate of 50 lines with 150 shares. That’s one ratio I’m not comfortable about. Players can opt for more shares but still, I get into syndicates to max tickets (sorry, but it’s my personal opinion).
Bonuses and Discounts at Lottoleader.com
LottoLeader offers a “Happy Hour” promotion, but it’s not clear how it works. Players also get a free ‘participation’ each time they refer a friend. Lottoleader’s VIP bonus system earns players 1 point per dollar/euro spent to earn discounts. These range between 2% (starting at 251 points) up to 9% (over 5,000 points) in their “Platinum” category plus players get 4 free Mega Millions tickets. Ah, but they don’t say if this is a one-off or each time tickets are purchased. So, this information should be clarified.
Winning and Getting Your Money
Lottoleader claims they charge only a handling fee for each ticket purchase, but their TOS clearly says that
“for lottery winnings above the total sum of 10,000€ (Ten Thousands Euros), the client will be charged by the company (LottoLeader) 10% as participation fees. This amount will be directly deducted from your winnings. No additional hidden costs of fees will be charged.”
There is a minimum of €20 for withdrawals and they do deduct any charges incurred to make the transfer.
Lotto Leader and Customer Service
Lottoleader.com is operated by Wiwine Services Ltd. out of the UK with an email (support@lottoleader.com ) & snail mail address, and phone number (+44-20-37697136). Oh, and they have an online form that they say they will try and respond within six hours. Well, it wasn’t six hours, but they did respond fairly quickly.
The Bottomline at Lottoleader.com
We found nothing that indicates that LottoLeader is not a legit website. This lottery service is very young – it operates for only 9 months and it definitely deserves a chance.
Pros:
Single and Group Play
Good Customer Service
Cons:
Fees??
Shares versus Tickets!
Lottoleader.com gets a reserved thumb up. I hope it would offer more lotteries in the near future. If anyone has played here, can you please tell us about their bonuses on pool participation?

As I understood, the company has a different owner now, that is called “Millionaire VIP club”, that works pretty well, I play with them for the last week, and I deposited 500 EUR, and I made 325 EUR, and I asked them for a withdrawing, and they agreed without any questions.

I have also had a similar experience, my card was only good for $500, but on the same day they tried to withdraw $800 and then $600 and finely $380, I notified my bank and they have cancelled my card and referred it to there fraud people. Definitely a SCAM.
Lotto leader tried to take $764.00 (AU) from my husband’s account 30/3/16. Bank rang at 4.10 a.m. to confirm transaction. No authorization. Payment declined, fraud squad investigating. Unfortunately credit card is suspended and hubby has to open a new account – but at least they didn’t get any money.
After further investigation in our offices and internal departmdnts, I am sorry to say Mrs. karen S. You have been scammed but not by lottoleader by your husband who is a big gambler.
We investigated about him and it seems he is blacklisted almost in every online gambling/lottery company since he looses a lot of money and than he claims that he didn’t approved the charges.
Well Mrs. Karen before you blame the company make a thorough investigation in your own house and find out what else your husband is hiding from you.
As for Lottoleader, we have his voice approval on record and a signed document in which he agreed for all the t&c.
This is exactly what happened to me as well, I had few small buys is 2015 and after one year of inactivity, in March 2016 they made unauthorized transactions from my account in total of 4400 EUR. Be really careful with this site and avoid it. If you have ever used your card there, I would advise you to block it ASAP. I hope that someone will be saved from this scam by this message.
Lottleader is definitely a scam.
They had been taking off reasonable amounts from my credit card each month with regular phone calls from different people with a very similar voice. This year they began making multiple withdrawals of over $1200 per month.
Emails to jimmyg@lottoleader.com or to other managers are undelivered.
