MyLottoLine Review
Making a decision on which lottery to play at MyLottoLine.com is not difficult. There is no choice. MyLottoLine.com offers players the opportunity to buy into lottery syndicates which is based on 5 lotteries. The only choice a player has is which level of the syndicate to choose. Does it sound pretty straightforward? Let’s go take a deeper look.
Syndicates at MyLottoLine.com
Syndicates are the opportunity to play a variety of lottery tickets and share the costs. Then again, players in the syndicates also share in the winnings. MyLottoLine.com restricts each syndicate to 100 players and the Syndicate Manager (that’s MyLottoLine.com). Their syndicates are offered at three levels: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The only difference between each type of syndicate is the number of tickets and the cost.
My Lotto Line and Lotteries
Each syndicate shares lottery tickets for the UK National Lottery, Pick 5, Thunderball, EuroMillions and Raffle Millionaire. Silver syndicate is £14, the gold syndicate is £28 and platinum syndicate is £39 per month. They do offer a one week trial (no I did not do it) for £3.49 which automatically kicks into the platinum syndicate if you don’t cancel it. Membership in each syndicate automatically renews every 30 days. The chances to win prizes other than the jackpot are more than noted below as UK National Lottery, EuroMillions and Thunderball entries also include an additional ticket.
| Silver Entries | Gold Entries | Platinum Entries | |
| National Lottery | 10 | 15 | 20 |
| Plus 5 | 3 | 5 | 7 |
| Thunderball | 3 | 5 | 7 |
| EuroMillions | 3 | 5 | 7 |
| Raffle Millionaire | 3 | 5 | 7 |
Money, Time and Lotteries
This is when I started getting confused. Their syndicate memberships are monthly but you and I both know that there are 52 weeks in a year, hence 13 four week periods. The actual ticket numbers purchased for each syndicate are presented monthly but even those numbers don’t add up. On top of that, your syndicate membership renewal occurs every 30 days. So what about the other 5 days of the year?
Winning at MyLottoLine.com
In amongst their FAQs, they say that they will deduct local and federal tax ‘where applicable’ from the winnings, but we all know that the lotteries they are offering in their syndicates are tax-free (unless you play in Portugal or Spain for EuroMillions). They also say you cannot withdraw money from your account until it is a minimum of £100. MyLottoLine.com will transfer it automatically at the end of each month via bank account, credit card, or clearing agent. If you’ve won more than £100,000, you will receive a check. In all cases, bank fees of some sort apply.
I Don’t Want To Play Anymore
MyLottoLine.com says that if the monthly membership has started, you can’t stop and must provide 28 days’ notice. Add to this, they say “when canceling your subscription, any prize funds that you have accumulated, will be divided equally to your syndicate members and you will lose any claims for prize funds”. By their words, if I decided to cancel my membership and won anything after that (remember you can’t opt-out for that month once it is paid), I wouldn’t get my winnings even though my account was still active.
Customer Service at MyLottoLine.com
Don’t expect a quick answer at MyLottoLine.com. Even their Freephone number says to leave your user name and email address and they will reply within 24 hours. There are an email and snail mail address (Gibraltar) and we can confirm email responses definitely take 24 hours.
MyLottoLine.com Complaints
I’m still not sure whether there are no complaints because there are no complaints or because of the name, they are buried under so many other sites. Our team spent way too much time looking. We did find comments on the lack of traffic reported on the site which doesn’t look good for ensuring they meet their 100 in each syndicate. They do say they reserve the right to merge syndicates if there are not enough people.
The Bottom Line at MyLottoLine.com
The numbers just don’t work for me here. I’m not a mathematician, but even I can see that. I love the concept of syndicates and play in a couple already, but those offer some of the big international lotteries and not simply ones out of the UK.
Pros:
Multiple Chances to Win
Syndicate for 5 Lotteries
Cons:
Questionable Syndicate Packaging
Sharing with 100 People
Opting Out
There are a lot of good syndicates out there that offer better and clearer terms. Though EuroMillions does grow pretty fast and the UK National Lottery is nothing to frown at, I’d rather put my money into a syndicate that simple is EuroMillions and not spread it over these other lotteries. Keep in mind Millionaire Raffle is free along with purchasing EuroMillions tickets!
no im not impressed either i have sent emails and they dont want to no they dont return emails so maybe they are fraud something does not add up someone needs to look into it cant even get a phone number now so what is going on
I used to work for this company. The whole thing is a scam!!!! They are based in Israel. Ramat Gan actually, which is a suburb of Tel-aviv. When they call you, say Shalom! Mina neame? This is hebrew for hi, how are you? You will be told that you have won this and that and that you will be getting a FREE scratch card, blah, blah. Then they will tell you, you that you have won money and that it will go into the imaginary account on the website and that when it gets to i.e a hundred pounds you can withdraw the money, blah, blah. and the ball goes on. O yes they will tell you, that they are UK based, more ball. DON’T GIVE ANY BANK DETAILS!!!!! Just put the phone down. Once you give these details they will just take as much of your cash as possible. By the way you can stop everything by doing a charge back, ask your bank, just say I want to stop this and I want a charge back. They will tell you you have amazing chances blah, blah. When they call ask to speak to Guy, if that’s his real name, the boss there, he’s won;t speak to you because he has a thick Isreali accent, ask how he is and tell them I know it’s a scam, your in Israel, your boss is a scum bag who bought his mercedes benz with stolen money. Good luck.

Hi Barbara, if mylottolines.com is not cooperative, you should contact your credit card company. You need to dispute a charge shortly after it appears on your statement. Daisy
I to joined mylotto.com signed up for £14.99 per month. 1st payment they took was also £39. like you i rang dozens of times sent lots of emails and got no reply then they did call me a Mr Paul walker. he refunded me £25 but the next month it happened again. Go to your bank they will give you number to ring to stop any future payments coming out of your account. This as put me off joining any more. good luck .
I was sold a syndicate ticket for £3.49, but £39.00 was taken out of my Bank. I have tried for 4 days to contact them through e-mail and phone with no success. Is this a Scam?? I need that money!
Hi Lynette, sorry to hear that. I moved your comment to the relevant section. Please, read MyLottoLines.com review and comments below. As one of our users mentioned, their membership prices have highly increased. You can try to contact your credit card provider for a dispute. Daisy

I agree with you they have been taking £39 out of my bank since last June and I only signed up for 6 months my winnings have reached £104 I was told when it got too £100 it would be put in my bank account have tried to contact them but refuse to answer.

How can they take money out of your bank without your approval? If you approved £3.49 how can they take out £39.00? If so, then it is FRAUD.
