LiveLotto Exposed — Only for Great Britain!
LiveLotto Review
Now for something a little different! LiveLotto offers an online lottery game that can be played on mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Don’t look for the usual US Powerball or EuroMillions mega jackpots, but then again, it doesn’t cost as much to play! This looks like a cute little site for playing not-so-big jackpots where part of the money is going to charities. So let’s take a deeper look.
Which lottery agent is better 24Lottos or LiveLotto?
How to Create an Account on Live Lotto
It’s easy and straightforward. The first step is to download the LiveLotto app on your iOS or Android device or alternatively, you can also access the platform through your PC or laptop. Once you have the app or program running, you will be prompted to take a picture of your face and upload it as part of the account setup process. This unique process is a security measure to ensure that only authorized users have access to the platform. After you have completed the account setup process by uploading your picture, you will be able to access the LiveLotto platform and start playing. With just a few simple steps, you will be ready to play and potentially win big on LiveLotto.
How to Play?
The first thing you have to do to play the lottery games at Livelotto.co.uk downloads the app/program. Part of this is uploading your “game face”. Next is choosing the game you want to play, loading your account, and going for it. Whoops – only if you are physically in Great Britain. Yup folks – players must be a resident of Wales, Scotland, or England and actually be there “at the time of purchase”. Oh – and you must be 16 years or older.
Games at Live Lotto
Livelotto.co.uk has seven different games all with a buy-in of 10p. Their largest estimated jackpot is £25,000 plus 100 lucky dips of £1, with a prize tier of £1,000, £250, £100, and £50. The other games have a jackpot of £10,000, £5,000, £1,000, £10, £5, and £1. And then it gets weird. The £1, £5, and £10 draws happen daily as total tickets are sold. An example is the £1 draw has a total of 16 tickets and once they are all sold, any further tickets are purchased for the next day. This is unlike the other four draws that only happen once the tickets are sold. For the £25,000 jackpot, that means 404,581 tickets.
Livelotto.co.uk and Winning
LiveLotto donates 20% of all ticket sales to a specific charity as set out on its website. Currently, there is only one, but it looks like other charities could get involved and/or become part of one of the specific draws. Players get between 62 and 65% of sales paid back in winnings. The rest goes to operating the site. There are no fees for withdrawals though a £5 minimum is applied unless you are closing your account. They also underline the fact they do not store your credit card details on their site and instead PayPoint Plc to process deposits and withdrawals.
£5,000 Free Draw Giveaway
On livelotto.co.uk’s website, there is a button for a £5,000 one-time draw as part of the launch of their site (a month ago). The only thing is – there is no date for when it will take place.
LiveLotto & Customer Service
Besides the email address and online form, there is a phone number (a lovely person answered and was very helpful) and a snail mail address in the United Kingdom. Customer service is open from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday. There is also a lovely message on their answering machine during off hours. In their privacy section, they say they won’t share your information and will keep it secure.

Is LiveLotto Legit?
If you are a resident of Wales, Scotland, or England, actually physically there and 16 years of age or older, then this could be a good bit of fun plus you might win some money. We do think the close-off (when the draw takes place) on the larger jackpots is a little strange but then again, it’s not costing a heap of money!
This site gets a thumbs up for people in Great Britain and a thumbs down for the rest of us. We still do wonder a bit about this limitation, but there is no indication you will be receiving spam as a result of playing. If you are playing here, please let us know what you’ve won!

This is a cute little lottery that supports charities. It doesn’t cost much to play, but you get a chance to win and are doing something good. I like the fact that they have an actual message on their telephone when they are closed. That’s a nice little touch. Only problem is you have to live in the UK to play.
