Lotteries.com Review

Betting versus buying lottery tickets seems to be an ongoing discussion. Lotteries.com is yet another site that offers players the chance to bet on international lotteries. This can be done through single tickets purchase or participation in one of their syndicates. Players win the face value of what is officially published by the international lottery. So how do they do it?

Games at Lotteries.com

Players can bet on 18 of the largest international lotteries ranging from the US Powerball and Mega Millions through EuroJackpot and Australian Oz Lotto. Play can either be through single tickets or within syndicates. First-time purchasers get a 100% credit back to play with on their first tickets.

Is Lottery.com Legit?

Though there is nothing really to suggest this site isn’t legit, I don’t like the fact they do buy tickets yet I am still betting on the numbers. I think I’ll stick to an online provider where I actually own my tickets.

Ultimately, my main concern when it comes to betting versus buying tickets through an online line provider comes down to where they get the winnings. What lotteries.com says is they actually do buy the actual tickets to ‘guarantee payouts for winnings”. Okay, they go further and say in this way they contribute to “various good causes in host nations”. Give me a break. So how come they run this as a betting site versus simply buying tickets for people?
