World Lottery Club Review
Tripping over WorldLotteryClub.com, Lotto Exposed Team was pleasantly surprised. Let me explain that. WorldLotteryClub is fully licensed as an Annexio Limited with the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. As WorldLotteryClub claims, they
“Are required to satisfy the jurisdiction’s licensing requirements and to comply with the stringent online gaming standards and player protection rules”.
Let’s examine this further.
Games at World Lottery Club
Besides single tickets in the usual EuroMillions, Mega Millions, EuroJackpot and US Powerball, WorldLotteryClub.com offers the Polish Lotto, German Lotto 6aus49, Swedish Lotto and Finish Lotto tickets. Players have the option of reading the site in English, Russian, Finnish, German, Suomi, and yes – Polish. All jackpots are posted in GBP and paid in that currency.
On the bottom of all their pages, there is a line that says
“Annexio Limited T/A World Lottery Club does not operate a lottery. Members place bets on the outcome of national lotteries. Official lottery tickets and insurance are purchased based on the bets placed so that all winnings are equal to the cash option of national lottery winnings.”
I get that they purchase insurance just in case they don’t have the tickets – but, the T & C says the money comes from the relevant operator.
World Lottery Club and Winning
Winners will be notified by email if they win £10 or more. Only winnings will be transferred to your credit card or bank account. Players cannot withdraw any amount that has been placed into their account to play.
VIPs at World Lottery Club
As a VIP member of World Lottery Club, you’ll be given the opportunity to play some of the world’s biggest and wealthiest lotteries such as the USA Mega Millions and the US Powerball.
Who Is WorldLotteryClub.com?
Annexio Limited owns and operates this site as well as a heap of others. Each site has different options for betting on single tickets and syndicates for different lotteries. They all offer snail mail and a UK telephone number and online chat.
The Bottom Line
WorldLotteryClub is a legit online lottery service, fully licensed by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. Its lottery prices are very competitive, and it offers an excellent opportunity to bet on the outcome of such giants as the Mega Millions and the Powerball.
Pros:
Fully Licensed

I can’t find out how to cancel my subscription as I can’t afford to play and there nothing telling you how to do it
I cancelled mine last year and see you have taken 8 pounds from my account on 3Rd of February.
Do not take any more and I want refunding! It’s misleading and a scam.

Hello
I have just purchased what I thought would also be just one nights draw and was offered extra lines for free and an entry into the syndicate for a small fee. I also feel conned as the whole process is misleading, as I only realised I was entering into a subscription when I’d given my bank details and it was too late. I trusted this site as it was advertised on The Bluelight Card site which offers discounts to employees in the public sector.
I to be in the draw but not in a subscription and wish to withdraw my details from the company so I can’t be charged over and over again for something I didn’t want to subscribe to.
Can you please tell me how I do this? And even get what I’ve paid refunded back to me.
I feel that the advertising and promoting that this site gives is misleading and could see Trading Standards having a field day with this site and its misleading promoting and advertising.

I too have been duped by this site. I phoned to cancel and after taking my name and half of my address I was told it’s cancelled. I feel uneasy after reading comments and wonder if it is in fact cancelled on the scant info I gave. I will contact my bank to make sure payment does not come out.
The thing is, it’s a card payment, not DD, so banks can’t stop the payments from their end! I tried that and was explained to me why it couldn’t be done.

I wish to cancel my subscription as I thought I was only paying for I game I am a pensioner and cannot afford £8 a week
I’ve been caught out too! Thought I was just buying one off Powerball tickets, and now I’ve realized its not, I can’t seem to cancel it and can’t cancel via my banks end as they’ve got my card details! And getting no role to phone calls! Have mails and live in hope of reply, but not holding my breathe!! They may not be a scam as such, but they need to make it a damned sight easier to cancel!!
