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.

Hi
I played only one $24 and they took of my account $24 twice the next week
I had $100 put into my account with them
But they took money out of my account
So I don’t know how I’m going to spend the $100 I deposited in my account with them
It’s very bad experience

I also won £2000 but every day compliance come back saying the back of my card is not signed when in fact it is and also that my council tax, my dwp and tax credits are e-documents, didn’t know any of those offered e documents, I have never had any other issue with any other gambling establishment, they just don’t want to pay out

My experience with them was decent, to be honest, I didn’t realise in feb last year I had subscribed to them, wasn’t until may I thought feck it ill see what this email is all about because I had just thought it as spam mail etc, but this email said they had been trying to contact me to tell me what I’d won, so went to the account on my phone, and noticed my wee wallet said £35,450, I though away it’s a glitch lol, just to check I bought a ticket and aye it was right, so phoned them, they gave me a cash advance of £1000, flew me over to the isle of man, hotel for the night (was the TT practises as well ;)) all food bought re-embursed, taxi to and from, when I got there they just had a chat, I met everyone that worked there, couple of pictures then flown home with money in bank lol, was rather pretty good like.

I had up for a one off bet of £1.00 I have just found 7 payments of £12.00 and now I have found another payment in the same week the first was to WLC and the second is to annexio limited have rung them to cancel and cannot get in touch with them. I’m at my wits end I don’t know which way to turn to stop these payments.

I signed up to £8.5 in June and have just realised that they tricked me into some form of subscription that fluctuates from £12 to £25 x2 being taken from my account!
Issue in the hand of M&S Money fraud team and am hoping I get my money back. These people are fraudsters and the company should closed down!
Do not get fooled like me, avoid them completely!

My experience of them is very similar to just about everyone else’s. Signed up for £4 in February then find they are taking £15 a week. I have contacted Which? legal and Which? Magazine and the Isle of Man office of Fair Trading about them. I strongly suggest everyone else does the same. Also spoke to my bank fraud dept and World Lottery Club are well known to them so this is happening on a large scale. They need to have some concerted pressure applied. Don’t let them get away with robbery.

The gambling commission is useless and you are on your own with complaints. Shut this company WLC down now. If you cannot unsubscribe instantly you should not have a license. They take from a one off purchase (cheap) on Groupon and then take what they like, in my case £17.50 per week, from your card until you realise what’s going on. Government love it though as they get the taxes.
