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.

I chose to play once.
Apparently I was served a pop up and agreed to an agreement which I never would have done and this is clearly a sneaky way to get people like me to agree to something by mistake at the end of a journey.
I am talking to them now to receive the money back and I am really hoping they are a decent company who care about their customers and refund the money.
I also advise you to review the journey on your site as I am not the first one on here to say this and you shouldn’t trick your customers into this which I am sure if you asked yourself, you know you are doing and I imagine a high percentage of your customer inquiries are about this very matter.

I thought I was just placing one £3 bet, but find they have been taking money from my bank account twice a week and now £42 down. Apparently they sent a pop up which I clicked on and that started the process. This is unfair. This is not clear and I feel should be avoided.

I did not sign up for more than one go on the lottery, but you have taken £77 out of my account. I think this is fraud, I would like to think you will give me my money back but I won’t hold my breath.

I got offers to play lottery at 99p at this price I couldn’t believe it. However, I won a few times, not a lot of money just under £30.
Yes, I was surprised, but what stops them from when you have a big wining paying you as you don’t have a ticket and your betting with them and not the lottery agents them selves.
G.Mellor
I paid to play ‘ONCE’ I’ve just noticed on my bank statement that they’ve been taking £25 out of my account every two weeks.
Can’t find anything on their site to why this is OR to cancel it so now will have to go through my bank to stop these transactions.
Not impressed.
