In the past, South African lotto fans have been limited to just a couple of options when it came to chasing that big cash prize dream. These days, Lottoland offers the opportunity to bet on lotteries from afar afield as the U.S., Brazil, France and the UK. We are going to show you the 9 easy steps that allow you to place a wager on fixed odds lotto online from your phone or computer, so you never need to miss out on a chance at the latest big lotto draw.

1. Sign up with Lottoland for Free

To enjoy all the benefits of online lotto betting you first need to learn how to register to play lotto online. Registration is straight forward and should not take more than a few minutes. Click on the Register button at the top right-hand corner of the homepage. Enter your email address and choose a secure password. Next, enter your personal details then click the Create a new account button. Note that only one user account per person is allowed. One you are registered, you can log-in quickly and easily every time.

2. Fund Your Account

Once your account has been created, you will be able to add funds using one of the many available payment methods. When you are signed in, click on My Account and then Add Funds. Choose the amount and then select the best option from the range of cards, electronic wallets and bank transfers available. When you wish to withdraw money, simply go to My Account and then Payout and withdraw your cash to the same payment method you used for your deposit. 

3. Choose Your Lottery

When it comes to the choice of lotteries Lottoland is hard to beat. You can bet on familiar lotteries such as the SA Lotto, SA PowerBall or the France Lotto, along with other lotteries from around the world.

Each lottery is linked to from the main menu, click on your lottery to go to that lottery’s main page where you’ll be able to bet on the lottery, as well as get all the information on it.

4. Buy lotto ticket online 

At the top of each lottery page, you’ll find the main bet slip area - this is how to buy lotto ticket online. It’s arranged in a grid similar to a paper lottery ticket. Select your numbers by clicking the corresponding numbers inside the bet slip area. Alternatively, just click the Quick+1 button on the top right of the bet slip for a randomly generated Quick Pick. Beside that button is the +Rest button. This allows you to “all in” with a full bet slip of Quick Picks (e.g. six bets for PowerBall or MegaMillions).

Lottoland also allows you to place a special type of bet called a System Bet, also known as a system bet. If you click more than the standard amount of numbers you will automatically enable this feature. It’s more expensive, but it allows you to add even more numbers to your bet slip to increase your chances of winning. 

5. The Double Payout Feature

Lottoland’s exclusive Double Payout feature lets you win double the amount with just a single click. Lottoland partners with leading insurance companies to guarantee all first tier prize winnings and Double Payout wins. This optional feature costs a little extra, and it only pays double on an actual prize I. category win. Imagine the joy of winning a multi-million dollar win - now double it!

6. Set Your Draw & Duration Options

Like we said, one of the great things about betting on the lottery online is that it allows you to dispense with all this queuing nonsense. Instead you can bet on upcoming draws with a few simple clicks. By default, your bet slip selection will be entered into the next upcoming draw, or you can select which draw you wish to participate in. To bet on Euromillions for example, you can select the Tuesday draw, the Friday draw, or both.

You can also select how many draws you wish to take part in by setting your optional Duration options where you can be entered into draws up to 52 weeks in advance.

If you choose Subscription you will enable subscription billing, based on the number of weeks you pick. The Hunt option, meanwhile, will enable the Hunt feature – when you check this box you will go hunting for the current main prize, and be automatically entered into each draw until the current main cash prize has been won. This is perfect for those looking to hunt down one of those large, rollover main cash prizes.

7. Set Your Participation Options

The optional ’participation’ feature allows you to further tailor your fixed odds lotto betting to suit your schedule and budget. You can opt to place a bet when the main cash prize is at a certain amount or higher, or you can pick specific upcoming dates.

8. Submit Your Bet Slip

All set? Ok then – click on the green Submit button. You’ll be taken to the Shopping Cart page where you can now verify or amend your purchase before you finalise it. On the right-hand side you’ll see a Delete icon (the bin), to remove the bet from your cart and underneath it is a View icon (the magnifying glass) to view your bet slip. When you click this button your bet slip and numbers will appear. If you hover over the bet slip you’ll be given the option to Edit it if you wish. Once you’re ready click on the Submit and proceed button to finalise the transaction.

9. Cross Your Fingers & Check Your Email!

Now, another great thing about betting with Lottoland that we haven’t mentioned yet is that you don’t need to mess around with tickets any more. No more squinting down to see if you won or trying to get it scanned by one of those new machines. And no worrying about losing it either – with Lottoland everything’s done digitally, instantly, and easily!

Once your purchase has been finalised you’ll get confirmation via email. You will also be notified of draw results and any ensuing wins. Any money you win will be automatically credited to your Lottoland user account. This can then be used to bet again or you can withdraw it to your bank account. In other words, you don’t have to do anything –  the results and the wins all come to you!
