What is Lottoland South Africa?

Lottoland offers the people in South Africa, and all over the world, the chance to bet on a wide range of international lotteries.

It is a global leader in online lottery. At Lottoland you can bet on the outcome of the biggest and best lotto draws the world has to offer. 

We offer you the chance to play the PowerBall and MegaMillions alongside the supersized EuroJackpot and French Lotto draws. Lottoland also has the Irish Lotto, Polish Lotto, four lotteries from Australia and many more big draws from Europe and beyond.  

Lottoland is not an official lottery operator and does not buy any lottery tickets on behalf of the Customer. Instead, Lottoland allows Customers to make bets on different lotteries and if a Customer wins a bet, then they will be paid directly by Lottoland and not an official lottery operator.

What Sets Lottoland Apart? 

At Lottoland South Africa, we currently offer betting on over 25 + different International Lottos, including EuroMillions, USA PowerBall and Irish Lotto. Alongside these there are exclusive main prizes like Cash4Life (win R10,000 per day for the rest of your life!) and Keno24/7 (win up to R1 Million every 4 minutes!) that you will only find through us.

Thanks to our betting model, players in South Africa place fixed odds bets of these draws regardless of where the lottery is based.

The unrivalled level of choice and freedom of bets are just two of the reasons people are choosing us as their destination for lottery betting.

Who owns Lottoland?

Lottoland was established in May 2013 and is privately owned. The CEO is Nigel Birrell and the Head Office is based in Gibraltar, a worldwide hub for the online gaming industry. Lottoland is growing rapidly with a diverse staff of over 270 employees, from over 30 countries!

The website is operated by EU Lotto Ltd (company number 109514 and registered address Suite A, Ocean Village Promenade, Ocean Village, Gibraltar GX11 1AA). EU Lotto Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner under the Gibraltar Gambling Act 2005 (Licences: RGL 085 & 066).

Can Lottoland be trusted?

Is Lottoland legitimate? In short, the answer is yes! Lottoland South Africa is fully licensed and regulated by the Western Cape Gambling Board. This license ensures that anyone who wins through Lottoland South Africa will be paid out in full.

We are also backed by a number of leading insurers. These companies also insure some of the world's largest financial institutions, so it doesn't matter whether it's R5 million or R500 million, your top prize will be covered.

Internationally, Lottoland holds a Guinness World Records™ achievement for the world’s biggest online gambling payout of €90 Million. Hopefully, we can add some South African winners to our Lottoland Millionaires list soon! 

Lottoland’s South African winners

Two people who can vouch that Lottoland is legit are the two lucky winners from South Africa.

During the lockdown, one Lottoland winner from the Western Cape placed a R90 bet on the German Lotto. He matched all five numbers and the SuperBall and won R381 175.78.  After winning he explained, “Now I can do what I want to do - settle my debt and enjoy the money. Thanks Lottoland SA for the amazing service and streamlined process.”

A week later, we gained another Lottoland South Africa winner, this time from Gauteng. He won R87 469.72 24-hours after betting on five numbers.

Why Do I Have to Send My ID to Lottoland? 

Many of our customers ask why they need to provide us with valid identification, and it's a valid question. After all, giving out personal information online is not something any of us like doing. There are however very practical reasons for this.

Lottoland South Africa is required by law to verify your identity.  This is part of the terms of our gaming license, and it also protects our customers. Without proper ID, we would not be able to validate and pay out any prizes you are due, because they could be claimed by someone that is impersonating you. Remember to double check your details correctly when you register at Lottoland South Africa. Registration is simple but it is vital to enter the correct details to avoid any issues.

Rest assured that we only use your data for the following reasons:

• Facilitating the payment of prizes
• Confirming your identity
• Protecting you from fraud to ensure you and only you can claim your prize
• Offering you personalised support

Asking for ID also safeguards vulnerable underage players, and prevents minors from betting.

Last, but not least, data protection laws require us to treat all personal player data with the very strictest of confidence and, that which we store for operational purposes, is secure and encrypted. Which brings us to our next point...

Is My Personal Data Safe With Lottoland?

Short answer; yes.

Long answer; we are legally required to take all the necessary steps to ensure any personal information that is shared with us remains secure.

Our security ensures your details are stored in accordance with data protection legislation. Everything we do is monitored and checked by official 3rd parties who ensure we are always providing the best possible services to our customers. 

Faster, More Convenient

It doesn't matter whether you're on desktop, tablet or mobile, Lottoland's website and app allow you to place fixed odds bets on your favourite products wherever you are.  

We also offer players the ability to bulk buy bets up to a year in advance, meaning there is no risk of missing a single draw.  

When it comes to wins, Lottoland pays out faster than anyone else around. Top prize winners in most draws have to wait several months between confirming their win and starting their millionaire lifestyles. For those who win with Lottoland, they're jetting off to their new life in half the time.

How does Lottoland pay-out?

For smaller prize tier payments, Lottoland makes the payment directly from the fund we have from the total sales of the draw.

For us to make the larger prize tier payments, we take out insurance policies to cover the eventuality of a big win or a substantial pay-out on your lotto bet.

Part of the Lotto bet price you pay goes towards the payment of this insurance policy. This means that we can pay out no matter how large the lottery win.

How to withdraw money from Lottoland?

You can withdraw prizes straight back to your bank account via EFT from the ‘Pay-out’ section found withing ‘My Account’.

Simply choose the amount, and account you would like to withdraw to, and click ‘perform pay-out’

You can view the pay-out to your bank account at any time. Sign into you Player Account and choose ‘My Transactions’ from the drop-down menu. We request the payment for you immediately and the money is transferred to your bank details within a few working days.

However, the prizes you have won may be used to place further fixed odds bets. When making any purchase, Lottoland South Africa will always use your deposited balance for payment first.

If this balance does not cover the cost, then we will use your prizes.
