Lotto247 Review

Review last updated on December 20, 2022

In 2017, Lotto247 entered the iGaming marketplace as an online lottery ticket agent that enables Tanzanian players to enter their favourite draws from all over the globe. By offering access to more than a dozen draws, Lotto247 is one of the most competitive agents out there. And the same applies to the range of trusted payment methods that can be accepted when purchasing lottery tickets online.

Games

Mega Millions is showcased as one of the principal lottery draws that players can enter. Established in the US, the Mega Millions draw paid out the second-largest jackpot in the world when a player won $1.537 billion in October 2018. With jackpots routinely worth hundreds of millions, the Powerball Plus is another US lottery that is popular with players. Other American draws include Mega Millions Max and the standard Powerball.

Another notable is the Mega-Sen lottery in Brazil. Australia is another key contributor, with Lotto247 providing users with the ability to play for millions of Australian dollars in the likes of the OZ Powerball and OZ Lotto draws.

When turning attention to Europe, users can enter Italy’s Super Ena Lotto, Super Ena Max, Austria’s Lotto 6aus49, France Lotto, and Spain’s El Gordo and La Primitiva. Plus, registered users of Lotto247 can also enter the Europe-wide EuroMillions draw the routinely gives away eight-figure jackpots.

After selecting a particular lottery, users can check when the next draw is being held, as well as the possible jackpot. The page for each draw will also explain the instructions for securing a ticket, including the numbers that need to be selected.

Banking

While VISA and MasterCard are the accepted credit card options, Visa Electron, Maestro, American Express, and Diners Club International cannot be processed. For anyone seeking a more innovative payment method, we found it possible to transfer funds via Skrill, MuchBetter, NETELLER, AstroPay, and Interac. On the site, it is promised that Latin American residents can have access to a localised range of payment methods.

Mobile

Lotto247 also keeps pace with the wider iGaming industry by enabling users to purchase lottery tickets with their smartphone or tablet. While new accounts can be created via mobile, existing users should sign in with their current login details. Fundamentally, Lotto247 operates via web browsers and will be instantly accessible for the lottery players who use Android or iOS.

VIP & Bonuses

Compared to the industry, Lotto247 follows a similar path by giving away complimentary tickets for users to enter some of the larger lottery draws. These opportunities seem to be more frequent for new players. However, we did notice that special offers can be sent out via the mailing list, so it helps to keep checking your emails and junk mail filter.

Security & Fairplay

When analysing Lotto247, we determined that the brand was operated with a valid remote gaming licence at the time of this review. As for the licence provider, this was provided by Antillephone. Moving to the security setup, we were reassured to see that Lotto247 has secured the use of certified encryption, which is viewed as the industry standard for processing data and payments and securely.

Support

Our team of experts found Lotto247 to be one of the more helpful operators in the industry.
