BuyLottoOnline.com Review 2024

Though BuyLottoOnline.com was originally launched way back in 2005, it received a serious facelift in early April 2019 that has significantly improved the entire user experience.

Aimed at the American market, the site offers lottery players a lot of value and features, some of which aren’t easy to find anywhere else.

In this BuyLottoOnline review we will take a close look at what exactly the site provides and give our verdict on whether it’s a site that’s worth trusting and signing up with.

How Does BuyLottoOnline Work?

Like with practically every other lottery site, BuyLottoOnline requires users to sign up and create a player account before they can start using the service and taking advantage of its features. Fortunately, this task is completed quickly and easily using the online registration form. Users are required to provide their basic information, such as age, location, and email address, in order to complete their user profile. This entire process took us just a few minutes to complete.

Once users have successfully created their profile and signed in, they can select whatever lottery or lotteries appeal to them and purchase tickets for them. According to the ‘How It Works’ page on the website, any lottery ticket orders purchased through the website are then transferred to BuyLottoOnline’s employees, who then purchase physical tickets from official retailers on behalf of the player. As such, this site functions as lottery ticket agent/lottery messenger service.

Is BuyLottoOnline.com a Scam or Legit?

Some of the first factors that we look at in our online lottery site reviews is what each site’s online reputation is, how long it has been around for, and how well its terms and conditions are set out.

Although the online reputation of BuyLottoOnline.com leaves a lot to be desired, all of the user reviews we read were about the old version of the site, which was very different from the April 2019 update.

In fact, we had never even been inclined to review the previous version of the site since it wasn’t really on our radar, but it certainly is now. Therefore, we have a feeling that the operators behind the new site might have just purchased the BuyLottoOnline.com domain from the previous operators, and that is why the new version is so utterly different—and better—than the one that’s been around since 2005. 

As for the terms and conditions, they seem to be well crafted and well thought out, and while browsing through them we didn’t come across any major red flags.

User Experience

The design of BuyLottoOnline.com is bright and colourful, and the idyllic beach setting scene that greets visitors on the homepage immediately conjures up images of winning it big—an intentional marketing strategy, we’re sure of it.

Moreover, the site makes it easy for users to find whatever it is they’re seeking using the navigation bar at the top of each page. This allows user to quickly see what lotteries are playable through the site, the various syndicate options that exist, the latest lottery results, and currently available promotions. Every lottery has a convenient countdown showing the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next draw, with a big, red “PLAY NOW” button on the right-hand side that allows you to get in on the action with just a few clicks.

The website is also responsive on modern smartphones and portable devices, making up for the fact that there is no dedicated application—at least not yet—available for iOS or Android.

BuyLottoOnline.com Features

BuyLottoOnline offers several features that are worth looking into and trying out, including lottery subscriptions, lottery syndicates (aka group play), and VIP Loyalty Points. 

Lottery Syndicates

BuyLottoOnline offers various syndicates, including combo packages, for seven of the biggest lotteries in the world: USA Powerball, Mega Millions, Italy SuperEnaLotto, EuroMillions, EuroJackpot, Oz Lotto, and Florida Lotto. For details on what options each of these come in, check out our BuyLottoOnline syndicates review.

Lottery Subscriptions

The BuyLottoOnline FAQ states that players can subscribe to whatever number of individual draws will take place in a given month or for 6 months or 12 months. This wording is a bit confusing, as it doesn’t clarify what the minimum and maximum number of draws users can subscribe to actually is. However, going through the process ourselves, the maximum number of draws/plays the system initially let us choose at one time was 19. This was in Step #1 of the “ADD TO CART” column that appears on the right side of each lottery’s page. However, when we clicked on the “See another options” (yes, their grammar is off a bit here) link under Step #3 (“Select your playing style”), different options appeared. For starters, the numbers of individual draws in this pop-up window is limited to a maximum of 8, but monthly, 6-month, and 12-month subscriptions are also available.

Millionaire Raffles

In addition to lotteries, BuyLottoOnline provides access to some of the biggest Millionaire Raffles in the world, including Spain’s Christmas El Gordo, Super Summer Draw, and New Year El Niño, and Mexico’s Sorteo Mayor, Sorteo Superior, Sorteo, Magno, and more. Extremely detailed historical draw results and prize breakdowns for each of the raffles are also provided.

VIP Loyalty Points

Unlike some other online lottery sites, which limit their VIP programs to regular customers who spend a minimum amount each month, BuyLottoOnline allows all players to get in on the action. The first time you make a purchase through the site, you’ll automatically be enrolled in a program that will give you 1 VIP loyalty point for every $2 that you spend. These points can be traded for discounts on tickets and, if you have enough points, even free plays.

Payment/Withdrawal Options

One area that BuyLottoOnline suffers in (at least for now in its early days) is how limited its online payment methods are. The only options available right now are literally Visa and MasterCard. That’s it.

That being said, withdrawals are simple and can be made by requesting a payout from the member section of the website once you’re logged in. The site states that it never charges any fees for withdrawing money, but warns that some banks might charge a small fee for receiving transfers. All payments are made by direct bank transfer and are in USD.

How to Claim Your Winnings

Claiming winnings from BuyLottoOnline seems like a fairly straightforward process that depends on the amount that the user has won. The two categories are explained below.

Winnings under $600

These winnings will automatically be credited to your account within 7 days of the draw taking place.

Winnings over $600

If you win more than $600, the Winners Support Team will contact you to discuss the process of claiming your winnings. According to one section of the website, such winnings will be claimed by BuyLottoOnline on behalf of the player “wherever possible.” All that will be required of the player is to fill out a tax declaration form and provide proof of identity and address. However, according to the terms and conditions, players will be sent the winning ticket and will be responsible for claiming their winnings themselves. Therefore, we suspect that BuyLottoOnline will claim smaller prizes on behalf of players but leave huge prizes (especially jackpot prizes) up to customers to claim. This is typical of most online lottery sites.

One of the nice things about BuyLottoOnline is that it never takes any commission on winnings; the company makes all of its money from the small fee that it charges when buying lotto tickets on behalf of its customers.

Customer Support

BuyLottoOnline offers a few ways for customers to reach the company if they need assistance with anything. The primary way seems to be via email at info@buylottoonline.net or the support form available on the site. The site states that all queries will be answered via 6 hours, and the one time that we contacted them we heard back from them in about 3 hours.

A phone number (1-855-835-4826) is also provided, but no hours of operation are provided. Similarly, the “Contact Us” page mentions there is a “Chat with us bar” in the lower right of the site, but we weren’t able to find that on any of the pages we visited.

Meanwhile, the FAQ section provides detailed answers to a few dozen of the most common questions the company receives. As such, the FAQ satisfactorily answered almost all of our questions.

Welcome Bonus and Other Promotions

In addition to the VIP Loyalty Points program mentioned above, BuyLottoOnline has quite a few other promotions and packages that players can take advantage of to save money, including several welcome bonuses and various offers that are open to all players—not just new ones—which in some ways are even better. Here’s an overview:

Deals of the Day

These limited-time deals are usually for specific lotteries (e.g. SuperEnalotto, Mega Millions, Oz Lotto, California SuperLotto, etc.) and offer discounts of 5% to 10%.

Memberships

BuyLottoOnline offers two types of regular memberships (Gold Member and Diamond Member) and two types of exclusive memberships (Platinum Member and Titanium Member). Becoming a member will give you discounts on lotteries and access to special offers and even games not available to regular customers, free play in certain syndicates, a free eBook on the secret tips to help you win the lottery, free credits, and more. The higher the membership level you sign up for, the more you’ll get in return.

Refer a Friend

If you refer a friend to BuyLottoOnline who signs up and makes a purchase, both you and the friend will get a free USA Mega Millions ticket. A nice added perk is there’s no limit on the number of free tickets that you can get, so referring more people could really be worth your while.

Rules and Regulations

The standard rule that users need to be above the age of 18 is applicable to all users of BuyLottoOnline.com, and the website is open exclusively to residents of the United States of America.

BuyLottoOnline.com Review – Conclusion

The original BuyLottoOnline.com was around for almost 15 years and didn’t win too many fans during that time. However, the April 2019 version of the site seems to have been redesigned from the ground up.

Due to its clean and responsive interface, attractive features, and excellent VIP loyalty program, we feel that BuyLottoOnline could become a serious lottery site if it ironed out the few annoying kinks that we came across.

Until it does that, however, it's not a site that we can recommend because there are many better sites out there.
