Launched toward the end of 2019, LotteryHeroes.com is the latest in a long line of online lottery providers that are trying to a make a mark and steal business from sites that have been established for ages. In this LotteryHeroes.com review, we will look at what this site has to offer and how it can help you in your efforts to win millions.
How Does It Work?
To begin playing on the site, which is available in English, German, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Czech, Italian, and Spanish, you will need to register a player account. This is standard procedure for any online lottery website and something that cannot be worked around. Fortunately, registering is incredibly simple and only requires you to divulge your email, name, country, contact number, and date of birth. When registering, you can also set your default currency.
Once you have registered, you can select which lottery you would like to play. Upon clicking on your chosen lottery, you will be shown a number selection screen that allows you to either choose your own numbers or to use a quick pick that will choose numbers on your behalf using a random number generator.
One thing that we must say right upfront is that the ticket prices on Lottery Heroes are absurd. We took a look at some of the more prominent online lottery websites and found that a single US Powerball ticket is almost US$1 more expensive through Lottery Heroes than through any other site, including theLotter. Even though we do understand that the site needs to make some form of revenue, this seems pretty ridiculous and is not something that can easily be forgotten.
Looking past the price tag, however, after selecting your numbers, you will have the option to enable Multidraw—which allows you to play for multiple draws in advance. After making your decision on this, you can continue to payment and confirm your ticket.
It is important to note that LotteryHeroes is not an online lottery agent but rather a lottery betting site. What this means is that instead of having a physical ticket purchased on your behalf, your online purchase will be wagered as a bet against what the outcome of the lottery will be. Should you win a smaller prize, it will be paid by the site directly, while large prizes will be paid out by the company’s insurers—not the actual lottery operator. While many sites, including the incredibly popular Lottoland.com, work this way, some people prefer the security of knowing they bought a physical ticket. In the end, every player’s preferences will differ.
Is LotteryHeroes.com Legit or a Scam?
Although little is known about the operator of the site, Purple Rain N.V.—a company that states it works in Information Technology and is registered in Curacao—most online user reviews of the site are complaints about their pricing on tickets and not on the way the site actually runs. This confirms our initial thoughts that the site seems trustworthy and that you should be safe using its services.
Our basis for this is twofold. The first of these reasons is that the site has been growing since its launch. Websites that are a scam generally would not grow to include additional lotteries into their portfolio. If anything, the number of supported lotteries would shrink.
The second reason we believe this site to be legitimate is that they have a truly comprehensive set of terms and conditions. Almost everything that you would expect to find in terms and conditions is in there, and the site does a fantastic job of covering all bases to ensure that they (and you) are protected.
Lotteries Available
When it initially launched, Lottery Heroes was home to 19 international lotteries. Since then, however, the site has expanded and now supports 21 of the most popular lotteries around the globe—as well as some lesser-known lotteries. These lotteries include:

User Experience
The site is great to look at and uses great colouring and modern design styles to make every page a delight to visit. Enhancing this great look is a powerful coding mechanism that allows the site to load smoothly and quickly without any real wait time. Navigation is also a breeze thanks to the top menu bar that holds links to everything that you could want to get to in a hurry. All other navigation is done via the footer menu.
LotteryHeroes.com Extras
For a site that is technically still in its infancy, we are pretty surprised at the number of extras available on this site. This is further proof that the site is growing at a rapid rate and is clearly doing something right. Some of these great extras include:
Lottery Syndicates: As with most sites, LotteryHeroes offers a selection of lottery syndicates that allow you to pool your money with that of other players to purchase more tickets than you could afford to on your own. This act improves your chances of winning and could lead you to be a winner more often.
Lottery Combos: These combos offer selections of multiple syndicate shares all rolled into one neat package. They work well to allow you to play in various different syndicates while only paying one amount and is an interesting concept towards combos—which traditionally just include lines of play from different lotteries.
Games: The site has recently launched a new Games section that includes a variety of online and instant games that range from traditional Snake to slot machines. These games are a great way to pass some time while standing a chance to win some real cash.
Scratchcards: Aside from online games, there are also a range of online scratchers available that give you instant chances to try your luck to see if you are a winner.
Membership: The site hosts its own VIP club that any member can opt to join for an annual fee that is payable in advance. The perks of being a VIP player include free scratch tickets, free tickets for lottery draws, discounts during your birthday month, and reward points that give you cash back every time you spend.
Payment/Withdrawal Options
The site has grown from only accepting card transactions and now offers a decent (though still small) selection of different payment methods. These include:
Visa
MasterCard
Maestro
Skrill
Neteller
Instant Bank Transfer
All withdrawals are done via bank transfer and are subject to you verifying your identity by submitting verification documents such as a copy of your identity document, proof of banking details, and proof of your address. Furthermore, all amounts withdrawn must be done so in Euros—regardless of what you have selected as your default currency.
How to Claim Your Winnings
Thankfully, because you are merely placing bets on the outcomes of lotteries and not purchasing actual lottery tickets, all winnings are claimed from LotteryHeroes or their insurers—not lottery operators. This makes the process significantly quicker (in most cases) and allows LotteryHeroes to claim all winnings on your behalf and simply credit them to your online player account. From here, you may withdraw any of your winnings as and when you choose to.
Customer Support
Customer support is handled via an online form, a contact number with no hours of operation (+35 722 000 248), and a support email address (support@lotteryheroes.com). However, these might be irrelevant since we doubt that you will have any questions that are not answered sufficiently by the extensive FAQ section available.
Welcome Bonuses/Promotions
While there are provisions in the terms and conditions of the site for bonuses and promotions, there were no active promotions while we were reviewing the site.
Rules and Regulations
Aside from not allowing anyone who is below the age of 18 to open a player account, there is also a short list of countries where residents are not permitted to register a player account or use the site. These countries are:
Israel
Turkey
Spain
France
United Kingdom
Belgium
Netherlands
Hungary
Portugal
Denmark
United States of America
LotteryHeroes.com Review Conclusion
For a site that at the time of writing this review was launched less than a year ago, we cannot help but be impressed with LotteryHeroes. The site has a great mix of popular lotteries, a fantastic mix of additional features that most other online lottery sites could learn something from, and clear-cut terms and conditions that leave you knowing exactly where you stand. The only thing that really concerns us about this site is the ridiculous costs associated with lottery tickets. If the site could re-evaluate these and bring them more in line with the actual costs of a ticket, this site might just become unstoppable.
Wow, I was not expect this site to have so many good extra on that. Will try it out for sure.
