Websites that allow you to play the lottery online have come a long way from when they first began. Today, regardless of your location, the is a wide variety of sites that you can choose from to play in some of the biggest lottery games on the planet. In this YourLottoService UK Ltd. review, we will look at a site launched in 2018 that functions very differently from any other site we have ever seen—and this isn’t necessarily a good thing.
How Does YourLottoService Work?
Let us start by saying that YourLottoService UK is not technically an online lottery website. Instead, it functions more as an online lottery syndicate provider. This is because you will not be able to purchase individual lottery tickets via the site—you will only be able to buy subscriptions to the available lottery syndicates offered by the website. Unfortunately, even doing this is not actually available through the site. Instead, all the site really is an information base that tells you everything that you need to know about what YourLottoService does.
In order to actually participate in the syndicates offered by the site, you will need to actually call the company to register. This can be done by calling +4420 3868 0477 anytime from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm BST.
When calling to register, you will be required to provide your full name, postal address, date of birth, email address, gender, phone number, and banking details from which you would like your subscription debited from. Some of this information will require additional verification, and you will be requested to email copies of proof to YourLottoService UK.
Once you have registered, the site will add you to their lottery syndicates, and you will be part of a group that has improved chances of winning fantastic jackpots. Unfortunately, the site does not provide any information regarding the syndicate you will belong to—including what exactly it will cost you or how much your odds will improve. This is because neither the site or the terms and conditions available outline the syndicate details. We certainly hope that these are communicated when calling.
Is YourLottoService UK Legit or a Scam?
The site does look legitimate and trustworthy. In fact, it even has a dedicated section that holds user reviews. Each of these reviews is simply one-liners from “previous winners.” However, when checking the site’s online reputation—aside from what the website says about itself—we were slightly concerned. For example, the site holds only a three-star review on TrustPilot, and there seem to be many complaints against them online. Most of these have to do with the fact that when registering, you cannot cancel within the first three months.
Considering that even we saw this clearly when going through the terms and conditions, we are led to believe that most negative reviews are due to users not reading what they agree to when registering. Aside from that, the site looks like it is all above board.
User Experience
The website looks great and is incredibly easy to navigate around. Aside from that, it is hard to comment on the user experience of the site when its primary purpose is simply to get you to call them. There is no other real functionality that the site offers.
Lotteries Available
Because of the way YourLottoService UK functions, there are only two lotteries available on the site. Before you let that scare you away, however, you should know that they are two of the most well-known lotteries in the world—the UK National Lottery and EuroMillions. Aside from these, there are no other supported international lotteries.
YourLottoService UK Extras
From what we can see, there are no other features offered by the website.
Payment/Withdrawal Options
Because the site does not allow you an online wallet—or even an online account for that matter—there are no payment or withdrawal options available. In terms of paying for your subscription, this can only be done by providing the site with your banking details when calling them to register and authorising them to place a debit order on your account.
How to Claim Your Winnings
The site states that they will claim all winnings owed to your syndicate on behalf of all players. This is great because it means that you will not have to go through the effort of trying to claim from the relevant lottery authority. Once YourLottoService UK receives the winnings, they will be paid out via bank transfer to all winners of the syndicate. The exception to this is when the winnings are below £2. In this case, the winnings will be held and paid out with any other winnings that you may acquire at a later date.
Customer Support
Customer support is offered by calling +44 20 3868 0477 Monday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm BST. Additionally, there is an online contact form that claims to respond within 24 hours and a snail mail address (42 Chase Side, Enfield, Middlesex, EN2 6NF, UK) in case you wish to write them a letter.
Welcome Bonuses/Promotions
While there were no promotions or welcome bonuses visible while we were reviewing the site, we did notice that they are provided for in the site terms and conditions. It appears that the site occasionally offers a free lines offer to new players. This offer entitles you to claim free lines in a syndicate when registering.
Rules and Regulations
The site has the following list of rules that must be followed in order to make use of the services offered:
All players must meet the minimum age required to be able to gamble in the region that they reside in. No underage gambling is permitted. This age is not specified by the site but is usually 18 years of age.
Residents of the USA and Germany are strictly prohibited from playing.
Players are responsible for ensuring that they are legally allowed to partake in online gambling in their respective locations.
YourLottoService UK Ltd. Review Conclusion
YourLottoService UK is certainly not what we were expecting when we first heard about the site. The fact that registration can only be done by calling in is, frankly, ridiculous. Considering the age that we are living in where it is possible to complete almost any task online, we cannot understand why the site would require players to call to register (maybe they are lonely?).
Sure, any site that offers improved chances of winning a jackpot through the use of lottery syndicates is something worth looking into, and if you are looking to join a syndicate for the two great lotteries mentioned earlier, it may be worthwhile to give YourLottoService UK a call. However, there are many lottery sites out there that offer considerably more lotteries and features, significantly better user experiences, and much more value—not to mention can be accessed online instead of via phone as though it’s 1992.
A work colleague told me about YourLottoService and said it was great, so I checked it out figuring it would be like Lottoland or theLotter... Nope, not at all! I'm not sure if this is tailored at retirees who aren't computer literate or what, but for anyone else I don't see why you'd sign up with them when there are so many other sites that offer a world of advntages.
