What every site is checked on
Each lottery site we review is checked on the same points. The facts come from the site's own pages and terms, and each one is stored with the date we read it.
- Licence. Who licenses the site.
- Lotteries on sale. Which official draws the site sells entries to. The coverage table on our list of lottery sites is built from this.
- Payments. The deposit and withdrawal methods the site lists.
- Tickets and prizes. How the site shows that an entry was bought for you, such as a scan of the official ticket, and how it pays winnings.
- Terms. A link to the site's terms, with the fees and limits they set.
- Limits. The responsible gambling tools the site offers, such as deposit limits.
- Countries. The countries the site does not accept players from.
- Price per line. What one line costs at the site against the official ticket price. We are recording these now; until a price is checked, pages show it as not on file.
Where a check is not on file, the review marks it for you to check instead of guessing.
Which sites can be ranked
Only sites that sell at least one lottery appear in our rankings. A site we review that sells no lottery entries keeps its review page but stays off the lists.
The score and the order of a list
Each review carries a score out of 10, set by our editors from the checks above. The order of a list is not always the score order, so read the score, the facts and the reason given for each place, not only the position.
Odds are not part of the score. The odds of a draw are set by the lottery and are the same at every site that sells it. What differs between sites is the price of a line, the fees, how you pay and how prizes are paid.
When pages change
When a review is updated, the facts on every page that shows that site update with it. Each table shows the date its facts were read. If something looks out of date, tell us through the contact page.
How we make money
We earn a commission when a reader opens an account at a site through our links. It costs you nothing extra. How this works is set out in our disclaimer.
What a ranking does not tell you
A high place does not make a lottery line more likely to win, and it does not mean a site is legal where you live. Most lines win nothing, so set a budget before you play. Tools and help are on our responsible gambling page.
Rankings: common questions
Why is a lower-scored site above a higher-scored one?
The order of a list is not always the score order. Each place shows its score and the facts behind it, so you can compare sites on what matters to you.
Why is a site I know missing?
Either we have not reviewed it, or it sells no lottery entries. Only sites that sell at least one lottery appear in our rankings.
How often are the facts updated?
Whenever a review changes. Every table shows the date its facts were read.
