Naughty Lottoland... Remember You're Betting Not Buying A Ticket

Lottoland have been slapped on the wrist and had a radio ad banned by the ASA for implying customers were buying lottery tickets and not betting. The game changing lotto betting operator has become a massive growth success story and takes bets on lotteries around the world

"...with Lottoland you can win the big jackpot for less. Download the app or go to lottoland.co.uk and get your first bet free."

Lottoland felt their mention of 'bet' should make it clear to customers that they weren't actually participating in the lottery itself. However the ASA felt the advert, 'would give consumers the strong impression that the ad was promoting a lottery'.

At ComparetheLotto.com we happily recommend Lottoland, you can read our Lottoland review here. We believe they are a really exciting option for international lottery lovers.

However one of our objectives has been to help educate customers on the different ways to engage with worldwide lotteries. So as a quick reminder; let's say you're a UK resident and decide you want to engage with the Irish Lotto.

Your options:

1. Pack your suitcase and move to the Emerald Isle and pick up a weekly ticket in the local Centra. (Pretty drastic!).
2. Buy a ticket through a ticket holding company like Win Trillions (Decent option but you'll pay extra).
3. Bet on 1-5 numbers being drawn through one of the big online bookmakers (Really popular option as you can get a whopping £675 for a £1 bet on 3 numbers with Betfred!).
4. Place a fixed odds bet on 6 numbers through Lottoland (It's cheaper for the Irish lotto and the prize is the same! They insure the jackpot pay outs rather than pay winnings from ticket sales
