Review: Lottoland’s New Mobile App

It might seem a little bizarre to be betting on lottery numbers, but one company is hoping to change perceptions and make it easier for people to play lottos held around the world without having to move there.

Lottoland allows its customers to place bets on the outcome of big-money lotteries and pays out similar-sized jackpots if any of their players correctly predict the winning numbers.

Lottoland is seeking to change the way people play the lottery, with no geographic restrictions as to which lotto jackpots you can bet on. Rather than buying lottery tickets from a licensed vendor, such as a supermarket or convenience store, Lottoland’s app allows its customers to bet on the outcome of the lottery numbers instead.

Whether it’s the US Powerball, the EuroMillions or the Brazilian Mega-Sena, or any particular lottery that has a jackpot rollover, players can win life-changing sums of cash without the need for a physical lottery ticket in their hand.

The development of Lottoland’s new app, available on smartphone and tablet devices including iPads, iPhones and Android phones and tablets, gives players added convenience to be able to bet on the winning lotto numbers whenever they want, wherever they are – mobile data or Wi-Fi permitting.

There are one or two minor drawbacks, such as the fact that the app does not cover every single major lottery played around the world. However, there are plenty to get involved in and more could appear over time as the site's popularity and the overall concept gains traction.

Navigation and design

The Lottoland app features an intuitive design that’s on-brand with the main website. Its adoption of strategically positioned drop-down boxes makes it easy for users to find the lotto they wish to bet on. The app is geared to making the betting process as quick and painless as possible. Rather than marking each individual number you wish to bet on like a paper ticket, you can simply tap the numbers on your screen, and choose the amount you wish to bet on the outcome.

Betting information

The app seeks to provide as much information as possible on all lottos. From previous winning numbers to current jackpot totals, players are given a clear perspective on each individual game and the personality of each lottery.

If time is of the essence, you'll no doubt be interested in Lottoland's 'Bundle' feature, which conveniently displays three available lotteries from around the world to bet on, chosen at random. If you're not fussed about which lottery to bet on, this may be the simplest way for you to use the app.

Exclusive app discounts

Lottoland app users benefit from exclusive discounts on specified lotto games and scratch cards, as well as a new customer bonus on becoming a Lottoland player through the app.

App availability

On the subject of downloading the app, Lottoland is available for free from both Google Play and the App Store.

Note: As the Lottoland app is a real-money gambling app, users are required to be aged 18 years and above to use it. Lottoland also works closely with Gamble Aware to promote responsible gambling across all of its lotteries, instant-win games, and online scratch cards.
