Participating in some of the on-line lottos is a great way to play the lottery and have the chance to win some cash without needing to leave the comfort of your own home. But in terms of gambling web pages, you will discover several that are rather questionable and downright suspicious. Prior to deciding to hand over your credit card number to purchase online lotto tickets from just any website, here are a few things you should to know that will help you remain safe while playing the lotto online:

Only purchase lotto tickets from web sites you trust. In the event that you are not familiar with a particular lotto website, do-your-homework to make certain it's legitimate. This means reading through any privacy policies or terms of service the site may have posted and if necessary, contacting the site directly (via email or toll-free telephone number) to make certain it really is a valid lotto website.

Unfortunately, there's absolutely no "Better Business Bureau" specifically for online lotto sites. On the other hand, with just a little effort, you may determine if a web page is legitimate or not simply by searching online for reviews of that website. Additionally, there are several online forums where online lotto participants can speak with one another and report issues or issues with certain lottery website sites. Due diligence will go a considerable way to be certain you are not ripped off by a shady, disreputable website.

Always keep your account information and password privately. Never disclose it to anyone (especially over the net) and pick a password that might be challenging for others to guess.

After logging in and purchasing online lotto tickets, ensure you log out of your account, especially if you are using a public computer.

Make certain you abide by all rules and regulations of the site. On many lotto sites, participants has to be at least 18 years old to buy tickets.
