Participating in several of the on-line lottos is a great way to play the lottery as well as have the possibility to win some money without needing to leave the comfort of your own home. But with regards to gambling web pages, there are several that will be rather questionable and downright suspicious. Before you decide to hand over your credit-card number to purchase online lotto tickets from just any website, here are a few things you should to learn that can help you stay safe while playing the lotto online:

Only purchase lotto tickets from sites you trust. In case you are not familiar with a particular lotto website, research your options to make sure it is legitimate. It indicates reading through any privacy policies or terms of service the web page may have posted and if necessary, contacting the website directly (via e-mail or toll-free telephone number) to make sure that it's a valid lotto website.

Unfortunately, there's no "Better Business Bureau" specifically for online lotto sites. In contrast, with a little effort, you can determine if a site is legitimate or not simply by searching online for reviews of that website. There are also several online forums where online lotto participants can speak with one another and report issues or issues with certain lottery sites. Due diligence can go a very long way to ensure 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 web) and pick a password that might be challenging for others to guess.

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

Make sure you abide by all rules and regulations of the website. On many lotto sites, participants has to be at least 18 years of age to purchase tickets.
