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

Only purchase lotto tickets from websites you trust. If you are not experienced with a particular lotto website, research your options to make certain it is legitimate. It indicates reading through any privacy policies or terms of service the website may have posted and if necessary, contacting the website directly (via e-mail or toll-free telephone number) to ensure it really is a valid lotto website.

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no "Better Business Bureau" specifically for online lotto sites. On the flip side, with a little effort, you can determine if a website 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 websites. Due diligence can go a very long way to be sure 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 could be difficult for others to guess.

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

Make sure you abide by all rules and regulations of the web site. On many lotto sites, participants must be at least 18 years old to purchase tickets.
