Participating in some of the on-line lottos is a good way to play the lottery online as well as have the chance to win some money without having to leave the comfort of your own home. But in relation to gambling websites, there are several that will be rather questionable and downright suspicious. Before you decide to hand over your bank card number to purchase online lotto tickets from just any website, here are a few things you should to understand that will help you remain safe while playing the lotto online:

Only purchase lotto tickets from websites you trust. If you're not experienced with a particular lotto website, do-your-homework to ensure it really is legitimate. It indicates reading through any privacy policies or terms of service the website may have posted and if necessary, contacting the web 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. 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. Additionally there are several online forums where online lotto participants can speak with one another and report issues or problems with certain lottery websites. Due diligence will go a 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 net) and pick a password that would be hard for others to guess.

After logging in and purchasing online lotto tickets, make sure 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 website. On many lotto sites, participants must be at least 18 years old to buy tickets.
