Foreword

Please read these terms and conditions (or “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using our Website. By registering on the Website or by visiting the Player Account, Players accept and agree to these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy. The Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy are published on the Website and may be changed at any time. The new version of these Terms and Conditions will take effect immediately upon the next visit or login on the Website.

UK Players will be notified through the Website prior to their next login or via email when material changes are made. The new version of these Terms and Conditions will take effect immediately upon the next visit or login on the Website or as otherwise notified within the notification.

The Website enables Players to
a. place Bets on the results of official or state-run lotteries such as the American MUSL Powerball, the pan-European DLTB Eurojackpot and many others as well as on global Financial Market data such as the New York Stock Exchange; and
b. to participate in Instant Win Games operated by EU Lotto.

Brazilian Players only:
For Brazilian Players, the Website only enables Players to submit ticket orders related to official or state-run lotteries such as the American MUSL Powerball, the pan-European LAE Euromillions and many others ("Ticket Order Service"). Lottoland can in its sole discretion and on behalf of the Player act as an agent and decide to either (i) directly or indirectly engage local representatives to purchase an actual lottery ticket or (ii) put the Player in a position as if they had played the underlying lottery as per the below Terms and Conditions.

Parties

“EU Lotto” – EU Lotto Ltd, a company which is officially licenced by the Government of Gibraltar to accept Bets on lotteries (licence number RGL 066) and to offer instant win products (including but not limited to casino-style games and scratchcards) (licence number RGL 085). EU Lotto is also officially licensed by the UK Gambling Commission to offer Remote General Betting Standard - Real Event and Casino activities under licence number 38991. EU Lotto’s registered company number is 109514 (REID GICO 109514-83).

“Lottoland” – Lottoland Ltd, a company founded and incorporated with Companies House (registered company number 109495) and based in Gibraltar (registered office address: Office Suite A, Ocean Village Promenade).

Roles of Lottoland and EU Lotto

Lottoland is responsible for the operation of the Website, the Player Accounts, the placing of Bets with EU Lotto, the organisation of purchases of Instant Win Games (see Foreword b.), the forwarding of the Players’ stakes to EU Lotto and the forwarding of Winnings from EU Lotto to the Players within the scope of these Terms and Conditions. When placing Bets in Gibraltar, Lottoland acts in the name and on behalf of the Player.

EU Lotto acts as a bookmaker, determines the odds, calculates the Winnings and is responsible for the payment of Winnings and pays out the Winnings in Gibraltar to Lottoland for distribution to Players. Through complex hedging measures and instruments (both financial instruments and the purchase of actual entries into the underlying lotteries), EU Lotto guarantees the payout of all Winnings.

EU Lotto also conducts own lottery-style draws using the certified random number generator “RiNG”.

a. When submitting a Bet on the outcome of draws of lotteries (conducted by official and/or state-run lotteries and/or by EU Lotto) or Financial Market data, the Player instructs Lottoland to forward the Bet to EU Lotto for and on the Player’s behalf. EU Lotto will then act as a bookmaker for the Player.
b. When ordering an EU Lotto virtual Instant Win Game participation ("IWG participation"), the Player instructs Lottoland to purchase an IWG participation from EU Lotto. Lottoland will then act as IWG participation intermediary for the Player and EU Lotto will act as IWG participation operator for the Player.

Contracts – Bets on Lotteries

When placing a Bet on lotteries, the Player enters two contracts:

a. At the time of registration or placement of an order, the Player enters a contract with Lottoland in relation to the use of the Website, the set up and the management of their Player Account, the placing of Bets for and on their behalf with EU Lotto in Gibraltar, the payment of the Player’s Stakes to EU Lotto and the payout of Winnings received from EU Lotto to the Player, which all take place in Gibraltar.
b. When Lottoland places a Bet with EU Lotto for and on their behalf, the Player enters a contract with EU Lotto. That contract regulates the terms and conditions for all Bets placed, the rules of the games offered by EU Lotto as well as the payout of Winnings

Contracts – Instant Win Games

When purchasing an IWG participation, the Player also enters two contracts:

a. At the time of registration or placement of an order, the Player enters a free contract with Lottoland in relation to the use of the Website, the set up and the management of their Player Account, the execution of the instruction to acquire an IWG participation on their behalf at EU Lotto, the payment of the purchase price to EU Lotto and the Winnings back to them.
b. When participating in an Instant Win Game, the Player buys a chance of winning from EU Lotto, the prizes for which are guaranteed by EU Lotto.

Stakes and Fees

For Bets and IWG participations, the Player pays Lottoland a stake which is fully claimed by EU Lotto and therefore fully forwarded from Lottoland to EU Lotto. The player does not have to pay any fees for Lottoland’s services.

By providing this data the Player grants Lottoland permission to verify the data provided, including the verification of their age, directly through Lottoland or through specialised third party providers. Lottoland is not responsible for failure of payout due to non-provision of data by the Player, or the provision of missing, incorrect, incomplete or expired data. Lottoland is under no obligation to verify any data provided or to make contact with a Player to complete or change incorrect, incomplete or invalid data.

The order receipt confirmation sent by email or the status “Submitted” or a status with an identical meaning only indicate that Lottoland has received the order for a Bet, not that it has been accepted.

3. Placing of Bets

3.1.

3.2.
After the Player has filled out the Virtual Play Slip, it is transferred to the Player’s shopping basket.

4.7.
In case a payment to Lottoland from a Player Account of a Player is ceased, interrupted, returned or for any other reasons not finalised or in case that such payment is cancelled afterwards or theft or fraud is obvious in this regard, Lottoland shall be entitled to debit the relevant amounts including possibly existing additional fees imposed to Lottoland.

4.8.

4.11.
The credited amount deposited by the Player and the payable credit balance on the Player Account respectively are held in a bank account in the name of Lottoland and are not subject to any particular escrow or mechanisms for protection in the event of insolvency. This does not apply to Players residing in the United Kingdom, where Player funds are held in a separate account.

UK Players only
From time to time Lottoland may hold a Player’s funds to the credit of that Player. Player’s Funds include, without limitation, cleared funds deposited with Lottoland by Players to provide stakes in, or to meet participation fees in respect of, future gambling.

Lottoland is required by its licence to inform Players about what happens to monies which Lottoland holds on account for them, and the extent to which such monies are protected in the event of insolvency: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-the-public/Your-rights/Protection-of-customer-funds.aspx.

All Player Funds of UK resident Players will be held in accounts separate from business accounts. However, Player Funds may still form part of the assets of the business in the event of insolvency and therefore categorised as not protected.

4.12.
Lottoland is entitled to debit the Player Account with appropriate expenses which refer to the costs incurred by Lottoland because of the execution of assignments from a Player or the execution of an order.

4.13.
Winnings are tax-free or non-taxable in many countries. The Player is primarily responsible for correct payment of taxes, duties and levies.

4.14.
Lottoland shall be entitled to deem a Player Account as inactive if more than one year has passed since the last stake transaction of the Player. Lottoland will notify the Player once their account is deemed as inactive.

Non-UK Players only
If the Player Account is still deemed as inactive 30 days after the notification, a monthly inactive account fee of 5.00 EUR (or equivalent currency) shall be payable (“Inactive Acount Fee”). The Inactive Account Fee will be deducted from the Player Account balance until the earlier of: (a) the Player Account balance being reduced to zero; or (b) the Player Account being reactivated by the Player using the Player Account to carry out betting activity. In each situation the Inactive Account Fee shall cease to be deducted.

UK Players only
A Player Account still deemed as inactive 30 days after the notification incurs a monthly administrative fee of 5.00 GBP. Lottoland is entitled to deduct this monthly administrative fee in its sole discretion until there is a new stake transaction on the Player Account. The monthly administrative fee only applies to Player Accounts with a balance.


5. Rights of Lottoland

5.1.
Lottoland shall be entitled to suspend the relevant Player Accounts and Players from the use of the Website with immediate effect, if Lottoland believes that a Player does not or did not meet the requirements named in these Terms and Conditions.

5.3.
Should Lottoland determine that the event giving rise to suspension has occurred, Lottoland will be entitled to terminate the Player Account in question permanently and may choose to do so once any outstanding Stakes associated with that Player Account for future Bets and/or Instant Win Games expire or otherwise may at its discretion authorise EU Lotto to void such Bets or any IWG participations issued or played. If the Stake was placed by a Player under 18 years of age, Lottoland shall authorise EU Lotto to void the relevant Bets and any IWG participations in which case the Stake (if returned by EU Lotto to Lottoland) will be returned from Lottoland to that person's Bank Account and the Player Account will be closed.

5.4.
Should Lottoland determine that such a breach has not occurred, the suspension of the Player Account will be brought to an end.

5.5.
If Lottoland terminates a Player's use of the Website for any other reason, Lottoland will notify the relevant Player by email using the email address provided to Lottoland.

SECOND SECTION – SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EU LOTTO

10. Bets

10.1.
EU Lotto will accept Bets placed with it by Lottoland on behalf of the Player, if instructions to place those Bets have been actioned by the Player and those Bets have been placed with it by Lottoland.

Any reference in this section of the Terms and Conditions to a Player shall mean a Player acting through Lottoland as their intermediary.

EU Lotto is not a lottery operator. With EU Lotto, Players are placing Bets on the results of the draws of official and/or state-run lotteries and/or lottery-style draws using the RiNG technology and/or on certain Financial Market data.

10.2.
At least one Bet per Virtual Play Slip has to be filled in. Every Bet is classified either as a separate Bet (“Normal Bet”) or as a combination of Bets (“System Bet”). In a System Bet, all possible combinations of the selected numbers are considered Normal Bets.

10.3.
Only the first player to choose the NumberShield option for a particular set of numbers will be entitled to the NumberShield. Only one player may enable NumberShield for a particular combination.

10.4.
Depending on the selected EU Lotto game the Player may place a Bet for a certain duration (“Duration Bets”) and also extend the duration automatically (Subscription). Stakes for Duration Bets will be debited by pre-payment at the beginning of the relevant duration for all relevant Betting Events for the selected duration.

10.5.
The Player may automatically extend Bets by selecting the “Subscription” option. Depending on the selected EU Lotto game the player may select a renewal period from 1 to 52 weeks. After this Subscription period has elapsed the Bets are renewed automatically for the selected period for withdrawal, if no notice of cancellation was received via the Player Account. The cancellation of a Subscription must be received by 23:59h of the day prior to the day the period for withdrawal ends. Stakes for following Duration Bets will be debited by pre-payment for every following period for withdrawal.

10.6.
By choosing the option “JackpotHunt” the Player may automatically extend the Virtual Play Slip until the Jackpot in respect to the underlying lottery of the relevant EU Lotto game has been won. The period for withdrawal encloses only the next Betting Event date.

10.7.
The deadline for betting on a Betting Event will be posted on the Website.

Valid Bets will be placed on the next relevant Betting Event that takes place, provided that they are placed before the respective deadline and provided that the Player has not selected something else on purpose. The deadline will be displayed on the Website. It is up to the Player to ensure that instructions are given to place the Bet before the relevant deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, instructions to place or the apparent placement of a Bet after the start of a specific Betting Event or a Betting Event that has actually occurred will not be valid, irrespective of any automatic confirmation, that may be generated via email or the Website, or irrespective of a wrong deadline displayed on the Website.

10.8.
The “When Jackpot is” feature will set Bets to enter/play a particular EU Lotto game only if the announced jackpot for the Betting Event has reached or exceeded the specified “When Jackpot is” amount for the relevant Betting Event.

10.9.
If a lottery draw does not take place or no draw result is published or officially announced, all valid Bets on that Betting Event will stand for the rescheduled draw (or, if there is none, the next available relevant draw) other than in respect of valid Bets placed on (i) El Gordo Primitiva where all valid Bets will stand and the Underlying Lottery will be replaced with a lottery-style draw using the RiNG technology that will take place at the same time as the official and/or state-run lottery draw was scheduled to take place, in this case El Gordo de la Primitiva or (ii) SuperEnalotto, where all valid Bets will stand for the draw of SuperEnalotto GO (using the certified random number generator “RiNG”) that takes place either at the same time as the original draw or, if none, the next available SuperEnalotto GO draw.

10.10.
Other than in respect of Daily Millions, in the event that not all Financial Market data required to determine the Betting Event winning number is available, the Financial Market data of the next day with all required Financial Market data being available will be used (example: there is no opening value due to a public holiday on Friday. In this case Monday’s opening values will be used).

Other than in respect of Daily Millions, if Financial Market data of a day with an originally scheduled Betting Event is used for a previously scheduled Betting Event, the Financial Market data of the next day (with all required Financial Market data being available) will be used for that originally scheduled Betting Event (example: for a Betting Event originally scheduled for Wednesday and Friday there are no opening values for Wednesday and Thursday due to public holidays. In this case, Friday’s opening values will be used for the Betting Event originally scheduled for Wednesday and Monday’s opening values will be used for the Betting Event originally scheduled for Friday).

This only applies to Betting Events of the same kind (example: US Millions can use Friday’s opening values only once. If Friday’s opening values are used for the Betting Event originally scheduled for Wednesday, Monday’s opening values will be used for the Betting Event originally scheduled for Friday).

With respect to Daily Millions, in the event that not all Financial Market data required to determine the Betting Event winning number is available, the Betting Event will be moved to the next day with all required Financial Market data being available will be used with subsequent Betting Events being moved accordingly.

10.11.
All Financial Market data will be taken directly from Bloomberg other than if the Financial Market opening values, required to determine the Betting Event winning number, matches the closing value of the previous day on which the Financial Market data was available (“Stale Pricing”). In such event, the Financial Market data from the original source will be used provided there is no Stale Pricing at that level (example: if, pursuant to the data in Bloomberg, at least one of Friday’s opening values for the NASDAQ equals Thursday’s closing value then we shall use the Friday opening values directly from the NASDAQ if these are different from Thursday’s closing values directly from the NASDAQ).

Other than in respect of Daily Millions, in the event of Stale Pricing with Bloomberg and with the original source, then the Financial Market data of the next day on which all the required Financial Market data is available will be used (example: at least one of Friday’s opening values equals Thursday’s closing value. In this case Monday’s opening values will be used provided they are different to Thursday’s closing value. However, if Monday’s opening values are equal to Thursday’s closing value then we will turn to the next day until we have an opening value that is different to Thursday’s closing value).

With respect to Daily Millions only, in the event of Stale Pricing with Bloomberg and with the original source, then the Betting Event will be moved to the next day with all required Financial Market data being available with subsequent Betting Events being moved accordingly (example: at least one of Friday’s opening values equals Thursday’s closing value. In this case Monday’s opening values will be used provided they are different to Thursday’s closing value. In this case, the next Daily Millions Betting Event will be Tuesday and therefore all Bets placed after Friday’s opening values are published will be moved to the next day with all required Financial Market data being available, namely Tuesday, provided that Tuesday’s opening values are different to Monday’s closing value. However, if at least one of Friday’s opening values equals Thursday’s closing value and Monday’s opening values are equal to Thursday’s closing value then we will turn to the next day until we have an opening value that is different to Thursday’s closing value).

10.12.
EU Lotto endeavours to ensure that all the jackpot values for Betting Events offered on the Website are correct, but assumes no responsibility for errors contained in such information. EU Lotto estimates the amount of future jackpots using certain assumptions, such as the current or future jackpot being won or rolled over, but is not liable for false assumptions, calculations or forecasts.

10.13.
Instead of using financial instruments to guarantee the payout of the jackpots and Winnings offered on the Website, EU Lotto may also purchase actual entries into underlying lotteries on behalf of the Player. EU Lotto may require winners for such entries to collect prizes directly from the Underlying Lottery Operator. In the event that Winnings for such entries incur any taxes, duties or levies, these are to be borne by the Player. Under no circumstances EU Lotto shall have any obligation to pay the Player an amount an Underlying Lottery Operator may fail to pay the Player in connection with any Winnings for such entries.

10.14.

SpecialJackpots
For all games, EU Lotto has the possibility to announce a SpecialJackpot under its sole discretion. In this case, the SpecialJackpot sum announced replaces any Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Type A Prize Category.

10.16.
Only one Prize Category can be won per Normal Bet, which will be the highest of the available Prize Categories achieved by, and relevant to, that Bet. A System Bet can win in more than one Prize Category, based on the separate Bets it is made of.

10.17.
Syndicates
Winnings for EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bets are calculated in three steps:

Step 1 – Calculation of Total Syndicate Winnings:
Total Syndicate Winnings = The sum of all Winnings for all EU Lotto Winning Bets forming part of the Syndicate. The Winnings are calculated as per clause 11 of these Terms and Conditions

Step 2 – Calculation of Syndicate Fraction:
Syndicate Fraction = Number of Shares bought by the Player / Total of Shares advertised for the relevant Syndicate

Step 3 – Calculation of Winnings for this EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bet:
Winnings for this EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bet = Total Syndicate Winnings * Syndicate Fraction

Example 1: There is an EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bet with Total Syndicate Winnings of 90,000,000.00 EUR. The Syndicate Fraction is 1 of 9. The Winnings for this EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bet are 10,000,000.00 EUR.

Example 2: There is an EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bet with Total Syndicate Winnings of 30,000,000.00 EUR. The Syndicate Fraction is 3 of 25. The Winnings for this EU Lotto Syndicate Winning Bet are 3,600,000.00 EUR.

10.18.
Winnings are calculated and credited in EUR. The exchange rate used is the European Central Bank Euro foreign exchange reference rate published for the relevant date on the ECB website or (if European Central Bank Euro foreign exchange rate is not available) the spot rate of exchange (the closing midpoint) for that currency into EUR on the respective draw date as published on oanda.com. This also applies for annuity payments. However, EU Lotto may, in its sole discretion, chose to calculate and credit Winnings in the currency in which the Bet was placed.

10.19.
EU Lotto will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that all displayed information and results on the Website are correct.

10.20.
EU Lotto will not be liable for any mistakes in respect to the information displayed.

11. Winnings for Bets on Lotteries

11.1.
EU Lotto calculates the Winnings for each Bet. The calculation is different per Underlying Lottery and Prize Category, the following table "EU Lotto Game Overview" explains how each Prize Category can be achieved and which calculation method applies for it.
