Mid-customer service & slow withdrawal processing times

UPDATED REVIEW
So thelotter got in touch with me a few hours after I posted here and they apologised, explained why they took a while to process my transaction and processed it!
Good company, good people! Below is my original review

I have been using thelotter.com for 2 years now and I initially gave them a 5 star rating but I am changing my rating to 2 stars because I withdrew money on the 27th of November and today is the 3rd of December but the money hasn't reflected. I engaged with support/live chat but even that isn't working properly. Everytime I open a chat and explain my situation I have to wait 20 mins or more to get a response (which is understandable if there busy) but I expect to log back in to find a solution or an answer to my problem. On the contrary I always find a new chat asking me what they can help me with and then I have to explain myself again and wait another 20 mins to a new chat. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! Why has it taken my withdrawal so long? What happens when one wins a large amount of money if small amounts can take a week?

Hello Chisha,

Thank you for your review, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

After checking your case, please note that we have received your request and it has been processed. Keep in mind that once a withdrawal is requested, it can take 3 to 5 working days to be reflected on your card.

We do our utmost to process withdrawal requests as quickly as possible; however, due to the recent large Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots, we have encountered some delays in the process.

We are thankful for your patience and understanding.

If our assistance through the Trustpilot platform was helpful, we kindly ask you to consider updating your review and rating. This will not only help us improve our services but also enhance the experience for all users.

Subject: Urgent: Pending $100 Withdrawal – Immediate Action Required

Hello,

I am extremely disappointed that my $100 withdrawal request has been pending for almost a week without any update or payment. This delay is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the reliability of your service.

Please review my account immediately and ensure the payment is processed without any further delay. If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate it publicly and report it through the appropriate consumer protection channels.

I expect confirmation of payment within the next 24 hours.

Regards,
Karl Robert

did not pay me a prize and I canceled…

did not pay me a prize and I canceled my ticket after the draw, with a small prize but, I should have made the money back before the draw, I do not trust in that company be very careful

1-Subject: Formal Complaint – Breach of Trust and Negligent Conduct by TheLotter

Dear Monica and TheLotter Team,

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and to formally denounce the irresponsible and negligent conduct demonstrated by your company in relation to the cancellation of my lottery ticket after the official Mega Millions draw had already taken place.

Your response, while acknowledging the facts, fails to address the serious breach of duty and trustthat this situation represents. Below, I will outline the key points that substantiate my formal complaint:

Unlawful and Unacceptable Cancellation Post-Draw:
Cancelling a customer’s lottery entry after the draw constitutes a clear act of negligence and bad faith. Once a draw has been held, tickets are legally and ethically considered final. Any post-draw cancellation undermines the fundamental trust that consumers place in online lottery platforms and could be perceived as a potential fraudulent or deceptive commercial practice.
Failure to Refund in a Timely Manner:
The refund was processed only after the draw took place, depriving me of any opportunity to purchase tickets elsewhere. This delay demonstrates operational negligence and a breach of your obligation to act with reasonable diligence and care when managing customers’ funds and entries.
Inadequate Remedy and Disregard for Consumer Rights:
A mere apology is not an adequate remedy for an incident that directly impacts the consumer’s legitimate expectations. This situation is not a minor technical issue — it reflects a systemic operational failure that exposes your clients to financial and emotional loss.
Hypothetical Winning Scenario and Potential Fraud:
The implications of this behavior are severe. Had the canceled ticket contained winning numbers, your company’s after-the-fact cancellation could be interpreted as fraudulent conduct or a misappropriation of potential winnings. Such an event would severely damage not only your reputation but could also give rise to legal claims for damages and compensation.
Lack of Effective Regulatory Oversight:
The absence of a clear and transparent channel for submitting formal complaints to the relevant gaming authorities (such as the Malta Gaming Authority, under which you are registered) raises significant concerns about accountability and consumer protectionwithin your operation.
Your own response confirms that the cancellation occurred post-draw, thereby acknowledging the veracity of my claim. This admission establishes the existence of a serious operational and ethical failure that cannot be excused by labeling it as “exceptional.”

In light of the above, I reserve my right to escalate this matter to consumer protection agencies, gaming regulators, and public review platforms to ensure transparency and prevent other consumers from being exposed to similar risks.

This incident demonstrates a breach of trust, negligence, and misleading commercial conduct, which are incompatible with the responsibilities of a company operating in the international gaming sector.

For the sake of transparency and consumer integrity, I strongly recommend that potential players avoid using TheLotter’s services until the company can guarantee full compliance, accountability, and operational reliability.

Sincerely,

Eddy Barquero

Dear Eddy,

Thank you for using our services, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused while using our website.

Please note that due to an unforeseen operational issue, we were unable to complete the purchase of your entry in time for the Mega Millions draw. This is a rare event that can occasionally occur in our line of business. When such a situation arises, we always delete the affected tickets prior to the draw and refund the full amount of the purchase to your account.

Your account has already been refunded accordingly.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and wish to emphasize that this is a highly exceptional occurrence and not characteristic of our systems. We have sent you an email to your personal address with a bit more of information.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can assist you further in this or any other matter — our team is always happy to help via email.

If our assistance was helpful, we kindly ask you to consider updating your review.
