Review of games, promos and Bonuses

Promocodes, discounts and vouchers
When navigating the site, there didn’t appear to be any special promos or discounts on offer. The primary punt on Africa Lotto is to play lottery, instant win games, sports lottery and scratch card games.

Popular Lottery Games
There isn’t a particular lottery that stands out on this site. They give equal shout-outs to Fast Lotto, Bonus Lotto, Lucky Numbers and Power Play, as well as soccer betting and their instant win and scratch card games.

Security, Trust and Scams

This is a little sketchy. Despite being in operation for many years, mention of being owned by a trust and their active social media accounts, their terms and conditions are lacking – there is no mention of deposit and withdrawal policies which is concerning. In addition, there is also no sign of any official gaming or governmental body on the site.

Does LottoGuardian trust this lotto?
Uh, nope. However, there are some positive reviews floating around and they have been operating for a long time. So, it may be worth a try, but proceed with caution.

Lotto Review on Pay-Outs, Withdrawals, and Winners
We were unable to find any comprehensive information on their pay-out procedures. That’s enough of a reason to put us off. If you’re in it for the money, surely highlighting these procedures should be prioritised?

Customer Support
Customer support is comprehensive in terms of an email address supplied and several toll-free numbers. However, it is thin in terms of instant replies. A chat message can be sent on the website, but you’ll need to return for the reply. In this day and age, instant response is what we’re accustomed to, so for us it knocks their customer service down a few rungs.

Overall thoughts and experience
There aren’t any international lotteries available, so if you’re not from Zimbabwe you’re not in the game. It’s a pleasant enough user experience, but the nagging basicness awoke my no-go gut feel. It just doesn’t feel reliable enough. The lack of credibility pops up in several areas, like the lack of pay-out policies and any elaboration around the official organisations that oversee them. But, in order to
give a balanced review, We must say that the games do seem appealing and might be exactly what the local market wants. Just proceed with caution before throwing too much money their way.

    Is this site even legal? I can’t find anything on any authority overseeing this site and what they do and do with our information. Warning signs!

    Part of me took one look at this article and wondered about how real it is. Then I talked to a couple of friends and they said it is for real. The fact that it can be played on an app and not just on a computer makes it easy. I know the jackpot amount doesn’t compare to some of the other lotteries around the world – but it would be good money for me!
