About Us
CasinoRank compares and ranks online casino and betting platforms across different categories and markets. Our work focuses on how platforms operate in practice and how players interact with them over time. LottoRanker is part of the CasinoRank network and focuses specifically on online lottery sites. We built LottoRanker for players in South Africa who want clarity in a space that is often fragmented and difficult to navigate. Lottery platforms vary widely in structure, ticket handling, and access to draws. Our role is to organize that information and present it in a way that makes those differences easier to understand for every local punter.
Why South African punters trust our reviews
We follow the same review approach across all markets and lottery platforms we cover. This keeps information consistent and avoids shifting standards from one site to another. When reviewing lottery sites, we look at how platforms perform in real use — including game access, ticket purchasing flow, payments like Ozow and EasyEFT, customer support, and overall reliability. These are the elements that tend to shape the player experience over time. You can read more about our approach on our How We Review page.

Our process for ranking the best online lotto sites
We rank lottery sites using a structured framework that combines automated data collection with manual review. Our internal systems gather information on lottery games, jackpots, availability, and regional access in South Africa, which helps maintain consistency across markets. This data is reviewed alongside hands-on checks of usability, payments, and overall platform behavior. Each site is assessed using the same criteria, allowing rankings to remain clear and comparable over time. For a full breakdown of the methodology, you can read more on our How We Rank page.
Our History
CasinoRank began as a project focused on bringing structure to online gambling content across different categories. Over time, the platform expanded into multiple verticals, applying the same review principles across each area. As interest in online lottery platforms grew, LottoRanker was launched as a dedicated vertical. Since then, coverage has expanded across lottery providers and regions using the same consistent review approach.
