Top Online Lottery Platforms by Country 2026
Each country guide lists the lottery sites that accept players from that country, ranked by our score, with the gambling law we hold for it and the questions players there ask.
The board shows our overall top 3. The country list further down shows how many of the sites we rank accept each country. Pick yours before you sign up anywhere.
Every guide follows the same order: access first, then the law we hold, then the sites. Where a rule is unverified, the guide says so rather than guessing.

Lottery sites by country: questions
Why does the list of sites change by country?
Lottery sites set which countries they accept in their terms. We take country access from those terms and leave a site out of a country guide when its terms exclude that country.
Is it legal to buy lottery tickets online from my country?
It depends on the country, and we only state a rule where we have verified it. Each country guide shows the law we hold with its source. Where we have not verified a rule yet, the guide says so; check the law where you live before you buy. For how prizes are taxed, see tax on lottery winnings.
My country has no guide. Can I still play?
Possibly. Read the country list in a site's terms before you register, and check the law where you live. Our how we rank page explains how we score the sites in the overall ranking.
Does the site I buy from change my odds?
No. The odds are set by the draw, not by the site. Compare the price per line and the fees instead, and decide a monthly amount you can lose before you buy. To see how odds compare across games, read the lotto winning odds guide. Help is on responsible gambling.
Where should South African players start?
Start with the guide written for players in your own market. The South Africa guide lists the sites that accept South African players and the law we hold for the country.
Do country guides cover bonuses and how to play?
Country guides focus on access and law. For offers, see our lottery bonuses page, and for the basics of a draw read how to play the lottery. A market guide such as Angola shows how a country page is laid out.
Set the spend before you pick the numbers.
Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
