5. Do my lottery numbers change?
Not
normally. However, from time to time, our syndicates become a bit fragmented due to Members coming and going, so we have occasional “housekeeping” periods to tidy them up.
6. Can I choose my numbers?
No. Because of the way our numbers are distributed, we must allocate each syndicate a set of numbers which cannot be changed.
7. When do I start playing?
As soon as you receive an email confirmation that your application has been
accepted (normally within seconds of you submitting your online application
form) you will be playing in the next UK Lotto and/or EuroMillions draw.
Applications accepted before 6.00 pm UK time on the day of a draw will allow you to play in that day’s draw.
8. How long do I play for?
You can play for as short or as long a time as you like. When you join you can
choose to pay every one, two or four weeks in advance. You may then suspend your
subscription at any stage for any length of time.
9. Does a syndicate have to be full before it is entered in
the draws?
No. Any empty places in an e-lottery syndicate will be filled by the company, to ensure that your syndicate’s numbers are always entered in every draw.
10. Do I have to find other members for my syndicate?
No. We manage and fill ALL syndicates, so each of the other places in your syndicate is taken by other members who could be located anywhere in the world.

12. Does VWD Ltd. have a recognised accreditation?
Yes. We are members of the Lotteries Council, an organisation representing the interests of various companies and other bodies engaged in lawful lottery-related activities.
13. What if I miss a subscription payment?
If we do not receive your e-lottery subscription payment on the due date, for whatever reason, unfortunately you will immediately lose your syndicate place. You will be notified of this by email and SMS message to your mobile phone (if we have your mobile phone details).
All credit/debit card transactions, both successful and unsuccessful, are recorded by ourselves and by our Merchant processing bank. If your credit/debit card was not processed successfully and the syndicate from which you were consequently removed goes on to win, we are not liable for paying you winnings. The optional
Entry Protection Deposit (EPD) is there to protect you from this scenario.
14. What is an "Entry Protection Deposit" (EPD)?
This is a deposit which is held in reserve and used only in the event of a payment failure. It secures your syndicate place so you never miss out on a draw should there be a problem processing your credit/debit card, etc.
15. Which currency is used on the e-lottery site?
All transactions are in British pounds sterling (GBP). This includes all initial and ongoing e-lottery subscriptions and payment of winnings. If that isn’t your national currency, an easy-to-use online currency converter is always available via a link on your Member website.
16. How am I notified of my winnings?
All members are notified of a syndicate win by email within hours of each draw regardless of the amount won. Your wins are automatically credited to your online Member Account.
17. How are syndicate winnings divided?
All winnings are divided equally between syndicate members: 49 in UK Lotto syndicates,
39 in EuroMillions syndicates.

Click2Pay or
MoneyBookers.
