If anyone uses expensive internet 'middlemen to play the Eurolottery. I see Camelot have finally caught up with the 21st Century!!
You can now set up a Direct Debit to play as often as you like.
The only constraints are that you must be in UK to set it up or make changes with a Debit Card.
It also makes it clear on the UK Nat Lottery website that, once set up, you can travel abroad and your games are still valid.
This has been the case for the UK LOTTO for years so I'm surprised they dragged their feet - some legality no doubt.
£M70 next Tuesday - enough for a good night out!!!!!!

So are you saying we can play from TRNC? I have been playing for years through a family member, which works well until I have to settleup my 'investment'! But there is always next week and that large sum of spending moneyh in the offing. Now THAT would keep the local coffee bars going - or ight I try a few more around the world|?

Just been on their website to set up an account but the following came up:-

It looks like you're outside the UK and Isle of Man
To play UK National Lottery games online, you must be a resident of the UK or Isle of Man at all times. You must also be physically located in the UK or Isle of Man when buying a ticket or when setting up or amending a Direct Debit account.

Plus another message on another page says:-

Players must be 16 or over and physically located in the UK or Isle of Man.

So nothing is change.d And that is why my son plays it for me, and I have promised him 10% of the big winnings, so that keeps him on the ball!
