Betting at LottoStar

LottoStar operates as a fixed‑odds betting site, fully licensed and regulated by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator, offering a legal and secure environment for placing bets in South Africa. Players can bet on a variety of games—including slotteries, live casino titles, arcade games, quick games, and international lottery outcomes (e.g., EuroMillions, SuperEnaLotto)—all using a pre-agreed fixed odds model.

For live game titles like Football Studio, players can place sports-style bets with stakes starting from as little as R10, with potential payouts up to R72,500. Additionally, live shows such as Crazy Time and MONOPOLY Live also fall under fixed‑odds betting where stakes begin from R1.

LottoStar also provides betting on international lotteries by letting players bet on results rather than purchasing tickets—this is legal under South Africa’s betting laws, as these are considered fixed-odds wagers.
