Online lottery in Italy: questions
Which lottery sites accept players from Italy?
We list the lottery sites we rank whose terms accept players from Italy, in order of our score. A site whose terms exclude Italy is left out. Sites change their country lists, so check again when you sign up. How we score sites is on how we rank.
Is it legal to play the lottery online from Italy?
The status we hold for online lottery in Italy is Legal. The rules sit in the Decreto legislativo 25 marzo 2024, n. 41 – Disposizioni in materia di riordino del settore dei giochi, a partire da quelli a distanza, in force from 2024-04-04. Read our guide to buying lottery tickets online for sign-up and ID checks before you buy.
What currency will I pay in from Italy?
Italy uses the Euro. Draws from the US, such as Powerball and Mega Millions, set their prices and prizes in US dollars, so the exchange rate changes what a line costs you and what a prize is worth.
Does the site I buy from change my odds?
No. The odds are set by the draw, not by the site. What differs between sites is the price per line and the fees, so compare those rather than the jackpot. Most lines win nothing; see responsible gambling for limits and help.
Who do I complain to if a site does not pay?
Every site we rank shows the licence it holds. A complaint about a payment or a prize goes to the site first, then to the body that licenses it, so check that licence before you deposit.
How old do I have to be to play the lottery online in Italy?
The minimum age for online gambling in Italy is 18. A site may set a higher age, so check its terms. Our lottery scams guide shows how to spot a fake site before you hand over ID.
Where can new players learn the basics?
Start with how to play the lottery, then read the lottery payout options guide before you claim a prize.
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.
