[Updated] Unable to withdraw winnings - Deceptive support behavior
Update: The withdrawal was completed by the lottery team, and they also responded to my questions regarding the bug on their platform. They confirmed that the actual limit for my payment method is $1 USD. The support team was fast and polite, but only after I posted a comment on Trustpilot.
-----------------
The problem I had:
I won $20 in a lottery game, but I am unable to withdraw the funds. The app claims I haven't selected a payment method, yet there is no option or select box provided to do so, despite my account already having all available payment methods for my country registered.
When I contacted support, a representative named Arthur claimed there is a $50 minimum withdrawal limit. However, I have reviewed the Terms of Use and found no mention of such a rule. When I asked for clarification, he abruptly ended the chat and blocked further communication. This is unacceptable service and feels like a deceptive practice.

Thank you to the The Lotter team... I'll continue playing until I hit a jackpot and get rich... I'm in the game!

Piggy Bank Scratch Card Bug 25 tickets unusable
I've already emailed TheLotter about my concerns but I received a response. I purchased 25 Piggy Bank Scratch Cards. But when I tried playing, it says "Unexpected Error". I already used two devices. First is my mobile phone then next is my PC but is still the same result.
You updated the interface.

The issue above has been resolved. Although it took them about three weeks to resolve, it did eventually.
I always thought that buying credits would on the site would enable a user to have a quicker resolution by returning it as credits as well, so it can be utilized for other games instead. Please do improve on you process.
Thank you again for resolving this matter.

I was not receiving notices on my email for the lotteries I purchased nor the results, after lodging a complaint I immediately received details of my recent purchase. Thank you Lotter for your immediate reaction and solving the problem.

How come most countries ban TheLotter
How come most countries ban TheLotter? Is it because you provide illegal services that are actually not officially allowed? That is after all the reason why most countries ban TheLotter.
Hopefully more countries will ban TheLotter because of illegal services.

Deposit Failures & Zero Communication
At first, everything worked smoothly, but over time several issues began to arise. The first concern was the increase in the minimum deposit from $5 to $10, which was implemented without any prior communication. When I contacted customer support, the representative seemed uncertain and could only say that it “might” be true. I chose to overlook this at the time.
More recently, I have been unable to make any deposits for several weeks. I previously used Skrill, but it is no longer available as a payment option. After reaching out to support again, I was told there are ongoing issues with deposits and that their technical team is working on resolving them. I waited a few days before trying again, but the problem persists.
While I could understand a temporary issue lasting a day or two, experiencing the same problem for over two weeks is unacceptable.

First name edit
I was concerned that if ever I win big, I might find it difficult to collect if my first name in the Personal Info in the website is not the same with what is indicated in my passport so I wrote about it. The response was quick and the correction was made and some clarifications were cleared.

I am interested to purchase the US Powerball ticket through TheLotter site online from overseas. However when I googled the Powerball.com, it said Powerball tickets cannot be purchased through the internet. It further said if you buy Powerball tickets through the internet and won, you won't be paid. I'm a bit confused so please clarify on that. Thank you. Ismael
