Hi Prestige,
Thanks for the question! Lottery tickets can only be purchased legally by people residing in the country where the lottery is organised, PlayHugeLottos.com thus purchases all tickets and retains them there locally. The transaction is therefore entirely handled by a legal entity within each country.
When a client orders tickets on the PlayHugeLottos.com sites, they enter into a separate service agreement with them, which is similar to calling a relative or friend in the country where the lottery is taking place and asking that they enter a line on your behalf. You might give your friend the numbers you want, but essentially the ticket is bought by your friend and will have to be claimed by your friend if there are any winnings due.
In summary, a client is therefore not directly taking part in a lottery, but rather ordering a service from PlayHugeLottos – similar to a courier service. That is the arrangement between the client and PlayHugeLottos, which remains separate to the function where the legal entities purchase and hold the lottery tickets. Our opinion is therefore that a US based webmaster would not be breaking any law.
Promoting lottery is pretty different to casino I think. Casino has instant gratification for players which may promote bigger spend whereas with lottery you are selling tickets into draws that happen only a few times a week. That being said, success is certainly possible in terms of financial reward if you manage to get it right. It’s also something that can be offered to casino players as an alternative without cannibalism.
