What's the purpose of lottos.com.au?
lottos.com.au is primarily an online competitions forum that lists any current competitions and offers available in Australia. We have been online since 2000 and are an Australian registered business - we pay tax! (ABN 39 285 612 130)
The lottos forum offers extensive information and opinions on just about anything to do with competitions and is totally addictive and fun to join and use!
Do I have have to become a member?
You can look around the lottos.com.au website, but access to the forum will require you to join.
Joining only takes a few moments and the only info we retain from you is an email address and a member name.
What types of competitions and offers does the lottos.com.au forum list?
lottos.com.au lists all competitions including online competitions, sms competitions, kids competitions, magazine competitions, store competitions, mail in competitions, radio competitions, tv competitions, phone competitions, words or less competitions. Some other sites list a small number of competitions and that is how those sites generate their income - from each competition banner/image you click and join.
What's different about the lottos.com.au forum?
There is a lot of difference. Here are a few points:
- Other competitions sites in Australia generate their income by pushing campaigns from promoters ahead of other competitions and therefore list and promote a small number of competitions. Our income is not derived from promoting a small number of competitions. Being subscription based, we retain independence. The $6 million in competition prize winnings in 2010 by our members proves it's a successful model for our members - and winning competitions is the purpose of entering!
- The lottos.com.au forum lists all competitions, thereby maximising your chances of winning prizes
- lottos.com.au is also extremely innovative with features such as CompTracker (the first ever competitions tagging system which allows you to tag or mark competitions with a tick, cross, question mark and other options). This means that you can keep track of all competitions you have entered or plan to enter
- lottos.com.au also offers Premium reports - over 130 ways to sort and filter your competitions listings
- Members are free to discuss all subjects or topics related to competitions
- You are free to join using any email address you choose whether it's an ISP email or freemail type
- We have exclusive forum member competitions available to members only

I'm getting heaps of emails - why?
If you enter online competitions, you may notice a rise in emails you receive.
lottos.com.au recommends receiving lottos.com.au emails into your main email account, and have another, separate email account from lottos.com.au, my-syte, hotmail, yahoo, or gmail for competitions you enter.
Check your email accounts regularly as you might win a competition and the promoter may only send you an email to let you know as notification you've won a competition.
