FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

You cannot bet your own numbers at DLC, as you are participating in a syndicate. All participants in a system are logically involved in the same numbers. The betting combinations for all systems have been created by Rüdiger F. Hoffmann.

We show you the system with all the numbers under MY DLC > Personal area > My drawing game under the participation status.

In order to comply with our duty of care under the Money Laundering Act and the Protection of Minors Act and to ensure that only you receive your winnings, we are obliged to carry out age verification. We require a copy of your identity card for this verification.

The personal data you provide when registering (first and last name, home address, country of residence and date of birth) must match the documents submitted. If you provide us with an identity document that does not show your address, please also send us a current electricity bill or similar. Your participation account will only be activated once your personal data has been fully verified.

All betting lines of the system in which you are participating and which the DLC is betting in the coming game period will be displayed in your participant account immediately after you have ordered your participation. Your numbers can be found under MY DLC > Personal area > My drawing game. You can view your numbers if the participation status is set to Number preview or Confirmation & numbers.

The numbers are valid for the registered draw in the drawing game and for one game period in the monthly game. You will receive the system in written form, i.e. you will receive all the individual picks as you know them from your lottery receipt. Exception: With the full combination system, e.g. 008, you will receive the eight numbers and the paytable, but not the 28 individual picks.

You can always see the results of the hits achieved in the draw game directly after the winning numbers have been published in your personal area under "My drawing game". Your participation status will then have changed from "Number preview" to "Result".

The winning statement that you receive by e-mail depends on the draw day and the publication of the odds. The corresponding settlement days are listed below:

Lotto 6aus49
Wednesday draw: Thursday morning
Saturday draw: Monday morning

EuroMillions
Tuesday draw: Wednesday morning
Friday draw: Saturday morning

EuroJackpot
Friday draw: Saturday morning
Tuesday draw: Wednesday morning

As soon as the winnings have been credited to your DLC account, you can initiate a payout. By clicking on "Withdraw credit" in your DLC account, you can inform us of the desired payout amount.

Lotto 6aus49
Wednesday draw: Winnings credited Thursday morning
Saturday draw: Winnings credited Monday morning

EuroMillions

Drawing game: The drawing game ends with the settlement of the last registered draw and crediting of the winning share to your DLC account. Cancellation is not necessary.

Monthly game: It continues automatically on a monthly basis. You can cancel it at any time up to the 25th of the current month with effect from the end of the month. This can be done informally by telephone, letter or e-mail.

And you can find out how to cancel correctly here: How to cancel correctly >>

Playing responsibly is the motto at DLC. To prevent possible gambling addiction, the maximum monthly wagering amount for each participant is limited to €1,000. This limit refers to the sum of the monthly game plus drawing game participations. Each participant can adjust their personal monthly limit as required.

The limit for direct debit is limited for all new registrations. If you would like to increase this limit, please contact the DLC Service-Center informally.

1st option: You increase your credit balance when you register for participation by increasing the amount to be paid accordingly. This is the quickest way.

2nd option: You transfer the money to the following bank account:.

IMPORTANT: Please indicate the reference of the transfer:
 

Recipient   ELBL
Bank:    ISX Financial EU PLC
IBAN:    CY14904000010000100754801002
BIC:    ISEMCY22

In the drawing game, you select one or up to eight draws in Lotto 6aus49 and/or EuroJackpot and can participate directly with the next draw. The drawing game ends after the last payout.

In the monthly game, you always take part on a monthly basis for one playing period. If you want to register for the monthly game, you can do so until {$ChangeToText} and start with the game period {$StartMonth}. This participation runs until revoked. To terminate the monthly game, you must give notice of termination with effect from the end of the respective month.

1) By direct debit
2) By bank transfer - only for credit replenishment

The drawing game comprises one or up to eight draws per lottery type. If you want to take part in all draws regularly, it is best to choose the monthly game.

No, you do not need to cancel the drawing game. Your drawing game ends automatically after the last draw in which you took part has been settled. Whenever you wish, you can log in with your customer number and take part in one or more draws again.

1. by bank transfer
After receiving the payment request, simply transfer the amount by the specified date.

2. by SEPA direct debit
You decide on which day we should debit your participation fee.
The preferred dates for SEPA direct debit are 2nd, 13th, 18th, 21st, 23rd and 26th of the month.

3. by recurring payment
If the amount to be paid changes, this is not a problem, as your DLC account is managed like a bank account. All participation amounts and winnings are automatically deducted.

In the drawing game, you decide how many draws you want to take part in. This can be just a single draw.

In the monthly game, German Lotto 6aus49 is played for 8 or 9 draws on Wednesdays and Saturdays, depending on the period of the month. In both EUROJACKPOT and EuroMillions there are also 8 or 9 draws on Tuesdays and Fridays, depending on the period of the month.

Shortly before the start of the game, you will be informed of the first and last draw day of the game period. The participation fee remains the same every month, regardless of the number of draws.

As a rule, a participation period runs from the first to the last draw of a calendar month. In the case of the German Lotto 6/49, this means from the first Wednesday or first Saturday draw to the last Wednesday or last Saturday draw.

Exceptions: The Friday and/or Tuesday draws of the EUROJACKPOT and EuroMillions lottery may deviate from this, as the winning settlement usually takes place after the last draw of Lotto 6/49.

Example August 2012: The winning settlement took place on 30.08.2012 after the last Wednesday Lotto draw (29.08.12). The EuroJackpot and EuromIllions draw on August 31 therefore fell into the September participation period. There may also be exceptions due to public holidays.

The playing periods and exceptions are always announced in the monthly Lotto News.

Of course, you will find the latest information on our website.... Monthly game periods >>

In the monthly game, winnings are settled after the last Lotto 6/49 draw of the current monthly game period. If, after deduction of the next participation fee, your personal DLC account balance exceeds the amount of 10 euros, payment will be made immediately by bank transfer without being requested to do so.

You can request a payout via your DLC account in the drawing game. After verification, the payout will be made immediately.

On average, around two thirds of the participation amount is used for the lottery game. The DLC therefore fulfills the requirements of the German State Treaty on Gambling.

You will receive all the necessary data with your confirmation of participation and the system numbers that are decisive for your share of winnings. You can view this data at any time via your DLC account with the participation status "Confirmation & numbers".

Everything is regulated in detail in the Terms & Condiitions.

Winnings from the past may raise your expectations too much. You may be disappointed later if the big win is yet to come.

It is important to know that previous winnings do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about future winnings. High winnings have already been achieved at DLC and are always possible. However, we cannot promise you anything. That would be dubious. For this reason, we do not publish any winnings, statistics or similar, because lottery is and remains a game of chance - even with a lottery system. But fact is:

The more lottery lines you have in the game,
the greater your chances are of winning the jackpot.

Reason enough to take part at DLC.
