How to log in to LottoStar
To complete your LottoStar login, open LottoStar in your desktop or phone browser, tap the login button in the site header, enter the details you registered with plus your password, and confirm. If it fails, use the forgotten password option, check your connection, or contact LottoStar's 24/7 LiveChat for help.
This guide covers logging in on desktop and mobile, opening a new account, resetting a password, FICA verification and what to do when your account is suspended or on a cooling-off break. We are an independent guide, not LottoStar, so for anything account-specific the final word always comes from LottoStar support.
LottoStar login on desktop
Logging in from a laptop or PC takes under a minute once you have an account.
- Open LottoStar in your browser. Type the address yourself or use a trusted bookmark rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
- Click the login button. You will find it in the header at the top of the page.
- Enter your details. Use the login identifier you registered with and your password.
- Confirm and check your balance. Once logged in, your Play Credits and the Deposit tab appear at the top right.
LottoStar login on your phone
LottoStar runs in your phone's browser, so the mobile login works almost exactly like desktop. We could not confirm a native app in Google Play or the App Store, which is why our LottoStar app guide explains how to add a home screen shortcut instead.
- Open your mobile browser. Chrome on Android or Safari on iPhone both work.
- Go to LottoStar and tap login. On smaller screens, menu items such as Deposit sit behind the burger menu.
- Enter your details and confirm. Use the same login details and password as on desktop; it is one account across all devices.
Once you are in, you can add games to your favourites and switch the site's theme to suit your screen. LottoStar works on desktop, phone and tablet, so your balance is waiting on whichever device you pick up.
How to register a LottoStar account
New players need to be 18 or older and in South Africa. LottoStar is licensed by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator, so it asks for real South African details that can later be matched to your FICA documents.
- Choose to register. Open LottoStar and select the sign-up or register option instead of login.
- Fill in your personal details. Expect typical fields such as your name, contact details and South African identity information. The exact form can change, so follow what LottoStar shows on screen.
- Create a strong password. Use something unique that you do not use for email or banking.
- Accept the terms and confirm you are 18+. Read the terms before you agree.
- Accept the welcome offer within 24 hours. The 100% Habanero Deposit Bonus up to R10,000 must be accepted within 24 hours of registering. Our LottoStar bonus guide explains the playthrough.
- Make your first deposit. The minimum is R10. See the LottoStar deposit guide for cards, EFT and vouchers.
Forgot your LottoStar password?
If you cannot remember your password, do not keep guessing at old combinations. Reset it properly instead:
- Use the forgotten password option. It sits on the login screen, next to the password field.
- Follow the reset instructions. LottoStar will guide you through verifying that the account is yours.
- Set a new, unique password. Avoid reusing an old one.
- Contact support if you are stuck. LottoStar offers 24/7 LiveChat, email at [email protected] and phone on 086 026 7777.
LottoStar FICA verification overview
You can register and log in without uploading documents, but FICA becomes important when you want your money out. According to LottoStar's FAQ, FICA is mandatory for withdrawals over R25,000 and can be requested at LottoStar's discretion. Activated Star Rewards are also only withdrawable once your account is FICA-compliant.
| Document | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Identity document | Your ID |
| Proof of address | Not older than 3 months |
| Banking proof | 3 months' bank statements, or a bank confirmation letter not older than 3 months |
Documents are valid for 12 months from the stamp date and must be resubmitted after that. Our LottoStar withdrawal and FICA guide covers payout methods and timing in detail.
Account suspended, deactivated or on a cooling-off break
Sometimes a login fails not because of a password problem but because the account status has changed. LottoStar offers responsible betting tools including a cooling-off period, self-exclusion and account deactivation. If you set one of these yourself, you will not be able to play until it ends.
That is by design. If you chose a break, respect it rather than trying to open a second account. If you did not request any restriction and your account appears suspended, contact LottoStar support directly to find out why; only they can review it. Gambling is for adults 18+ only, and if it feels out of control, the SARGF National Responsible Gambling Programme helpline is free on 0800 006 008.

Keep your LottoStar account secure
Never share passwords
Your password is yours alone. Legitimate support has no reason to ask for it.
Guard withdrawal PINs
eWallet, CashSend, Instant Money and Send-iMali PINs give access to your cash. Never pass them on.
Verify who you talk to
Use the official LiveChat, [email protected] or 086 026 7777. Ignore unsolicited "agents" on social media.
Lock your phone
If your browser remembers your login, a screen lock is your first line of defence.
Also be wary of messages with links that claim your account is locked or a prize is waiting. Rather open LottoStar yourself and check your account directly. Treat anyone asking for your password or PIN, even if they claim to work for LottoStar, as a scammer. Curious about the operator behind the account? Read our LottoStar licence and safety review.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I log in to my LottoStar account?
The usual causes are a mistyped password, a weak connection or browser cache issues. If you set a cooling-off period or self-exclusion, you will also be unable to play until it ends. Try the forgotten password option first, then contact LottoStar's 24/7 LiveChat.
How do I reset my LottoStar password?
Use the forgotten password option on the login screen and follow the instructions to verify the account is yours. If that does not work, contact LottoStar support by LiveChat, at [email protected] or on 086 026 7777.
Do I need FICA documents to register on LottoStar?
You can open an account first. FICA is mandatory for withdrawals over R25,000 and may be requested at LottoStar's discretion. See our withdrawal guide for the document list.
How old do you have to be to join LottoStar?
You must be 18 or older. LottoStar is a licensed South African bookmaker regulated by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator, and underage play is not allowed.
Can I use the same LottoStar login on my phone and computer?
Yes. It is one account, and LottoStar runs in the browser on desktop, phone and tablet, so the same login details work everywhere.
Who do I contact if my LottoStar account is suspended?
Contact LottoStar support directly through LiveChat, email or phone. Only LottoStar can review an account restriction; an independent guide like ours cannot unlock accounts.
