ID Verification
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to open an account or to play National Lottery Online. To make sure all our players are 18 or over, we ask that you prove your age.
How does it work?
To verify your ID all you need is a valid driver’s license or passport, and a working smartphone to take a picture of it and upload. Our system will then compare it against what we have in our system, and, if consistent, will tag the account as verified.
Why do I need to verify my Account?
As Ireland’s Lottery provider we have a responsibility to stop people who are underage from using our products, to protect them. Early gambling experiences, including lottery play may be a risk factor for later problem gambling.
We therefore ask that all our online players verify their accounts so that we can ensure that no minors are at risk.
Verifying new players
Anyone who opens an account with us is now required to verify their account at the time of registration. Prospective players who don't provide us with the information we need to verify that they are of age are prevented from opening an online account and playing National Lottery games online.
Verifying existing players
If you are one of the players who opened their accounts before the current ID verification system was in place, you will be prompted to verify your account in due course.
