National Lottery Interactive has a "Bypass Flash game play" option. Enabling this option allows people that cannot view or interact with Flash to play the game. Click "Manage My Account" and go to the Profile Information page. Scroll to the section called "Game Play Preferences." If the "Bypass Flash game play and just show me the game results" checkbox is checked, the Flash game will not load. Simply uncheck the box and submit your changes to load and play the Flash games.

We are very conscious of responsible play and for that reason we have set a spending limit of €75 per day for online players. If you want to play more lottery lines for draws in advance, we suggest you break up your lines and purchase your online tickets separately over a number of days. For more information on spending limits please click here.

In accordance with our terms and conditions players must be over 18 years of age and resident in the Republic of Ireland. Registered players may play online as long as it is lawful under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. However, local laws in many countries do not permit sale or purchase of tickets for any overseas lotteries.

As restrictions vary and are subject to change from country to country, it is not possible to provide advice on any specific country therefore we strongly recommend players do not purchase tickets outside our jurisdiction.

It is important to note that it is the player’s responsibility to ensure they act within the law of the jurisdiction they are visiting and within our agreed terms and conditions. Failure to do so could result in plays being declared invalid and no prizes will be paid.

Spending limits allow you to limit the amount of money you can spend in a given period (days, weeks or months).

Locked games are games that you have selected to make unplayable for a defined period of time. If you wish to play a game that has been locked, you must either wait for the reactivation date or contact Customer Support using the details below.

We like to congratulate our prize winners by announcing their first name (or preferred greeting if it exists), location and the game they played on the web site. If you do not want your name featured, make sure this box is unticked.

By clicking "Manage My Account" and selecting the "Close my Account" link you can begin the process. Any unfinished games will need to be completed and any wallet balance you may have must be withdrawn. Please note that when you withdraw funds from your account a cheque will be issued to you from the National Lottery.

Once you confirm the transaction the transfer is in process and may not be cancelled.

As long as you have funds in your wallet you can continue to play games. However, if the card you've registered has expired, you cannot load additional funds to your wallet. To be able to load funds simply click "Manage My Wallet" and update the expiration date by editing your credit card in your profile.

Once the transaction has been processed successfully, the funds in your wallet will be updated and available for game play immediately.

The National Lottery and most of the main financial institutions do not charge for uploading funds from your credit card to the Play Online wallet. However, it has been brought to our attention that some credit card providers treat this as a cash advance and charge accordingly. We suggest you check with your credit card provider prior to adding funds to your wallet.
