Virtual World Direct

We have found one online scheme that interested us enough to have a go. We did a lot of searching on the internet and although there are a lot of people promoting this site, there is very little negative feedback on it. It has also been in operation for quite a few years, and at £5 per week and the chance to play the lottery for free, we thought we would give it a go.

Well in for a penny, in for a pound, let's see what happens.

The site is Virtual World Direct - Online Lottery Syndicate.

Not sure how this will work out - you basically pay £5pw to play on both the Wednesday and Saturday National Lottery draws, with 44 lines in each draw, spread between a syndicate of 49 players.

OK- first question first, 2 x 49 x £5 = £490, whereas 2 x 44 lines = £88. Hmm - where does the rest of the money go?

OK £1 to the person who introduced you, and 50p to the person who introduced them (in fact it works a bit further up the tree, so say we are each paying £2.50 per week to play).

2 x 49 x £2.50 = £245

So the website owners stand to make quite a lot of money out of each syndicate.

However, I guess, if you take the costs of maintaining the website and the chance that not all syndicates will be full, that sort of makes up for some of the profits.

Still you pays your money, you makes your choice.

Let's see how it goes. I have created my own website (Playlotto) to promote this site, so hopefully, I can be one of the people earning commission to offset my weekly subscription.
