LottoStar login: signing in, and what to do when it refuses

Checked against the operator's pages on

Step by step

  1. Open lottostar.co.zaEnter lottostar.co.za by hand or from a saved bookmark. The real site is lottostar.co.za; this guide is a different website.
  2. Tap LoginOn a phone the account button sits top right. The login panel asks you to enter your login details.
  3. Fill in two fields"Email or Mobile Number" and "Password". If you use the cell number, the +27 dialing code is preselected.
  4. Pass the security checkA short anti-bot check runs on the form. When it clears, submit and your balance shows in the header.

To log in to LottoStar, open lottostar.co.za, tap Login and enter two things: the e-mail address or the South African mobile number on your account, and your password. That is the whole form, plus an automatic anti-bot check. If you forgot the password, the “Forgot password?” link under the password box sends a reset link to your registered e-mail. Everything below covers the cases where the LottoStar login does not go through.

We describe the official form as we found it in November 2026. This website is an independent guide; we have no login box and never ask for your password.

What the LottoStar login form asks for

The form has one identifier field labelled “Email or Mobile Number”. You can use either:

  • E-mail: the exact address you registered with. If you changed it later, use the new one.
  • Cell number: the form keeps a dialing-code selector set to +27 by default, so enter the rest of your number. If your first attempt fails, try it without the leading 0.

The second field is your password. Searches like “lottostar login my account login password”, “lotto stars login” and “lottostar co za login” all end at this same form. There is no separate login for players in a particular province or for mobile users.

Six reasons a LottoStar login fails

Symptom Likely cause What to do
“Invalid details” Typo in e-mail, or number entered with a different format Retype; try the other identifier
Correct password still rejected Password changed on another device Use “Forgot password?”
Account says suspended or deactivated FICA documents late, or a fraud check Contact support (clause 19)
Cannot log in at all for a set period You set a cooling-off period or self-exclusion Wait it out; neither can be shortened
Balance gone after a long break No deposit, bet or withdrawal for 180 days Dormant-account rule, clause 18.1
Form never submits Security check did not load Refresh, switch off a VPN or ad-blocker, try another browser

Cooling-off and self-exclusion are the ones people forget. LottoStar’s FAQ is clear that during both you “won’t be able to log in”. That is the point of the tool, and support will not lift it early.

Forgot your LottoStar password?

The official FAQ describes the reset in one line: click “Forgot your password?” on the login screen, enter your registered e-mail address, open the e-mail and follow the link to set a new password.

Two practical notes:

  1. The reset goes to e-mail, not SMS. If you no longer have access to that inbox, call or chat with support to change the address first.
  2. Check spam and promotions folders before requesting a second link.

To change a password you still know, log in, click your initials at the top right and update it from your profile. The FAQ says the same menu holds “My Account” > “Edit profile”, where you change your e-mail and then verify it.

Logging in on a phone

LottoStar describes its site as responsive: the layout adapts to the device. In practice a phone gets the same lottostar.co.za login with the account icon top right. Searches for “lottostar app login” or “install lottostar login” assume an app we could not find. Our app page explains how to put a home-screen shortcut on Android or iPhone instead of installing an APK from an unknown source.

After you log in: deposits and rewards

Once you are in, the Deposit tab sits at the top right on desktop and inside the burger menu on mobile. The minimum is R10. Rewards, including Star Rewards and any bonus you accepted, are under the Rewards tab of your profile.

New here? You need an account before any of this works; registration takes a few minutes, verification a little longer.

Keep the account yours

LottoStar’s security policy (clause 20) puts the whole risk of a shared password on the player: every action on the account is treated as authorised by you. So:

  • Never type your password on a page that is not lottostar.co.za. Lookalike login pages are a common phishing trick.
  • LottoStar’s own security reminder says not to share passwords or withdrawal PINs with anyone, staff included.
  • If you suspect someone else has logged in, report it immediately on 086 026 7777. Bets placed before you report it stay your responsibility.

Searched, then answered

Can I log in to LottoStar with my ID number?

The login form we inspected asks for an e-mail address or a mobile number, not an ID number. Your ID or passport number is used during registration and FICA checks.

How do I reset my LottoStar password?

Click "Forgot password?" under the password field and enter the e-mail address registered on the account. LottoStar sends a reset link to that inbox.

Is there a separate LottoStar app login?

We found no official app. Log in through the mobile website in Chrome or Safari; it uses the same e-mail or cell number and password.

Where is "My Account" after I log in?

Click or tap your initials in the top right corner. Profile details, password changes and the e-mail address are managed from there.

Does the LottoStar login work for Spina Zonke?

No. Spina Zonke is not a LottoStar lobby. LottoStar's slot games sit under Reel Rush and Slotteries, and other brands need their own accounts.
