Opens lottostar.co.za in a new tab

LottoStar has no sportsbook: its site holds slots, live games and its own lottery-style games, which its footer calls fixed-odds betting events. Its slots are led by Habanero and Playtech, and its live games by Evolution's shows. It suits players without a card, since its own LottoStar Voucher is sold at Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay and Boxer.

Pros, cons and verdict 

Choose LottoStar for Habanero slots, Evolution's live shows and its own lottery-style games, and for cash deposits with its voucher.

Look elsewhere if you want sports betting, Lucky Numbers or Pragmatic Play slots such as Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza.

If you take the Habanero deposit bonus, play the deposit through once first; only then does the 30x on the bonus start.
