Why can't I buy my lottery ticket on line with a credit card?

Question

the national UK lottery only seems to take debit cards, is this correct?

Answer 1

This is such a rediculous question,

How can someone justify going into debt to gamble on winning against major odds?

Nothing to show for, and will file Bankruptcy, while those who "Pay" their debt will absord this as part of the credit card's loss mitigation.

WE  PAY for people like this to run  up cards and not pay.

The Credit Card Companies, RAISE the interest rates on us to remain profitable, (they DON"T lose ,trust me)..   Credit card debt is the the WORST kind of debt, with typical $2,000 debt taking 12-15 years to pay off, at an amortized 30 or more percent return to the company.

Insane.

Answer 2

it is illegal for banks to lend you money to gable and in theory that is what your doing .

you cant afford to gamble

you have reached your limit i am thinking banks have to be responsible lenders!!!!  haha as if they are

Answer 3

Using a credit card also lends itself to abuse more easily than a banknote.  Buying a ticket with hard currency, that's it, it's gone.  Buying lottery tickets with a credit card, much easier just keep acquiring credit cards and maxing them out to feed a gambling addiction.

Answer 4

If you use a cedit card you are charged as if it was a cash withdrawal, this goes for all gambling sites.

Hence the reason why you would use a debit card.
