Checked on LottoStar's own pages on 13 November 2026. Slot-style games at bookmakers are legally disputed; see the legal section below. 18+, terms apply.

LottoStar does not publish a promo code. Its FAQ, read on 13 November 2026, has a section on a "100% Habanero Deposit Bonus", with questions on how to qualify, whether existing players can claim, "Which games count toward the bonus?", "What does '30x playthrough' mean?" and what happens if you did not accept the bonus in time or decline it. The answers did not load for us, so we can confirm only the outline: a deposit match for Habanero games, a 30x playthrough, and an offer you must accept. Before you consider it, read the legal section below: both this bonus and LottoStar's main lottery-style products sit in contested territory.

LottoStar promo code: none to find

LottoStar (Pty) Ltd, registration 2007/011071/07, holds a bookmaker's licence from the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator, licence 9-2-1-09467; its FAQ invites customers to confirm this with the regulator on 013 750-8000. Its FAQ describes a deposit bonus and a Star Rewards programme, and explains the different kinds of promotional balance it uses. None of the pages we read gives a code. Codes advertised elsewhere for LottoStar have no source on LottoStar's own pages.

What the FAQ headings tell you about the bonus

The questions LottoStar chose to answer show how the offer works, even without the answers:

• "How do I qualify for the 100% Habanero Deposit Bonus?" There is a qualifying deposit and possibly other conditions.
• "Can I claim the bonus as an existing player?" Eligibility may not be limited to new accounts.
• "Which games count toward the bonus?" Only some games contribute to the playthrough.
• "What does '30x playthrough' mean?" The bonus must be played through 30 times.
• "What if I didn't accept the bonus in time?" The offer has an acceptance window.
• "What happens if I request a withdrawal before finishing the playthrough?" An early withdrawal has consequences for the bonus.

Our October research recorded the same picture: the site "does not publish full bonus terms beyond a brief mention of a 30x playthrough requirement". Open the bonus in your account and read the conditions there before accepting.

What 30x means in rand

A 30x playthrough on a 100% match means betting thirty times the bonus. A R100 deposit matched with R100 needs R3,000 of play on qualifying games; a R500 match needs R15,000. If the playthrough is counted on deposit plus bonus, as some operators do, the figures double. That is a demanding requirement for a recreational player, and it is concentrated on one provider's slots.

The legal questions around LottoStar

LottoStar's best-known products are bets on the outcomes of lotteries, including international draws. The Lotteries Act (section 57(2)(g)) makes betting on the outcome of a lottery an offence unless another law authorises it, and the courts stopped LottoStar on that basis in 2021. LottoStar continues to describe itself as a licensed fixed-odds bookmaker, and the legal position is disputed. Separately, slot-style games at bookmakers, such as the Habanero games this bonus is tied to, are legally contested: the Supreme Court of Appeal barred Gauteng bookmakers from casino-game bets in 2025, and national policy is pending.

For those reasons this page does not recommend the bonus or LottoStar's lottery-style bets. We describe the offer because people search for it, and because knowing the conditions is better than relying on a code that does not exist. Our lucky numbers section explains the draws themselves and why betting on their outcomes is restricted.

Promo credits, Play Credits and Star Rewards

LottoStar uses several kinds of balance, which is why its FAQ has a question comparing promo credits, freebies and other promotional balances. Deposits buy Play Credits, which pay for bets; promotional credits come from offers and rewards and carry their own rules. Star Rewards are earned through activity, and the FAQ asks whether they can be withdrawn and whether they are "real money". Treat any non-deposit balance as conditional until you have read how it converts to withdrawable money.

Deposits and the qualifying deposit

LottoStar lists many deposit routes: cards, EFT through Stitch and PayFast, SnapScan, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay through Walletdoc, LottoStar vouchers, crypto through Luno Pay and VALR Pay (minimum R100, maximum R40,000 a day), and bank transfers to LottoStar as a public recipient at Standard Bank, FNB, Absa and Nedbank. Its rule for bank transfers is in capitals on the payment page: "ALWAYS REMEMBER TO USE YOUR ID OR CELL PHONE NUMBER AS THE REFERENCE". A deposit without that reference has to be matched by hand, which could cost you the bonus acceptance window.

How LottoStar describes its own legal position

LottoStar's FAQ takes a firm line: it says it is "a licensed fixed-odds betting company", that it holds "a Bookmakers' licence issued by the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator", and that "online gambling with regards to casino games is illegal, however sports betting/fixed-odds betting sites are legal in South Africa". That last sentence is worth reading closely next to the bonus: the Habanero games are casino-style games, and the operator's own FAQ draws a line around casino games. The courts and the national regulator have not settled where bookmaker game lobbies fall, which is why we treat both the bonus and LottoStar's lottery-outcome bets with caution.

Withdrawals and FICA

The LottoStar FAQ has questions on the minimum withdrawal, "What documents do I need to withdraw?", "Why do I need to resubmit my documents for FICA?" and when a withdrawal PIN arrives. Its privacy notice adds that it may collect "facial images or other biometric identifiers" for identity verification. Our October research recorded that FICA documents are required before withdrawal. A bonus with a 30x playthrough and a withdrawal that waits for FICA can keep money in the account for a long time, so verify before you deposit if you intend to accept any offer. The registration guide covers the documents.

Safer alternatives for a welcome offer

If you want a welcome bonus for sports betting, several licensed bookmakers publish full terms for sport: see our welcome bonus page and promo codes page, where the few brands that use real codes are listed with their sources.

Help and limits

Only people aged 18 and over may register; "No persons under the age of 18 are permitted to bet", LottoStar's footer states. LottoStar offers a cooling-off period, self-exclusion and a self-assessment quiz, and shows the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation line, 0800 006 008. Our responsible gambling guide explains how to use them.
