"If you notice alot of online casinoes…"
If you notice alot of online casinoes are getting the igaming logo for ontario approved. These online casinoes want access to ontarians so they pay the ont government a fee to alow ontario players to play at their casino. Where do you think the fee they have to pay comes from? They adjust rtp to account for the fee thus the players have less chance to win... its such a scam. Our leaders in canada are a joke.. Trudeau ford they are all fkn re-tarded lol.

"Stuip or corrupt?"
In 2021 your net profit from lottery sales was around 4.3 billion dollars.
How incompetent, at best or corrupt at worst must you be to only give back only around 400 million to Ontario.
Just curious what happened to the other billions?

"Draw results are rigged"
Draw results are rigged, and jackpot winners are cherry picked. Draws are not shown on TV or online so there's no way of knowing how they choose the winning numbers. Online players only win free plays or small sums of money ($1000 or less). All jackpots are "won" by people who buy their tickets at retailers.

I've been playing OLG online for over 5 years, buying tickets mostly for Lotto Max and 6/49. I don't expect to win and I know the chances are very slim. But I've noticed some clear and disturbing patterns of behaviour with OLG. Over the years I've noticed that only people who buy tickets from retailers win the big prizes. We NEVER see articles in the news about online players winning jackpots.

This is because OLG still has a corrupt relationship with the retailers. I'm sure the retailers weren't happy when OLG started a website which competes with their ticket sales. Retailers make a lot of money selling lottery tickets. So it stands to reason that OLG promised the retailers that only their customers would win the jackpots. To add to the corruption, now news articles about jackpot winners now give details about the retailer where they bought their ticket, to attract more customers to that location. It's a kickback to those retailers, who get free advertising.

I also noticed that OLG manually awards free plays to online customers whenever they choose. It's a ruse to keep online players from realizing that only retail customers are allowed to win meaningful prizes. For example, when the covid lockdowns started, I noticed that I suddenly began winning free plays two or three times per month, even though I always play the same numbers. How can that be? Then as soon as the lockdowns were over, the free plays "mysteriously" stopped and I won nothing for over 6 months. I also skipped playing for a couple of months. Lo and behold, as soon as I bought tickets again I won a free play. Free plays for online players are just bread crumbs to keep them buying tickets that will never win.

Another issue is that jackpot winners always belong to the same age and racial groups. Either seniors or immigrants always win. Whites below the age of 50 never win unless they're part of a group win. The vast majority of these winners are also male. I believe this is because OLG targets their marketing and jackpot wins towards their preferred groups who buy more tickets. When those demographics win jackpots, OLG makes more money.

Now there's a new OLG scam - announcing multiple jackpot wins by the same person. I've noticed several news articles about multiple winners within the past 6 months. Before that, people who won multiple jackpots in a short time were unheard of. In the past week alone, I've read two news stories about people who won two or more jackpots within a month or two. Both of these people bought their tickets at retailers, of course. One is a senior, the other an immigrant. Both are male. Preferred demographics again. Given the chances of winning a jackpot (one in about a billion) it's inconceivable that anyone would win two jackpots in less than a month, unless OLG is cherry picking the winners.

I've stopped wasting my money playing OLG online. All I've won in the past 5 years is free plays and on one occasion I won $75. Since OLG is in bed with the retailers, the only chance of winning is to buy tickets at a retailer.

But there needs to be an audit of OLG's past winning numbers and who was awarded the prizes, along with an investigation to confirm whether they are cherry picking jackpot winners based on age, race and gender. Have online tickets won, but the buyer was kept in the dark and denied their prize? OLG also owes all of its online customers a refund of every dime they spent buying tickets that never had a chance of winning.

"Christmas Gift Packs what a joke"
Bought $120.00 worth of holiday gift pack scratch tickets for my family members and not one ticket in their packs were winners, the thing they received was a free
instant crossword voucher value for $3.00 and 7 week contest draw by entering a online code. Now to me that's a joke or is it a S___M?

"OLG is excellent and trustworthy"
OLG is excellent and trustworthy, unlike other sites, winning is random, I have lost and won on many occasions. Didn't play for a year and half and then when I started playing again. O boy did I win BIG. Yes. With $800 investment I was up approximately 22 grand. Withdrawing. Well It's another story, I was too impatient to wait for banking statement to be verified and slowly lost quite a bit of it until everything was verified, I was able to withdraw the remaining funds. My fault I got greedy and tried to win the big one, but I'm sure I'll win the Big one again. If you can't trust a site operated by our government then who can you trust. Jackpot city? Yeah right,what a garbage site that is. OLG is the best.

"The OLG never miss a draw subscription…"
The OLG never miss a draw subscription is crap. I now have 2 tickets for the same draw with the same numbers. When I spoke to a real person they said that they couldn’t help me and that I have to cancel
my subscription. When I asked to have my funds returned they couldn’t help me with that either. Don’t waste your time with this worthless app.

"Bad reviews are for Losers"
Wow.. OLG is really not as bad as this review site is making it out to seem.. negative reviews are posted by losing players.. rarely any winners come to post a good review, so read these complaints with a grain of salt. Personally I never won anything, but I know people who have won quite big and never had problems with anything..

"I have spent 2 hrs"
I have spent 2 hrs. Trying to enter the 7 weeks of winning. The lotto robot tried to help me and finally phoned me. She could not get me entered. It says you have to set up an account. Nowhere on the ticket does it say that. I suggested that lotto puts a disclaimer that no one over 30 should try and enter their contests. I paid $20 for the ticket and I want my money back.
