r/VaLottery

I started playing this year and I’ve been playing a lot of instant online games. I was looking at my account summary today and although I’ve deposited about $600 and only withdrawn $300 it’s saying my total wins are $1900. When taxes come around is that $1900 number the one I will have to report?

I doubt I will be getting a WG tax form since that $1900 is from all the small wins the instants give. If that’s the case and that number is the one that will be reported it doesn’t rlly make sense.

You deposit $20 and by the time you get to $35 and withdraw you’ve already made $50+ in small wins that is added to that large sum that you will have to report. Literally start with $20 you drop to $10 then get back to $20 drop to $15 then eventually you get to a profit which by then in that whole process you’ve accumulated many small wins that’ll just bite you back when taxes come.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. I just want to understand this better before I dig myself into a deep hole.

Should at least have some free games for one of the USA/America games.

I APOLOGIZE, THEY TRICKED US WITH THAT DAMN WEAK PROMO THIS MORNING INSTEAD OF AN AWESOME FRIFUNDAY SURPRISE, AGAIN MY APOLOGIES!

who won the Daily Fortune today? It went up to almost $13k i have been playing it all day and never won anything.

Is it just me or is the RTP here really really bad? I didn’t notice til I played other sites but now that I have it is insane. I deposited $150 yesterday for the promo (basically started with $200) and proceeded to bleed all of it over the course of an hour playing multiple games ($.5 and $1 bets only) and only won on 1 game but then lost it on there as well. I understand gambling is pretty much a guaranteed L but usually there is some winning and fun to be had. We just got 10 free games in that dragon’s lair game for 7/1 ($.2 bets of course) and I won a whopping $.32. I used to actually have some decent wins here but now it feels like I’m happy if I only lose half my deposit. Also, I find it very peculiar that I seem to lose a lot more after these big bonus promos than the other ones. Anyway, end of rant. I will probably do my Frifunday $10 deposit and then exclude for a month or more. Good luck to you all.

I called VA lottery and the redeeming for online free play is down right now. They are working on fixing it.
I’m unsure if the “vending machine” credits will allow you to get the $10 online voucher, as I don’t have one near me, but to those wanting to redeem points for online free play…just HOLD OUT….bc they are working on getting it back up&running.
I wanted to share so maybe I could save others some aggravation.
Good luck to all!!

So Va lottery think their slick. The online redemption isn’t available but the new retail redemption has scratch off option and number draws. I did the number draws which I thought was cool because the fireball is included…HOWEVER VA LOTTERY picks random numbers for you! That’s BS! It’s points I earned giving them all my money so I should AT LEAST be allowed to pick the numbers I want to play! I did that and a few scratch offs and then the option went away. So if they do decide to reactivate the online credit I bet they will say I reached my monthly redemption limit. It’s officially time for me to get rid of lottery. They don’t even do as many promo codes anymore and the bonus offers suck. They will do a deposit $50 and get 25 free games and you don’t hit ANY bonuses even with your $50. I think they need to be investigated. Especially those promotional drawings. It seems like with those it’s always the same “random” names as the winners. It’s all I scam. I’m over it!

Looks like you can redeem for the online credit again.

Good luck, yall! 🤞🤞
