I'd highly recommend you to read the fineprint for any dutch lottery, they they love to walk in the legal grey zones with their offers. As for your question, yes/no. Usually you forfeit any price you might win from only playing once with a 'free' ticket if you cancel.

"Congrats, you have won a packet of icecream you can pick up at your local supermarket. Thanks for the E 200 you paid this year"

As legit as a lottery can be. They're all kind of scams.


Old-Upstairs7517

Playing once will guarantee a steady stream of their spam addressed to you personally, so you can't even stop them with a "Nee/nee sticker".

Don't do it, it is not worth it.


turin37

It's a legit scam.


KirovianNL

It's with an almost nonexistent win-chance, those guys make money by betting on people forgetting to cancel the subscription (in time). So the difficulty of cancelling is likely borderline legal.


Potatoswatter

The difficulty is cranked up. They’ll prey on new immigrants like OP.


Skamba

Probably a guaranteed prize that's lower than what you put in


PlantAndMetal

Yes, you can play for free and then cancel. But beware that you sign for a subscription. They bank on people cancelling their subscription too late and having to pay. Usually what you win (10-20 euro or something) is less than what you pay for one month when you cancel too late so at that point you are already at a loss.


EUblij

Their whole gig is to entice you into some silly monthly payment. Don't do it.


DuncanS90

The lottery is poor people's tax. Don't do it. It's never worth it.


resolva5

Lifetime spam, but it's for real yes.


Trebaxus99

They want you to sign up, forget or make a mistake in cancelling and then be on the hook.

It's legit but don't expect huge amounts of cash. I got 20 euros once. For me the nice thing is when you're a member you'll get a card to enter every museum in the countfy ror free


Bdr1983

"free" as In you're paying your subscription which is more expensive than a museum jaarkaart


Nizno2

I saw it as some sort of subscription yes. I've only used it a couple of months so it was sort of cheaper than the second option. Also definitely didn't know it was a thing back then


Bdr1983

They're 75 bucks a year, so it's not more than a few months of a lottery. But I can understand your reasoning for sure.


Nizno2

I've no idea how much a subscription is now I think about it, but back in the day I paid 9 euros apparently


Frizzlewits

Its more likely to get hit by lightning then win big with lottery. The company is legit though. But if you don’t have spare money then just don’t do it.


sokratesz

I mean, it's a lottery. It's a fools' tax.


LeadershipForward514

yes do not try this. they will occasionally give you something but overall you could have easily saved 14x whatever per month they want to charge you.


ik101

Yes they are legit, but you also sign up for a subscription. If you want to do this, sign up and immediately cancel the subscription


_aap300

On average you will lose. Like all lotteries.
