PA Online Lottery Bonus Code

PA iLottery promotions and bonus offers

Even though the PA iLottery has been operating for more than a year, there are still players who have yet to sign up. For those players, we can offer two great promotional deals.

First, new account holders who input iLottery bonus code PLAY20 can do precisely that. The bonus code, entered during the registration process, will yield $20 in the player’s new account before they even have a chance to bet.

Once the player decides to start betting bigger, there’s another bonus to help them on their way. PA iLottery is offering a 100% deposit match on deposits of up to $500.

In other words, the lottery will match a player’s first deposit, dollar for dollar, up to $500.

This deposit bonus is a great deal for a couple of reasons. For one thing, the playthrough requirement is not onerous in comparison to other sites.

The playthrough requirement, which requires players to wager a multiple of the bonus money, is standard for most deposit bonuses. However, the iLottery, eschewing some of the higher multiples, only requires a 10x playthrough to release the bonus funds as cash.

PA iLottery has also not specified a time limit on this bonus yet. So, the pressure to grind away in order to release the bonus is slightly diminished compared to other deposit bonuses.

How to sign up for an account

To buy lottery tickets online, you’ll need to sign up for an account with the PA Lottery website.

PA players must be 18 years or older, have a valid PA address and be within PA state borders to play online.

First, players need to fill out the “Easy Registration Form” on the iLottery website. The form takes just a couple of minutes to fill out. Players select a username and password, provide some personal details and use any relevant bonus code.

Who is allowed to play in PA?

Naturally, it’s better for everyone involved if as many people play as possible. So, there are only a few restrictions as to which persons can play Pennsylvania’s online lottery. They are:

• Located Inside PA: Since interstate gambling is still prohibited on the federal level, players must be physically inside the Keystone State to take part in the PA iLottery. They need not be residents to play; they must merely be in the state at the time of purchase.
• Age: ILottery purchases are only open to adults 18 or older. This requirement is common for most lotteries throughout the US. However, it is younger than the standard 21 years or older required for entry into most casinos.
• Family Restriction: Pennsylvania iLottery players may not have a close relative who works for the Lottery. The perception of impropriety (along with the actual risk of it) is too big of a negative to ignore.

How to download the PA iLottery app

No matter what device a player uses, the PA iLottery is likely compatible. The site is available through browsers, iOS and Android devices. Players can also visit PAiLottery.com to download the app.

• iPhone or iPad: For iOS users, visit the Apple App Store to find the download. The app is free and should install without any issue on most iPhones and iPads.
• Android: Android users have a slightly longer road. Because Google does not allow gambling apps in the Google Play Store, it is necessary to download the app file from the iLottery site.

Make sure to set the phone to allow installations from “unknown sources” before downloading the app. Then, click the relevant button and will enable the app to proceed.

Once you have the app downloaded, click on the “Sign Up” button on the iLottery website and fill out the form.

You will need all the standard items to sign up for an account. So, expect to submit your name, address, telephone number, and email address.

You will also need to select two challenge questions from dropdown boxes and submit your answers. Finally, make sure to enter the PLAY20 iLottery bonus code into the right box, and select all the boxes that apply to you.

The app allows players not only to play instant games but also to scan paper tickets and check winning numbers. It should be no problem to make the PA iLottery app a one-stop-shop for all your internet lottery needs.

PA iLottery banking

Obviously, in order to play the lottery online, players need to get money online. The PA iLottery maintains several ways to move funds onto and off the site.

Standard among lottery sites, there are more ways to deposit than there are to withdraw. Quite simply, money does not always flow in both directions.

However, most players will be able to find an option that works for them. Here are the banking options for the PA iLottery, with its availability for deposits and withdrawals.

Electronic check (deposit and withdrawal)

An e-check works in much the same way that the paper version does. The player or the lottery issues an order to withdraw money from their bank account and send it to the account of the recipient.

Like all checks, the e-check has to pass through a clearinghouse to clear. The PA iLottery uses ACH to confirm all its e-check transactions. If you use VIP Preferred to pre-verify your account, these transactions are instant!

Credit card (deposit)

The iLottery will accept credit card transactions from Visa, Mastercard and Discover holders. For many, this option may seem the most painless of all.

However, it’s important to note that many issuing banks, including Wells Fargo and Bank of America, routinely deny these types of requests. Even if they accept the deposit, many banks will charge a cash advance fee to the depositor.

So, this option may not be the best one.

Electronic wallet (deposit and withdrawal)

It is possible to deposit and withdraw from the iLottery using an e-wallet. Currently, the site will accept transactions from PayPal, one of the largest of e-wallets.

An e-wallet functions as a way station for online funds. Players can pay out of and receive payments into their accounts, and there is usually an extensive selection of acceptable deposit options for e-wallets.

Please note that the Pennsylvania iLottery requires that players have a confirmed PayPal account before they withdraw to it. So, it is quite likely that most e-wallet players will both deposit and withdraw using their PayPal accounts.

PayNearMe (deposit)

For players who prefer to use cash, PayNearMe is the way to go. PayNearMe is a service that allows players to fund their accounts in a cash transaction.

Essentially, the player will initiate the PayNearMe request, and PayNearMe will generate a custom barcode for the request. Then, the player can take the code to any 7-Eleven convenience store.

Once there, the clerk can scan the code, and the player can complete the transaction using any funds he or she wishes. So, preferring to use cash is not necessarily a problem for playing iLottery.

Play+ Prepaid Card (deposit and withdrawal)

A Play+ Prepaid Card is a gift card that one gives themselves. It is a branded card that allows for instant transactions between the player and the home of the card.

Some Play+ cards will also work wherever Discover cards are accepted. It is possible to withdraw cash from a prepaid card at selected ATMs.

iLottery WebCash (deposit)

Finally, cash players can make use of iLottery’s WebCash system to fund their accounts. Any lottery retailer can issue a WebCash voucher in the amount of the player’s designation.

Once the voucher is in hand, the player needs to visit the cashier on site. Then he or she must enter the unique number of the voucher, and the funds will credit instantly.

PA Lottery history

The Pennsylvania Lottery has been active in the Keystone State since 1972. The intent of the program was to fund initiatives for elderly residents in the state. Online lottery sales began in June 2018.

Since its inception, it has generated billions of dollars for older residents in the state. The program’s $1.14 billion in profit for the 2018-19 fiscal year marked the eighth year that proceeds exceeded $1 billion.

Those proceeds go to fund agencies like the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, which derives 78% of its budget from the lottery. Lottery profits entirely fund programs, including shared-ride and free-ride for senior citizens. Elderly citizens also receive substantial breaks on property tax and rent, thanks to the PA Lottery.

The iLottery has been live since 2018 and, contrary to early fears, it has not cannibalized the business of the traditional lottery offerings. Instead, revenues continue to grow each year, with a 7.2% year-over-year increase since its introduction.
