    Hi. I was hoping for a little help

    I run a growing lotto syndicate at work.

    I have been trying to figure out an easier way to pay lotto.ie .

    I dont want a connection between my main personal bank account and the national lottery site, as it kind of looks bad when I spend 60+ euro a week buying lotto tickets. I actually play for free as I run it.
    I believe it would look like I am gambling lots of money when in fact its a syndicate. Which may affect my credit.

    I have tried Revolut and N26 cards but after contacting the lotto , they wont accept them as they are not Irish.

    Can you help me, Is there an Irish prepaid card?

    As youre getting it for free, would you not nip into a shop on your way home from work?

    Three do a prepaid card, but topups and monthly charges are involved. €3 per month and €2 per top up up to 60 and €3 above. (something along those line.

    Sounds like overkill for something like this. Tell the syndicate to pay in cash and go to the shop. Why are you the only one tasked with collecting money and getting tickets? In one workplace we rotated it so that it was about once every six months you had to collect and buy.

    Going to a shop can be a pain in the hole depending on the time of day. Would the An Post one work for what you need or are they only for sterling and dollars?

    Actually its handy at the moment as i insist all money get sent to a Revolut card with an Iban number. As soon as folks get paid, they just transfer it to me from their own bank accounts. . No running around hunting for money..

    The icing on the cake would be to play via the app.

    But they make it very difficult.

    Nice discount on my leccy bill as well.
