This isn't quite a vent, moan or praise...yet, as I know nothing about this website but has anyone used the following website syndicatetool dot com it claims to help manage your Lottery syndicate. I'm the manager of a syndicate at work and currently collect money each week and buy tickets and have to check the tickets weekly.
I am looking at doing it all online and get everyone to pay into an account using standing order. The issue there is that no banks do bank accounts specifically for lottery syndicates anymore, due to account holders not keeping any money in the account for any length of time. Plus I don't really want the hassle, or responsibility of opening a basic current account in my name, plus if 'when' we win a huge amount there is the issue of tax!
So I did some searches on the internet and I found syndicatetool dot com that says that it helps you to manage the syndicate, buys lottery tickets for you and if you win it shares the winnings equally between all those that paid that week.
Has anyone used this website?? I can't find anyone who has and could do with some feedback as to whether or not its reliable and trustworthy.
Cheers :j

Not just no address, but the site is run by a Ltd company and has no company details on it as is required.
Definitely one to avoid. I wouldn't be surprised if any personal details given are spammed mercilessly - how else will a Ltd company be making any money from the site.0 -
Thanks Dale, I thought as much as it did seem to be too good to be true, and easy to use the software!
Cheers

i do our work syndicate, 14 of us all on line paying me by standing order, and a continious direct debit set up online for the tickets. i dont have to do anythig!!
i used an 'old' free tsb account i hadnt used for a while for the payments to go into
as long as you get everyone to fill out and sign the lottery syndicate form u can get from the lottery website im sure ur covered for the tax.0
