Lottostar’s own Lottostar withdrawal guide does not name Capitec or any bank-specific rule. It says you must have your FICA documents submitted and approved before withdrawing, then request a withdrawal by one of the listed methods, including EFT. A Capitec account is paid like any other bank account by EFT.
Lottostar says winnings are paid out via an FNB account and that banks other than FNB may take up to 48 hours to reflect the money. That guide is undated, so check Lottostar’s current terms before relying on it.
Eligibility Requirements at a Glance
- FICA documents submitted and approved before you can withdraw
- A withdrawal method Lottostar offers: FNB eWallet, Absa CashSend, EFT or Instant Money from Standard Bank
- For a Capitec account, EFT is the method that applies
- Minimum age, own-name account rule and minimum withdrawal amount: not stated in the guide we read, so check Lottostar’s terms and conditions
Identification and Account Requirements
Lottostar asks for an ID or passport as part of FICA. Its guide does not say that the bank account must be in your name, though banks and operators commonly expect this, so confirm it with Lottostar before you submit banking details.
Capitec is not named in the guide. Lottostar does not publish a Capitec-specific process in anything we could read.
Documents and Verification Required
Lottostar says the following must be submitted and approved before a withdrawal:
- ID or passport
- Proof of address, no older than 3 months
- Bank statement or bank confirmation letter, no older than 3 months
For Capitec, the bank confirmation letter or statement should come from your own Capitec account. Ask Capitec how to get that document.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I withdraw from Lottostar to Capitec?
Lottostar lists EFT as a withdrawal method, and Capitec is a bank account that can receive EFT. The guide does not name Capitec, so confirm with Lottostar if you see an error.

ID or passport, proof of address and a bank statement or bank confirmation letter. The proof of address and bank document must be no older than 3 months.
How long does a withdrawal take?

Can I withdraw to an account in another name?

My withdrawal has not arrived. What now?
Check that your documents are approved and that it has been past the 48-hour window for non-FNB banks. Then ask Lottostar in writing whether it was released, with the date and reference, and take that to Capitec if it was.
Why would my bank reject the payment?
Lottostar does not list reasons. Check the account number, branch code and account type against a bank statement, and ask Capitec about limits on your account type.
