We cannot vouch for Drawbuy Co or any lottery reseller, and neither can anyone else who has not audited them. Here are the five checks to run yourself before you pay.
What this page is and is not: we cannot tell you whether any particular reseller is trustworthy. We have no commercial relationship with any of them, no way to audit their books, and no way to know how they treated the last customer who won something. What we can give you is the checklist we would use ourselves — and it is the same checklist whatever the site is called.
Readers arrive here having found a site offering to buy UAE draw entries on their behalf — Drawbuy Co, draw-buy.com, luckydrawbuy.com and a dozen near-identical names — and they want a yes or a no. We understand the impulse. We are not going to give you one, for three reasons that are worth stating plainly.
So instead: here is how to check, in the order that eliminates the most risk for the least effort.
Nobody legitimate charges you a fee to release a prize you have won. Not a tax, not a transfer charge, not a verification deposit, not a currency conversion fee, not an "unlocking" payment. Every real draw pays winnings out; none require money in first.
This single rule catches nearly every lottery fraud, because the fraud only works if money moves from you to them. If you remember one sentence from this page, that is the one — and it applies to a message about a draw you never entered just as much as to a site you were about to buy from.
For most people in the UAE there is no need for an intermediary at all. Entries to UAE number draws are sold by the operators themselves, online, in AED, to an account in your own name. That route removes every question above at once: you know who you paid, the entry is yours, and a prize is paid to the person who bought it.
Resellers exist mainly to serve people outside the country who cannot register or pay locally. If that is not your situation, the intermediary is adding cost and risk without adding anything.
Whatever you decide about buying, no legitimate site charges for results. Ours are free, live, and need no account — here is the current state of each Emirates Draw game, read from the same archive our results pages use:
If a site asks you to pay, register or install anything before it will show you a winning number, that alone tells you what it is.
We are an independent results archive. We do not sell entries, we take no commission from any operator or reseller, and no company has paid for a mention on this page. That independence is exactly why we will not certify a reseller as safe: we have no information you do not have, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest thing to do with your trust.
