A registration certificate is required if it a society wishes to sell tickets to raise money over a period of time. You must apply to the local authority in which the head office of the society is based.
The registration needs to be renewed annually at a cost of £20 per year (a reminder will be sent to you two months before the renewal date).
Am I eligible to apply for a small society lottery registration?
Yes, if you represent a society which is a non-commercial organisation established for: 1/ charitable purposes, 2/ the purpose of enabling participation in, or of supporting, sport, athletics or a cultural activity, 3/ or any other non-commercial purpose other than that of private gain. The total value of tickets to be put on sale per single lottery must be £20,000 or less, or the aggregate value of tickets to be put on sale for all their lotteries in a calendar year must not exceed £250,000. If the operator plans to exceed either of these values then they will be classed as a large lottery operator, and must be licensed with the Gambling Commission instead.
