Small society lotteries
Society lotteries (also known as raffles) are promoted for the benefit of a non-commercial society. A society is non-commercial if it is established and conducted:
- for charitable purposes
- for the purpose of enabling participation in, or of supporting, sport, athletics or a cultural activity
- for any other purpose other than that of private gain
A large society lottery:
- has proceeds that exceed £20,000 for a single draw
- has aggregate proceeds from lotteries in excess of £250,000 in any one year
A small society lottery:
- does not have proceeds that exceed £20,000 for a single draw
- does not have aggregate proceeds from lotteries in excess of £250,000 in any one year
More information regarding society lotteries is available from the Gambling Commission.
