UKGC outlines registration and licensing thresholds for small society lotteries
By SectorWire desk · · Updated
Summary
The UKGC's lotteries toolkit says small society lotteries must register with the local authority covering their principal office. Societies must seek a UKGC operating licence if proceeds exceed £20,000 for one draw or £250,000 across a year.
Why it matters
Lottery societies need a UKGC licence when proceeds exceed £20,000 per draw or £250,000 annually, making these thresholds operationally significant.
