Application and Registration
A society must be registered with us throughout the period during which the lottery is promoted. Parts 4 and 5 of Schedule 11 of the Act set out the requirements for societies and licensing authorities as regards registration of small society lotteries.
The society is required to be registered with the local authority in the area where there principal office is located. If the local authority considers that the society’s principle office is situated in another area it shall inform the society as soon as possible and also notify the other appropriate local authority.
The application must be in the form prescribed by regulations and will need to be accompanied by the prescribed fee of £40.
We will record details of the society and keep the details on a register. Whilst this does not have to be a public register, the Gambling Commission have recommended that licensing authorities make the register available to the public on request.
