Register a small society lottery
Applications should be sent to our Licensing team.

We will refuse the application if, during 5 years up to the date of application, either:
- a previous operating licence held by the society has been revoked under Section 19(1) of the Gambling Act 2005
- an application for an operating licence made by the society has been refused
We may also refuse your application if we believe that either:
- the society is not a non-commercial society,
- a person who will be, or may be, connected with the promotion of the lottery has been convicted of a relevant offence
- information provided in, or with, the application is false or misleading
Fees
The following fees apply:
- £40 initial registration, including first year's fee
- £20 annual fee to keep the registration active after the first year
If you don't pay the annual fee, we may cancel your registration and a new application will have to be made.
