Raffles, Sweepstakes and Lottery Guidelines Raffles and sweepstakes can be a brilliant way of raising money! To help you get started there are a few things you need to know to ensure your activity is legal. If a participant is required to pay to enter a draw to win a prize which is awarded by chance then it s classed as a lottery and this includes small or large raffles and/or sweepstakes. A lottery has three essential elements: npayment is required to participate none or more prizes are awarded nthose prizes are awarded by chance If your activity has all three elements of a lottery then it must be carefully structured into one of the categories specifically permitted by law. The most common raffles are those that are classed as exempt from registration with a local authority or requiring a licence like those promoted at events or in the workplace, for example. We have created this simple guide to help you plan your fundraising. We are here to help!

If you want to sell raffle tickets to the general public in advance of the draw and through various types of media and/or locations then this is a Small Society Lottery. You do not require a licence but you will need to register your company or fundraising group as a society with the local authority in the area where the principal office of the society is located. You cannot register your society as Barnardo s Children s Charity. To find out more information please contact us, your local authority, or visit www.gamblingcommision.gov.uk.
