Small society lotteries (raffles)

If you want to run raffles, sweepstakes, tombolas or 100 clubs you should complete our lottery application form and pay the fee of £40. You will have to complete a lottery returns form (printable version) after every event and send it to the Licensing Team.

Gambling Act 2005 small society lottery guidance notes

An annual fee of £20 has to be paid on or before the anniversary of the licence. Failure to pay the fee will mean the licence will lapse and you will have to apply for a new licence. You can upload your application form and pay on Gov.uk. The consultation period for this application is 28 days. If you are unable to apply using the Gov.uk link, please email licensing@reading.gov.uk for assistance.

You can find out more about running these events on the Gambling Commission website.
