Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I sell my home, for my own benefit, through a lottery rather than using an estate agent?

No - lotteries can not be run for private or commercial gain.

If you are interested in running a competition where you offer your house or other property as the prize, please read the Gambling Commission’s guidance Prize competitions and free draws - The requirements of the Gambling Act 2005 - December 2009.

We do not provide advice on individual competitions.
