Non-remote external lottery manager (ELM) operating licence
Lotteries can only be run for good causes and cannot be run for commercial gain.
This licence allows you to manage a lottery on behalf of a society or local authority.
External lottery managers
A society or local authority lottery may employ an external lottery manager (ELM) to make the arrangements for the lottery on their behalf. All ELMs must hold an ELM operating licence.
ELMs are commercial companies that manage lotteries and provide services to society and local authority lotteries. ELMs may need to hold both a remote and non-remote licence if they are involved in promoting both types of lottery.
