| Licensed Lotteries | Total non-remote lotteries managed (Gambling Commission lotteries, Local Authority lotteries) | The total number of non-remote lottery draws you have managed on behalf of Commission licensed societies and local authorities. This includes all lotteries even if you have only managed part of that lottery (such as reconciliation of ticket sales or registration of players) |
| Licensed Lotteries | Total non-remote sales (£) (Commission lotteries, Local Authority lotteries) | The total value of non-remote lottery draws you have managed on behalf of Commission licensed societies and local authorities. This includes all lotteries even if you have only managed part of that lottery (such as reconciliation of ticket sales or registration of players). Where you have made the arrangements for any part of the lottery you must only record the proportion of the proceeds of the lottery generated by your activity. For example, if you ‘made arrangements’ in respect of one aspect of the lottery campaign such as direct mail, you are only required to report the proceeds generated by that aspect of the lottery. You may have to obtain this information from the society. |
