For Gambling Commission licensed society lotteries
If lottery ticket vending machines are being used to dispense and sell licensed society lottery tickets the society and external lottery manager (ELM) (if one is used) maintain overall responsibility for the lottery. They must ensure the lottery adheres to the Licence conditions and codes of practice (LCCP) attached to the society or ELM licence which includes having the required age verification, self-exclusion, problem gambling and social responsibility policies and procedures in place as well as adherence to any other relevant regulations.
It is also the responsibility of the society or ELM to ensure that lottery ticket vending machines are sited in a place either with supervision or oversight so that only those 16 or over can play and the machines have adequate age signage.
Lottery tickets being dispensed must meet the relevant ticket requirements set out in the LCCP.
Societies licensed with the Commission must also take account of our guidance on providing information to lottery players when dispensing and selling lottery tickets. See our guidance Information to lottery players: proceeds and prizes for more information.
