For local authority registered society lotteries

Local authority registered society lotteries can also sell lottery tickets via lottery ticket vending machines. If the lottery ticket vending machine is selling tickets on behalf of an LA registered society they must adhere to Schedule 11, Part 4 of the Gambling Act 2005 (opens in new tab).

If lottery ticket vending machines are being used to dispense local authority registered society lottery tickets the society maintains overall responsibility for the lottery which includes ensuring it adheres to all the relevant legislative requirements attached to an LA registered society lottery registration and any other relevant regulations.

It is also the responsibility of the society 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 Schedule 11, Part 4 of the Gambling Act 2005.
