Manufacture or supply of lottery ticket vending machines

No specific permission is required to manufacture or supply lottery ticket vending machines but those who supply them can only supply the machine to a licensed or registered society lottery, External Lottery Manager (ELM) or the promoter of a private lottery.

The suppliers of such machines must be careful to ensure that the services they offer do not constitute ‘promoting a lottery’ (see Section 252 of the Gambling Act 2005 (opens in new tab). If the machine supplier is promoting a lottery they will need to be licensed by the Gambling Commission as an External Lottery Manager.
