UK Society Lotteries

Introduction
This page is intended to support collaboration in civil society on the key concerns and opportunities to review UK rules that govern Society lotteries.

The UK Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee held an inquiry into society lottery reform in 2015.

The Government is now consulting on their proposals for society lottery reform, including sales and price limits and proposing significant lifting of the current caps in place.
