Gambling Application Forms

Lottery Registration

Lotteries are sometimes referred to as raffles, totes, draws, and tombolas. They are a means for societies and other qualifying organisations to raise funds.

In order to conduct a lottery, Societies must register with the Council where their principal office is located. We can only register Societies established for one or more of the following purposes:

for charitable purposes
for the purpose of enabling participation in, or of supporting, sport, athletics or a cultural activity
for any other non-commercial purpose other than that of private gain.

However, if the value of all tickets sold exceeds £20,000 for a single draw, or for the whole calendar year exceed £250,000 the society must register with the Gambling Commission.

Apply for a Licence

You are advised to read the relevant guidance and policy documents and contact the Licensing Department with any queries prior to completing an application.

You will need to provide the following items:

A copy of the constitution of the society
Names and addresses of Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary
The registration fee of £40

Lottery Returns

Registered societies are required to submit a completed for each individual lottery. The return must be submitted within three months of the date of the draw.

Renewing your licence

An annual permit renewal fee is £20. An invoice will be sent to the registered promoter for the annual fee and must be paid in the two months prior to the anniversary. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the registration. The fee can be paid by sending a cheque to the Licensing Department for the correct amount, made payable to 'Pembrokeshire County Council'.
