100 Club with a national charity

"Big" in this context means chances in each lottery worth more than £20,000, or total of £250k per annum.

The Code of Practice lays all this out fairly clearly.

"Lotteries need to be registered in the local authority where they will be drawn, or where the beneficiary charity has it's head office. However, if you want to go big you'll need a Gaming Licence, which is sightly different, and MUCH more rigorous on the reporting."

How big is big?:D

Hi, Chris

A 100 Club to raise funds nationally? Interesting!

You haven't given any idea of how much you want to raise - 100Clubs are typically used for raising relatively small amounts of revenue.

To follow the logic of a 100 Club properly, I suspect you would want to have several, possibly per region. You could, however, take it out of the 100 straightjacket - maybe a 1m club? Much more aspirational!

Have a look at the relevant bit here, and come back to me (off list, if you like) for further discussion. [url]http://www.beldons.co.uk/other.htm[/url]

If you're registered with the Gaming Board, you'll need to follow their rules.
