lottery law, skill gaming and quiz competitons

Since the removal of the prohibition on marketing any foreign lotteries in the UK, the market has potentially opened up to the development of offshore commercial lotteries that could compete with the National Lottery.  We have been involved in advising on such developments along with applying for UK licences to operate society lotteries and for external lottery managers.   We believe that there will be some exciting new business propositions in the online lottery sector in the near future.

Over the years, we have advised on numerous schemes involving identifying and clarifying the relationship (previously under the old law and more recently under the Gambling Act 2005) between lotteries, skill games and prize competitions and their respective regulation in law.
