National Lottery (Protection Of Central Fund) Bill 2018

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The National Lottery (Protection of Central Fund) Bill 2018 aims to protect money raised for good causes by stopping bookmakers and betting intermediaries from offering bets on National Lottery results. It would add a condition to betting licences so operators could not directly or indirectly take or promote bets on any lottery game, including online and offshore offers. If a licence holder broke that rule, the Minister could seek to have the licence revoked.
