To run a raffle legally in the UK:
The need for a license depends on the nature and size of your raffle. Small, incidental lotteries do not require a license, just a registration with your local authority. If ticket sales are over £20,000 in a single lottery, or over £250,000 in a calendar year, you will require a lottery licence from the Gambling Commission. For more information click here
