Overview
Gambling Connection: North Yorkshire Council holds a UKGC gambling licence, which public sector bodies typically use for the operation of small society lotteries or other permitted civic fundraising activities under the Gambling Act 2005.
North Yorkshire Council is a local authority rather than a commercial gambling business. Its presence in the UKGC's licensed operator register reflects a specific permitted activity, likely related to the operation of small society lotteries, prize competitions, or similar charitable and civic fundraising activities that fall under the Gambling Act 2005.
The council has maintained an active licence since 5 July 2018, a period of over seven years without interruption. That kind of unbroken licensing record is a mark of consistent regulatory compliance, and it's the sort of track record that the Gambling Commission requires of all licence holders regardless of whether they're commercial or public sector operators.
