Overview
Gambling Connection: The Labour Party holds an active UKGC operator licence, first granted on 28 June 2023, most likely in connection with lottery-style fundraising activities that require formal UKGC authorisation.
The Labour Party is one of the UK's two main political parties, classified as an 'other' entity type given its status as an unincorporated association rather than a registered private company. UKGC records show the party received its gambling licence on 28 June 2023, making it a relatively recent entrant to the register with around two and a half years of licensing history.
Political parties sometimes hold UKGC licences to run lottery-style prize draws or raffles as part of their fundraising activities. That's the likely context for The Labour Party's presence in the UKGC register. It isn't a commercial gambling operator in any conventional sense, and its UKGC registration reflects a specific fundraising compliance requirement.
