Overview
Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator
Macmillan Cancer Information Lottery was a UK-registered society lottery operator linked to the cancer charity Macmillan Cancer Support. It held a UKGC society lottery licence from January 2016 until its surrender, running a lottery to raise funds in support of Macmillan's charitable mission. The operator never had a clean, live consumer website presence and its sole registered domain was marked inactive by the regulator.
The licence was surrendered before its expiry date of December 2023, and the operating company was formally dissolved in November 2024. Despite a clean enforcement record and a perfect stability score, the trust grade sits at F (48/100), reflecting the surrendered licence status, dissolved company, and the absence of any active online or technical presence.
Macmillan Cancer Information Lottery is no longer operational. Consumers should not attempt to engage with it as a gambling service.
