Overview
Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator
Macular Disease Society is a UK-based charitable organisation that holds a UKGC society lottery licence, allowing it to run fundraising lotteries that support its mission of helping people affected by macular disease. It's been licensed since January 2012, making it one of the longer-running charitable lottery operators on the UKGC register with over 14 years of continuous authorisation.
The stability score of 100 reflects a clean record across those 14 years. No warnings, suspensions, or revocations appear on record, and the longevity bonus contributes to a trust grade of C (69/100). The C grade itself isn't a concern for a charity lottery of this type. It reflects the thin corporate data available rather than any regulatory issues, and the enforcement score is a clean 25/25.
