Overview

Operator Type: Charitable society lottery operator

Moorfields Eye Charity is a registered charity that holds a UKGC society lottery licence, using lottery activity to raise funds in support of eye health causes linked to Moorfields Eye Hospital. It's been continuously licensed since September 2015 and has held that licence without interruption for over a decade. The operator runs no consumer-facing gambling websites and operates entirely offline, which is typical for a charity of this kind.

With a trust score of 72 (Grade B) and a perfect stability score of 100, Moorfields Eye Charity has a clean regulatory record. No enforcement actions have been taken against it by the UKGC. Its domestic score of 100 reflects that the organisation is UK-incorporated, independently run, and governed by a board drawn entirely from UK residents.

The charity structure means there are no persons with significant control in the commercial sense. It's a company limited by guarantee, governed by trustees rather than shareholders, with all surpluses directed to charitable purposes rather than private profit.
