Overview

Operator Type: Charitable lottery operator

Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter is a UK-registered charitable incorporated organisation that holds a society lottery licence granted by the UK Gambling Commission in January 2025. Its lottery is run to support animal welfare activities, and it operates through the lottery.donr.com platform rather than a standalone website, which is common for smaller charities using third-party lottery providers.

The operator carries a trust score of 70 out of 100 (Grade B), reflecting a clean licensing record since its UKGC registration and no enforcement history to date. Its stability score sits at a perfect 100, with no revocations, suspensions, or warnings on record. That's a solid start for a newly licensed organisation, though its short licence history means the longevity component of its score is limited.

As a charitable body, Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter doesn't compete with commercial gambling operators. Its lottery licence exists to raise funds for the shelter's work, making it a narrow-purpose, cause-driven licence holder rather than a general gaming business.
