Overview

Operator Type: External lottery manager

Tele-Bank Limited is a UK-based external lottery manager, licensed by the Gambling Commission to run lotteries on behalf of charitable and good-cause organisations. The company was incorporated in York in 2002 and has held its UKGC licence continuously since February 2020, trading under the name elovate. With six years of uninterrupted licensing and a clean regulatory record, it earns a trust score of 70 and a stability score of 100.

External lottery managers don't operate lotteries for profit in their own right. They provide the infrastructure and management services that allow charities and other good-cause bodies to run compliant lotteries. Tele-Bank Limited's wholly UK-based company structure and directors give it a domestic score of 100, placing it among the more locally accountable operators in this category.

The absence of any enforcement history is consistent with its stability score and reinforces a clean operational record across its licensed period. For charities considering a lottery management partner, Tele-Bank Limited's continuous licensing and clean record are straightforward positives worth noting.
