Local Lotto

Local Lotto is an online lottery platform registered at the domain local-lotto.co.uk. The site describes itself as a convenient way for users to participate in lottery games and draws from home. That's a marketing claim from the site itself, not an independently verified description of its services.

The licence behind the site is a society lottery licence, a category used by charities, local authorities, and non-commercial bodies running lotteries for a specific purpose. West Northamptonshire Council has held this licence since 15 September 2021, making it just over four years in operation under UKGC oversight. The domain itself has existed since October 2017, giving it a longer web presence than the licensing period alone suggests.

There's no recorded enforcement action against the operator. But the operator's overall trust grade of C reflects a low enforcement score, which factors into how the operator is rated on available regulatory data. Consumers should weigh the legitimate council-backed licence against the limited transparency in operator-level detail.

The operator holds a single society lottery licence from the UKGC, granted on 15 September 2021, with no recorded expiry date. A society lottery licence permits the running of lotteries where proceeds go to a defined cause, typically a charity, community group, or public body. It doesn't cover commercial casino, betting, or bingo products.

The licensed operator behind Local Lotto is West Northamptonshire Council, a UK local authority. As a public body rather than a private company, it doesn't appear in Companies House records and has no director or PSC data associated with it. The council has held its UKGC licence for just over four years, and its regulatory status is currently active. Council-operated lotteries are a recognised category under UKGC licensing, typically run to raise funds for local causes.
