Lyme Lottery

Lyme Lottery is a UK-licensed online lottery at lymelottery.co.uk. The site states it offers players the chance to win prizes while supporting local community projects, operating under a society lottery licence granted to Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. Unlike commercial gambling operators, this lottery is run by a local council, which gives it a public accountability structure that private companies don't have.

The operator has held its UK Gambling Commission society lottery licence since 4 July 2017, giving it over eight years of continuous licensing. There are no recorded regulatory actions against the operator. That said, the operator's trust grade of C reflects a lower enforcement score, which affects overall scoring independent of its clean record.

The operator holds a Society Lottery licence from the UK Gambling Commission, which permits the running of online lotteries for the benefit of a non-commercial society or public body. This type of licence is distinct from commercial casino or betting licences. It was granted on 4 July 2017 and remains active with no expiry date recorded.

Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council is the licensed operator behind Lyme Lottery. It's a UK local government authority rather than a private company, which means there's no Companies House registration or private directorship structure to review. The council has held its UKGC society lottery licence for over eight years. As a public body, it's subject to local government accountability rules alongside its gambling licence obligations.
