Macular Society Lottery

Macular Society Lottery is the official lottery for the Macular Society, a UK charity focused on eye health. It's operated directly by the charity itself, Macular Disease Society, which holds a licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). This isn't a typical commercial gambling site, as its purpose is to raise funds for the charity's work.

According to its website, the lottery offers weekly draws and is managed by an External Lottery Manager to ensure compliance. The site states it uses a certified Random Number Generator (RNG) for its draws. It also claims to provide responsible gambling tools, including self-exclusion options, as required by its UKGC licence.

The operator, Macular Disease Society, holds an active Society Lottery licence from the UKGC. This type of licence permits a non-commercial society to run lotteries to raise funds for its own purposes. The licence has been active since 6 January 2012.

The operator, Macular Disease Society, has no recorded regulatory actions from the UK Gambling Commission.

The brand is run by Macular Disease Society, a registered charity. Unlike commercial gambling companies, its primary goal isn't profit but fundraising. The organisation has held its UKGC licence continuously since 6 January 2012, showing a long history of regulated operation in Great Britain.

As a charity rather than a limited company, it isn't listed on Companies House. Its regulatory status is managed directly by the UKGC and the Charity Commission.
