TW Lotto

TW Lotto is an online lottery platform running under a society lottery licence granted to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council by the UK Gambling Commission. The licence has been active since 10 April 2017, giving the operator close to nine years of continuous regulated operation. Society lotteries of this kind are run by or on behalf of non-commercial bodies, which distinguishes TW Lotto from commercial gambling operators.

The site describes itself as a UK-licensed lottery platform where players can enter various lottery draws. The domain has been registered since December 2016 and carries a valid SSL certificate with TLS 1.3 support, along with standard DNS email authentication protections in place. The domain is registered through Namecheap and is due for renewal in December 2026.

The operator holds one licence from the UK Gambling Commission: a society lottery licence, granted on 10 April 2017 with no listed expiry date. A society lottery licence permits a non-commercial body to run lotteries where proceeds go towards a good cause. This type of licence is distinct from remote casino or betting licences held by commercial operators and carries its own set of UKGC conditions around prize limits and proceeds allocation.

The licensed operator behind TW Lotto is Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, a UK local authority holding UKGC account number 47470. Local authorities can hold society lottery licences to raise funds for public or charitable purposes, which sets this operator apart from privately owned gambling companies. Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has held its licence continuously since April 2017, giving it nearly nine years of regulated operation. As a local authority, it isn't registered at Companies House in the same way a private company would be, so there's no company number or incorporation date in UKGC records.
