	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2020 answer text <p>Workplace lotteries are a class of private lottery that is exempt from Gambling Commission licensing or registration with a local authority. They are only permitted at single work locations. The Gambling Act 2005 prohibits advertising workplace lotteries outside of the premises, which includes by email or via a workplace intranet. This ensures that workplace lotteries remain an appropriate size and are distinct from small society lotteries.</p><p>Government last considered regulations for workplace and other exempt lotteries in 2016, and introduced reforms to reduce bureaucracy and enable promoters to donate proceeds to charity.</p><p>I have no plans to make any further changes at present.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 08/09/2020 13:34:34 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
