<p>Licensing of society lotteries is the responsibility of the Gambling Commission.
Their most recent figures from March 2017 show there are 319 lotteries that hold two
licences. One licence is required to sell by remote channels (such as online or over
the telephone) and a separate licence is required to sell by non-remote channels (in
person).</p><p> </p><p>There are three charities that hold multiple licences. These
are Macmillan, Royal British Legion and Age UK.</p><p> </p><p>Some societies also
come together under a common umbrella brand, managed by licensed External Lottery
Managers. The societies that make up an umbrella brand are legally separate to each
other and will each hold the relevant licence.</p>
