The Gambling Act 2005

As it is an offence for anyone under the age of 16 to participate in a lottery, Pendleside Hospice Lottery now has a statutory duty to verify that members are 16 years old. By becoming a member you agree to us carrying out any checks that are deemed appropriate to verify this requirement, including if necessary seeking confirmation from relevant agencies that can provide such information. Should a prize winner be found to be under the age of 16 we will refund their money and withhold the prize.
Pendleside Hospice Lottery will accept any requests for self-exclusion. A no mailer tick box will be ticked on the lottery software to prevent any marketing material being sent to anyone who has self-excluded themselves. Customers wishing to self-exclude will not be able to rejoin the lottery for a minimum of 6 months after which a review will take place. A log will be kept of any known breaches of self-exclusion and any individuals wishing to return to gambling. A register will also be kept of all self-excluded members. Anyone making a request to rejoin the lottery after a minimum of 6 months self-exclusion must do so via telephone or in person; re-registering online is not sufficient, and they must be given one day to cool off before being allowed to gamble again.
Any customer known to be or suspected of using the proceeds of crime to gamble will be reported to the National Crime Agency (NCA) under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and dealt with in accordance with our policy.
All complaints or disputes will be dealt with in accordance with our policy, a copy of which is available from the Lottery Office. In the event that a complaint or dispute cannot be resolved then it will be referred to an arbitration body which as we are a member of the Hospice Lotteries Association will be The Independent Arbitration Service Ltd (IBAS) www.ibas-uk.com Telephone 020 7347 5883.
