Advice Note 9.pdfThis leaflet aims to provide a simple guide to the legislation. It does not set out to provide a definitive interpretation of the law.
Readers are recommended to seek the advice of their own legal advisers and to refer to the law on lotteries in Northern Ireland, 'Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements (NI) Order 1985', as amended by the 'Betting and Lotteries (NI) Order 1994' Order, and 'Lotteries Regulations (NI) 1994'.
The Order and Regulations set out the rules which must be followed in order to run a legal lottery in Northern Ireland.

The Gambling Act mainly applies to England and Wales, to a lesser extent in Scotland and has little application in Northern Ireland.
It was expected that the legislation would be extended to Northern Ireland via an Order in Council but this will not be the case. Currently the only provisions that have any application in Northern Ireland are sections 43 (chain gift schemes), 331 (foreign gambling) and 340 (foreign betting). These provisions have no effect on our advice note and as such our advice note on lotteries is up to date.
