Dr. Kershaw's Hospice Lottery is committed to ensuring that the Lottery is operated in a secure, fair and socially responsible way and to endorsing responsible gambling amongst its members.

The Gambling Commission regulates gambling in the public interest. The regulatory framework introduced by the Gambling Act 2005 is based on three licensing objectives:

1. Preventing gambling from being a source or crime and disorder, being associated with crime and disorder, or being used to support crime.
2. Ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way.
3. Protecting children and vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling.

Whilst the majority of people do gamble within their means, for some gambling can become a problem.

If you want to have a break from gambling you can use our self-exclusion option by emailing us at lottery@drkershawshospice.org.uk with your name, address and membership number(s). We will then close your membership(s) for a minimum period of 6 months, during which time it will not be possible for the account(s) to be re-opened for any reason.

If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then please view our links (www.gamcare.org.uk / www.rigt.org.uk / www.gambleaware.co.uk ) or contact other relevant / appropriate organisations.
