How UK Draw Ledger compares UK online lottery sites
UK Draw Ledger is an independent guide to UK online lottery sites. We do not sell tickets. We make the public facts — price, draw rhythm, and the published good-cause share — easy to read before you visit an operator.
- 1
A Gambling Commission licence comes first
Every lottery we list holds a current UK Gambling Commission licence. Without that licence, an operator never appears here. Licensing is checked before ticket price or charity messaging.
- 2
Price and how you pay
We note whether you buy a single draw ticket or join a monthly subscription, and what the operator charges today. A low headline price can still be a rolling payment, so the terms of cancellation sit next to the price.
- 3
The published good-cause share
Society and external lottery managers must be clear about proceeds. We repeat the percentage the operator publishes, and we link you to their page so you can confirm it. We do not invent a higher figure.

Independent by design
UK Draw Ledger may earn a commission if you continue to an operator through our links. That keeps the guide free. It does not change the checklist, and it does not make us the promoter of any draw.
Read the operator's own rules, set a limit you can afford, and only play if you are 18 or over. UK Draw Ledger is a comparison guide, not a lottery.
Frequently asked questions
Licences, ticket prices, charity shares and safer play — in plain English.
We only feature lottery operators that hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. A licence means the operator must protect player funds, check age, and offer safer-gambling tools. This website compares those operators. It does not run a lottery and it is not itself licensed.
Start with the ticket price and whether you pay once or by a monthly subscription. Then read how often winning numbers are drawn, how winners are told, and the percentage the operator says goes to good causes. Those figures are set by the operator, not by us, and they differ from one lottery to the next.
It depends on the operator, and only their own published figure counts. The Health Lottery states that 20% of each draw ticket and online scratchcard goes to good causes. Postcode Lottery states that a minimum of 30% of the ticket price goes to charity. Read the current statement on the operator's site before you play.
No. Some online lotteries sell a one-off ticket for a named draw. Others, including Postcode Lottery, use a monthly subscription that enters you into that month's draws and can be cancelled. Check the minimum term and how to stop payments in the operator's terms.
Yes. Online lottery play and prize claims are for adults aged 18 and over. Operators will ask you to confirm your age and identity. Underage gambling is an offence.
Stop, and use the free tools. You can self-exclude from UK-licensed sites at gamstop.co.uk, block gambling sites with Gamban, or call the National Gambling Helpline free on 0808 8020 133, any time.
