Charity lotteries have quietly become one of the most popular ways to have a flutter in Britain. In fact, more adults now play a charity or society lottery than play online bingo, and plenty seem to be quietly swapping their bingo books for lottery tickets. And you know what? I suppose that makes sense.
A charity lottery is low-retention, same as bingo, a little weekly flutter rather than a night glued to a screen. But unlike the slots and the casino lobbies, you know exactly where the profits go. A lottery is basically the one-line version of bingo: pick your numbers, hope they come up, and a real slice of every ticket goes to a good cause instead of a bookmaker's back pocket. Win or lose, somebody's better off for it. That sits right with a lot of people, us included.
Because most of us have a cause close to our heart. For me it's the animals, I'm a cat and fox person through and through, and I've a soft spot for the woodland charities keeping our green bits green. For you it might be a hospice that looked after someone you loved, an air ambulance, a children's charity, a cancer or dementia cause, an armed forces charity, or something you've supported quietly for years. Animal welfare, hospices, air ambulances, health and medical, children and young people, older people, the environment, they're all here. Whatever matters to you, there's a lottery on this page for it.
Why There's No Money in It for Us
We'll be straight, because we always are. Everywhere else on Glitzy Bingo, if you sign up to a site through us, we might earn a commission. Not here. Every link on this page is free advertising, given gladly, with nothing coming back to us. No affiliate deals, no kickbacks, no catch. It's simply our way of using whatever reach we've built to point people towards the good stuff.
We're a small independent site that's had its own knocks, so we know what it means when someone gives you a leg-up for nothing. This is us doing the same, in our own small way.
“pick your numbers, hope they come up, and a real slice of every ticket goes to a good cause”
All Licensed, All Legitimate
Every lottery listed here is run by a registered charity and licensed by the UK Gambling Commission to run lotteries and raffles. We've included the UKGC licence number for each one, so you can see for yourself that it's the real thing. No fakes, no chancers, no dodgy "donate now" scams dressed up as a raffle. Just genuine charities doing genuine good.
By law, a fair share of every charity-lottery ticket has to go to the cause, and often it's a good deal more. So if you fancy a regular flutter, or just want to buy the odd ticket for a charity you believe in, you know exactly where your money's headed.
Have a Look, Have a Flutter
Browse by cause, find something that speaks to you, and if you fancy it, buy a ticket. You might win, you might not, but a charity wins either way. And that's a nicer feeling than any jackpot, if you ask me. Pick a cause, play if you like, and know you've done a good turn while you're at it.
And if it's the flutter you're after as much as the good cause, the rest of Glitzy Bingo is right here waiting. Have a look at our bingo site guides when you're done, or find a bingo hall near you. Same little thrill, different good night out.
