Effective Date: 15/08/2026

These Terms and Conditions apply to participation in the National 50:50 Raffle. Please read them carefully before purchasing an entry or setting up a subscription.

1. Promoter

1.1 The National 50:50 Raffle (“50:50 Raffle”) is promoted by:

National 50:50 CIC
Company Registration No: **17197258 **
Unit 49, Atcham Business Park
Shrewsbury
SY4 4UG

(“National 50:50”, “we”, “us” or the “Promoter”).

1.2 National 50:50 CIC is registered by Shropshire Council for the purposes of operating a Small Society Lottery.

Small Society Lottery Registration No: GASSLR1319

1.3 The 50:50 Raffle is operated for the purpose of raising funds for good causes, including participating sports foundations, charities, community organisations and other eligible organisations (“Participating Foundations”).

2. General

2.1 By purchasing an entry into the National 50:50 Raffle, an entrant (“Entrant”, “you” or “your”) agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and any additional rules displayed for the relevant draw.

2.2 Participation is entirely voluntary.

2.3 The National 50:50 Raffle is a fundraising lottery designed to generate funds for Participating Foundations and other eligible good causes while giving Entrants the opportunity to win a cash prize.

2.4 All entries are subject to applicable UK gambling legislation and the requirements applicable to the registration under which the lottery is operated.

2.5 National 50:50 reserves the right to refuse or cancel an entry where it reasonably believes accepting the entry would breach these Terms and Conditions, applicable legislation or regulatory requirements.

3. Eligibility and Age Verification

3.1 Entrants must meet the minimum legal age applicable to participation in the National 50:50 Raffle.

3.2 National 50:50 operates age-verification safeguards and carries out age verification checks on purchases.

3.3 By purchasing an entry, you confirm that you satisfy the applicable minimum-age requirement.

3.4 National 50:50 may request further information or documentation to verify an Entrant’s age, identity or eligibility.

3.5 National 50:50 reserves the right to suspend an account, reject an entry or withhold payment of a prize where an Entrant fails an age or eligibility verification check.

3.6 An entry purchased by a person who is not legally eligible to participate will be treated in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

4. How the 50:50 Raffle Works

4.1 Each raffle entry costs £1.

4.2 Entries may be purchased individually or, where offered, through a monthly subscription providing entries into weekly draws.

4.3 For each individual 50:50 draw, the total proceeds received from eligible ticket sales will first be reduced by the reasonable costs and expenses attributable to operating and administering the raffle.

These may include, where applicable:

• payment and transaction processing fees;
• technology and platform costs;
• regulatory and registration costs;
• administration;
• marketing and promotional costs;
• draw administration and verification; and
• other reasonable costs directly associated with operating the 50:50 Raffle.

4.4 The amount remaining after these reasonable costs and expenses have been deducted is referred to as the Net Raffle Proceeds.

4.5 The Net Raffle Proceeds are then divided:

50% to the winning Entrant

and

50% to the relevant Participating Foundation(s) or good cause(s).

4.6 The Winner’s prize is therefore calculated as 50% of the Net Raffle Proceeds after applicable reasonable operating costs have been deducted.

4.7 Where a prize value is displayed before ticket sales have closed, that figure may be an estimate. The final prize will depend upon eligible ticket sales and applicable costs for that draw.

4.8 The final prize value will be confirmed following closure of ticket sales and calculation of the Net Raffle Proceeds.

5. Purchasing Entries

5.1 National 50:50 operates a digital-only raffle.

5.2 No cash purchases are accepted.

5.3 Entries may be purchased through authorised National 50:50 digital channels, which may include:

• the National 50:50 website;
• Participating Foundation webpages;
• QR codes;
• NFC-enabled links;
• authorised digital payment links; and
• other National 50:50 approved digital channels.

5.4 Each individual raffle entry costs £1.

5.5 Entrants may purchase one or more £1 entries in a single transaction. Transaction fees may apply to individual or multiple-entry purchases and, where applicable, will be clearly displayed to the Entrant before payment is completed.

5.6 The total amount payable, including any applicable transaction fee, will be shown before the Entrant confirms payment.

5.7 Payment must be successfully authorised before an entry becomes valid.

5.8 Following successful payment, the Entrant will receive electronic confirmation of their entry and associated raffle ticket number(s).

5.9 Entrants are responsible for ensuring that the personal and contact information supplied when purchasing entries is accurate.

5.10 Entries cannot be transferred to another person after purchase.

5.11 Unless otherwise required by law, completed raffle purchases are final and non-refundable.

6. Monthly Subscriptions and Weekly Draws

6.1 Where available, Entrants may choose to participate through a monthly subscription.

6.2 The standard subscription is £5 per month and provides the subscriber with one £1 entry into each applicable weekly National 50:50 draw during their active subscription.

6.3 The subscription price has been structured to accommodate the annual pattern of weekly draws, including calendar months in which five weekly draws may take place.

6.4 The monthly subscription is therefore a recurring participation arrangement and should not be interpreted as the purchase of exactly five entries in every calendar month.

6.5 National 50:50 and/or its authorised payment provider will automatically collect the agreed subscription payment using the payment method authorised by the subscriber.

6.6 Subscription entries will only be issued while the subscription remains active and the relevant subscription payment has been successfully processed.

6.7 If a subscription payment is declined, rejected, cancelled or otherwise unsuccessful, entries may not be issued for the applicable draw(s) until the subscription payment has been successfully processed.

6.8 Subscribers may cancel their subscription at any time using the cancellation facility provided by National 50:50.

6.9 Cancellation will prevent future subscription payments but will not normally cancel or refund entries already issued or purchased.

6.10 National 50:50 will provide subscribers with appropriate information concerning recurring payments, cancellation and any material changes to their subscription.

7. Draw Periods and Closing Times

7.1 Each raffle will have a specified opening and closing time.

7.2 Entries successfully purchased before the applicable closing time will be included in that draw.

7.3 Entries received after a draw has closed may, where clearly stated during purchase, be allocated to the next available draw.

7.4 National 50:50 will take reasonable steps to clearly communicate applicable draw closing times.

7.5 National 50:50 may change a draw date or closing time where circumstances outside its reasonable control make this necessary.

8.2 Following closure of the draw, one valid entry will be selected at random from all eligible entries included in that draw.

8.3 The selection will be undertaken using an appropriate random selection process operated in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

8.4 The selected entry will be the Winning Entry, and the eligible holder of that entry will be the Winner.

8.5 National 50:50’s determination of the Winning Entry will be final, subject to applicable law and regulatory requirements.

9. Odds of Winning

9.1 The odds of any individual £1 entry winning depend upon the total number of valid entries included in that particular draw.

9.2 Every valid £1 entry has an equal chance of being selected.

9.3 Purchasing additional entries increases the number of entries held by an Entrant but does not guarantee a prize.

10.1 As National 50:50 operates digitally, the Winner will normally be identifiable from the information associated with the Winning Entry.

10.2 National 50:50 will contact the Winner using their registered email address, telephone number and/or other contact information held in connection with their entry.

10.6 National 50:50 will never require a legitimate Winner to pay a fee in order to release their prize.

11.1 National 50:50 will make reasonable efforts to contact the Winner using the contact details supplied when entering.
