Answer
Exempt lotteries (raffles) includes incidental lotteries, private lotteries, customer lotteries and small society lotteries registered with local authorities. Only small society lotteries require any form of formal approval, and this is at a local level.
As exempt lotteries are not centrally licensed, we do not hold information on the numbers of lotteries promoted
