Information to organisers of charity lotteries: Preprinted lottery tickets and mandatory information
If you, the origaniser of a charity lottery with a licence for a new sales period from the Danish Gambling Authority, have preprinted lottery tickets, on which the mandatory text is no longer accurate due to the covid-19 situation, the Danish Gambling Authority recommend alternatives to reprints.Â
The Danish Gambling Authority recommends the following alternative:
Â
- That the organiser prepares an information letter including the adjusted dates stated on the lottery ticket. Â
- That the information letter is attached to each lottery ticket, which is sold from now.Â
- That, as far as possible, proper notice of the changes to the mandatory text is given to participant who have purchased a lottery ticket prior to the change of dates in the mandatory text.Â
- That information about the changes is clearly communicated via eg. website, user interface or similar where it makes sense.Â
Changes to the mandatory text due to covid-19 are expected to affect one or more of the following information:
- Period of the lottery settlement.Â
- Date of draw (To be stated only in case of non-pre-drawn lottery tickets).
- Time of publication of the lottery result.
- Deadline for payout of prizes.
- Date, when the accounts are available.
Mandatory information appears from section 6(2)(1-12) of the Executive Order on charity lotteries.Â
If you have any questions as to how you, as an organiser of a charity lottery, should act in this exceptional situation, you are encouraged to contact the Danish Gambling Authority.Â
We will endeavour to respond to your inquiry as soon as possible. Â
Take good care of yourself and each other.
