Step-by-step permit application<\/h3>

Step 1 \u2013 Preparation<\/strong>
Determine the purpose, the draw, and the prizes. Collect the necessary information, such as articles of association, Chamber of Commerce extract, and an overview of the prizes.<\/p>

Step 2 \u2013 Determine the correct authority<\/strong>
Check whether you need to contact the municipality or the Gaming Authority (depending on the value of the prize package).<\/p>

Step 3 \u2013 Complete the application form<\/strong>
Download the correct form from the website of the municipality or the Gaming Authority. Complete all sections fully and correctly.<\/p>

Step 4 \u2013 Submit the application on time<\/strong>
Municipalities often require you to submit the application at least 8 weeks before the draw. Take this into account in your planning.<\/p>

Step 5 \u2013 Assessment of the application<\/strong>
The municipality or the KSA assesses whether you meet the conditions. Important points are: the purpose of the lottery, the ratio between costs and revenues, and the transparency of the draw.<\/p>

Step 6 \u2013 Organizing the lottery<\/strong>
After approval, you can start selling tickets and organizing the draw. Strictly adhere to the permit and conditions.<\/p>

Step 7 \u2013 Accountability afterwards<\/strong>
Afterwards, you must provide financial accountability. Often within three months. You show how many tickets were sold, what the proceeds were, and how they were spent on the good cause.<\/p>

<\/h3>

Important points to consider<\/h3>

  • Public interest<\/strong>: at least a large part of the proceeds must go to the cause. Municipalities often use a percentage (for example, at least 40%). <\/p><\/li>

  • Costs and transparency<\/strong>: ensure that costs are proportionate and that the draw is fair and verifiable.<\/p><\/li>

  • Deadline<\/strong>: submit the application well in advance to avoid disappointments.<\/p><\/li>

  • Gambling tax<\/strong>: take into account any tax rules for prizes in money or in kind.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    <\/h3>

    Conclusion<\/h3>

    Organising a lottery is a great way to generate extra income for your association or foundation. Make sure you arrange the permit properly so that your action is fully in accordance with the law. <\/p>

    With the right preparation and timely application, your lottery can be a great success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
