Supporting The Health Lottery

Industry: Charity, Lotto

Head Office: London, UK

Areas covered: Gambling Commission Auditing

Client Overview 

 The Health Lottery operates on behalf of The Health Lottery Foundation, raising money to support the health and welfare of people throughout Great Britain, including children and young people and those with mental or physical disabilities.  Since it launched in 2011, more than £137 million has been raised for good causes. 

The Requirement 

The Health Lottery must demonstrate ongoing compliance with Gambling Commission requirements to maintain its licence to operate.  This includes having robust information security policies, procedures and practices in place, embedding them effectively and retaining appropriate evidence for audit.  An annual independent security audit is also required to assess compliance against the security requirements of the Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards (RTS). 

Our Approach 

Teamwork IMS delivers an annual independent audit to assess compliance with the relevant Gambling Commission security requirements.  Our work includes: 

• Defining evidence requirements 
• Reviewing relevant documentation (e.g. security policies, procedures and records) 
• Interviewing key personnel 
• Producing a formal compliance report confirming adherence to applicable requirements 

We work collaboratively with the client to provide clarity, consistency and a smooth audit process. 

The Outcome 

The audit provides the Gambling Commission with the assurance it requires that The Health Lottery continues to meet its regulatory obligations and supports the continuity of its operations. 

Over time, as processes have matured and expectations have become clearer, the audit has become more efficient and streamlined for all parties. 

Our Impact  

We are proud to support The Health Lottery in demonstrating ongoing compliance, helping the organisation continue its important mission of funding health and wellbeing initiatives across Great Britain.
