Territorial Extent Schedule 10: Family Entertainment Centre gaming machine permits Part 11: Lotteries Section 265: Territorial Application
643.This section sets out the territorial area over which Part 11 is to apply. It provides that Part 11 applies to anything done in relation to a lottery in Great Britain, or by means of remote gambling equipment in Great Britain. So, if a lottery is provided electronically, and the servers are located in Great Britain, that may be a lottery that falls to be regulated under this Part.
644.However, the territorial application of Part 11 is limited by this section, so that Part 11 does not regulate any lottery where:
	the only people who become participants in it are outside Great Britain; and
	where there is no-one in Great Britain who possesses tickets with the intention of selling or supplying them to other individuals in Great Britain.
645.The effect of this is that as soon as a person in Britain becomes a participant in a lottery, or a person possesses tickets with a view to their sale in Great Britain, the lottery will be regulated by Part 11.
646.This section also provides a defence where a person reasonably believed that no person in Great Britain would become a participant in the lottery; or that there was no intention to sell tickets to people in Great Britain. Without this defence, innocent printers and distributors could be guilty of promoting or facilitating a lottery, even where they had honestly believed that the tickets they were printing or distributing would only be sold abroad.
