You will need this approval if you are an approved association or business and you intend to conduct a trade lottery with prizes valued at over $5,000. A trade lottery is a game of chance conducted for promotional purposes and can involve elements of chance and skill.
You do not need a permit for trade lotteries which have prizes to the value of $5,000 or less.
If you're an interstate business or association that has a lottery permit in another state or territory, you can also run the lottery in the NT without a local permit.
