If you need a lottery syndicate agreement you can use today, start here. Choose the simple form for a straightforward family, friends or workplace group, or use the detailed version if you need clearer rules for missed payments, changing members, ticket proof or unequal shares. Fill it in together before the relevant draw, then keep the signed copy with your payment and ticket records.
If everyone pays the same amount and your rules are simple, the short form will usually be the easiest choice. Pick the detailed form if your group has changing members, unequal shares, grace periods, backup organisers or more detailed ticket rules.
Choose this if your group is small and straightforward. It records who runs the syndicate, what you play, what everyone pays, the payment deadline, ticket holder, prize split and up to 10 members.
View simple formChoose this if you need more certainty. It adds a backup organiser, missed-payment rules, joining and leaving dates, ticket evidence, small-prize rules, unequal shares and a fuller member register.
View detailed formThese free agreements are designed for ordinary UK lottery syndicates. Use the same form whether your group plays one regular game or several different draws — just record the game or games your syndicate has agreed to enter.
Playing more than one game? That is fine too. The printable forms already include a “Lottery game(s)” or “Game(s) played” field, so your group can list more than one game and state which draws are covered by the agreement.
You do not need to turn a friendly syndicate into a complicated legal project. The useful part of a written agreement is simply that everyone can see the same rules before money is at stake. If somebody later remembers a payment deadline, prize share or leaving date differently, you have something dated to refer back to.

Use this one if your group just wants the essentials on paper. Fill it in together, check that every member understands the payment and prize-sharing rules, sign it before the relevant draw, then keep it with your ticket and payment records.

Need to add more members? Just turn the paper over and write their details on the back. It keeps everything together on one form and saves paper too.
By signing this agreement, each member confirms that they have read and understood the membership, payment, ticket-control and prize-sharing arrangements recorded above and intend those terms to govern their participation from the relevant start or first-eligible date.
Once the form is signed, do not file it away and forget the day-to-day evidence. Keep it with the records showing who paid, who was included and which tickets or digital entries were actually bought for each draw.
Not always. Informal arrangements can exist, but a written agreement is usually much easier to understand, administer and rely on if there is ever a disagreement about members, payments, tickets or winnings.
Yes. Both forms are completely free to print or save as a PDF. There is no account, email sign-up or payment required.
For most small family, friends or workplace syndicates, start with the simple form. Use the detailed agreement if the group has unequal shares, changing members or wants clearer rules for missed payments, ticket proof and eligibility.
Yes. The forms can be used for UK Lotto, EuroMillions, Thunderball and Set For Life syndicates, as well as groups that regularly play more than one game. Record the game or games covered by the agreement and, where useful, the regular draws your group intends to enter.
Yes. Choose the print button for the form, then select your browser or device’s “Save as PDF” option instead of a physical printer.
No. These are practical record templates based on public UK guidance. A disputed, high-value, unusual or commercially operated arrangement may justify independent legal or tax advice.
For a practical group record, having each member sign and date the version they are joining makes it much clearer which people accepted the terms. Keep the signed version rather than replacing it later with an undated copy.
Record the new member, their contribution or share and the first draw they are included in. If the change affects the agreement, update it clearly and keep the previous version rather than silently overwriting the old record.
Your form should say what the group has agreed before that situation happens. You might use a strict payment deadline, a defined grace period or another rule, but the important point is that the organiser should not invent the answer after the winning numbers are known.
Yes. The standing agreement explains the group’s rules, while draw-by-draw ticket or online-entry proof shows what was actually bought. Payment records and a member list complete the evidence trail.
