BingoLotto Buddy Programme

Do you want to raise significant funds for your club?

Become a BingoLotto Buddy!

In Sweden, BingoLotto has raised more than £900 million that went directly to individual sports clubs to fund uniforms, swimming pools, hockey arenas, buses for transporting teams and much more. Now, it wants to do the same for sports clubs in the UK!

BingoLotto is a live one-hour TV Game, hosted by Joe Pasquale and Suzanne Shaw.  Its unique format allows people who have purchased a BingoLotto Gamecard to watch and play a mix of bingo and lottery games live from their living rooms.  There are up to 100,000 prizes up for grabs every week (including cars, holidays, wide-screen TVs, cash jackpots and much, much more) and with 1 in 10 Gamecards a winner – the odds of winning are good!

BingoLotto will be returning to our screens early next year with a large, national grocery chain on board to ensure buying BingoLotto Gamecards will be much easier for the public for Series 2.

Beneficiaries of BingoLotto

Sports clubs that are BingoLotto Beneficiaries benefit not just from the proceeds of all ticket sales across the nation, but they can also generate additional money (as much as 40 pence per ticket) directly for their own needs by members and clubs joining the BingoLotto Buddy Programme.

By becoming a BingoLotto Buddy, you and your fellow members, will be able to sell BingoLotto Gamecards direct to friends, family and the general public every week of the year from Saturday morning to 12noon on a Friday afternoon* - and keep 20% of the money raised direct for your club or organisation!

The BingoLotto Buddy Programme is a unique way of empowering BingoLotto’s UK beneficiaries to raise substantial funds at club level (in Sweden £900 million was raised at a club level).  Individual fundraising / ‘appeal’ campaigns (eg; “Buy a BingoLotto ticket from our sports club and help us raise money for a new team van”) can be developed so that each club has a target for the funds they are raising.  Wherever possible, BingoLotto will assist in local press promotion and marketing of these campaigns. 

Do you think your club would benefit from this new and unique way of raising funds for your clubs every week?

The BingoLotto Buddy Programme

BingoLotto has developed a programme which allows members of an organisation or association within CCPR to sell BingoLotto Gamecards direct to friends, fellow members, work colleagues, family and the general public.  This programme is called the BingoLotto Buddy Programme.

BingoLotto and CCPR have agreed that 20% of the proceeds of any Gamecards sold through the BingoLotto Buddy Programme (£0.40 per ticket), can go direct to the Association or Club that has sold the Gamecards.  This money can be kept by the club so there is no waiting around for the funds to be distributed to you.

This system will enable Associations and Clubs to create a specific and targeted fundraising campaign in order to raise more money for its club / association.  i.e. clubs set their own financial targets such as the purchase price for a new van, boat or equipment and work out how many Gamecards they will need to sell to achieve that target over several weeks. 

The BingoLotto Buddy Programme will motivate members and clubs to work as a team to raise funds for their cause.

To raise awareness for your individual fundraising campaigns or appeals, BingoLotto will, where possible assist with local PR and marketing to kick start the campaign and add legitimacy to the Buddy Programme so that members of the community are aware of what they are doing. We will also run attractive competitions incentivising clubs to sell that could also win them up to £10,000.

What will you need to do?

BingoLotto Buddies, once signed up to the programme, will decide how many Gamecards they wish to receive every week from the start of Series 2 in early 2009.

These weekly Gamecards can then be sold (£2 each) from 6am Saturday morning to Friday noon each week*.

All UNSOLD Gamecards must be reported back to BingoLotto by Friday noon*. 

All money received (less the 20% commission) from the sale of the Gamecards must be banked with BingoLotto the following week.

That’s it!

We want to make the BingoLotto Buddy Programme work for you, to maximise your fundraising potential and minimise the effort involved.  This concept is a proven success in Sweden, where BingoLotto ticket sales generated £900 million for Swedish sports clubs, and we want to help you make it a success in the UK!  If you have any queries, please get in touch.   We will work with you to ensure you are fully equipped to make a success of the BingoLotto Buddy Programme in your area.
