Macular Society Weekly Lottery — Affiliate Programme

About the Macular Society Weekly Lottery

The Macular Society is the UK's leading charity for people affected by macular disease — the most common cause of sight loss in the UK. Every week, our lottery gives players a real chance to win, with 100 guaranteed prizes drawn every Friday: a top prize of £1,000, five prizes of £25, and 94 runner-up prizes of £5. With every lottery line you have, you’ll automatically get one entry into the Macular Society Raffle Superdraw for a chance to win a massive the £10,000 jackpot twice a year.

At just £1 a week (or £2 to double your chances), it's an accessible, feel-good product that's easy for your audience to say yes to — and every entry directly funds vital research and support for people living with macular disease today.

Why partner with us?

Partnering with a charity lottery isn't just good for business — it's a partnership your audience will feel good about. The Macular Society combines a well-recognised, trusted brand with the emotional power of a genuine charitable cause, giving affiliates a compelling proposition that commercial lotteries simply can't match.

Here's what sets us apart:

• Guaranteed winners every week — 100 prizes drawn every Friday, giving players a far better chance of winning than most lotteries

• Low entry point, high recurring value — at just £1 a week, the barrier to entry is minimal, making conversion straightforward and retention strong

• A cause that resonates — macular disease affects over 1.5 million people in the UK, meaning many of your visitors will have a personal connection to the cause

• Trusted and regulated — the Macular Society is a registered charity and licensed by the Gambling Commission, giving your audience full confidence and peace of mind

• An agile, committed partner — we're not a faceless organisation. We are a responsive, forward-thinking charity that moves quickly, rewards affiliates who perform, and is committed to building long-term partnerships with the publishers we work with

• Budget backed by results — for affiliates who deliver, we allocate budgets to channels that work. We're looking for partners to grow with us, and we reward that loyalty
