    I remember the very first lottery draw, Anthea Turner was presenting on it, she must have been popular back then.

    She is probably really cheap to hire these days so you could get her to launch your first draw..lol
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    Only the obvious, that you need a license.

    I think you need a gaming licence - not sure where you get them from but I am sure if you google gaming licence then you would be able to find out.

    Funny i was thinking of opening my own bank. Must be easy. Just open a branch and stick a bit of advertising in the paper and away we go. :rolleyes:
