Everything you need to know about the RNRM Sports Lottery. If you have a question that isn’t mentioned, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

The RN/RM Sports Lottery (RNSL) was set up in 1991 to generate non-public funds to support all levels of sport, adventure training and recreation in the Naval Service. This is achieved by enhancing existing public funds (money provided through the MOD) and by granting funds for approved activities and equipment that fall outside the scope of public funding.

The Sports Lottery has an income of approximately £1.6M per annum. A massive 98.3% of this is returned to RN/RM personnel through prizes, grants to ships, establishments, Adventurous Training, Overseas visits and Sports Associations. A more detailed breakdown is at “Where does the money go?”

Applications for grants from Sports Lottery funds should be submitted to the RNRM Sports grants and Lottery Manager at HMS Temeraire, using RNSL Form 1. The Guidelines and Criteria for applicants and information regarding Overseas Visits by Naval Service sports teams must be carefully followed.

If you have any complaint or concern regarding the operation of your Sports Lottery then you should contact the RNRMSL manager in the first instance. If you are then not satisfied with the outcome the matter will be referred to the Commanding Officer HMS TEMERAIRE who is independent of the management of RNRMSL.

The RNRMSL management recognises that for a very small minority of Naval Service personnel gambling in any form can lead to a range of problems for individuals and families.
