A man who deprived a charity of £285,000 as he ran a lottery on its behalf was jailed for three months. Rydings failed to pass on £285,000 of lottery proceeds to the charity whilst he was Chief Executive Officer of Capen Limited – a gambling operator with an external lottery manager license. In a case prosecuted by the Gambling Commission, Rydings admitted misusing lottery proceeds (under the 2005 Gambling Act) between 1 January 2018 and 31 March 2020.
