The Mobile Lottery has launched a service to enable consumers to play a range of games on their mobile phones. Ten charities will receive 20p of each £1 spent on games.
The Mobile Lottery is the latest offering from Charles Cohen who founded the innovative online payment system Beenz, which was subsequently withdrawn. At first it will offer consumers three games.
The venture has been created in partnership with T-Mobile.

The beneficiary charities are “the Beneficiary Members of the Mobile Internet Society.”
There’s not much information on the Lottery’s Web site at present, which seems to be just a holding page, although there is a text number to contact.
