Allwyn is poised to assume the mantle of the UK National Lottery’s next custodian. They will formally take over from Camelot in February 2024, marking the start of a fresh chapter for this cherished establishment.
The handover was not without its obstacles. Camelot, the former operator, joined forces with their tech partner IGT to launch several legal battles in a bid to retain control. Nevertheless, they recently withdrew these challenges, clearing the path for Allwyn to take the helm.
Allwyn is brimming with innovative ideas. Their ambition is to revitalize the National Lottery, employing state-of-the-art technology to elevate the user experience while upholding responsible gaming practices. Central to their objective is a profound dedication to generating even greater resources for worthy initiatives throughout the country. This changing of hands holds the promise of an exhilarating phase for the UK National Lottery and those it supports.
A fresh chapter of potential is emerging for the National Lottery. At our energetic Watford base, revitalized strategies are already underway, brimming with drive and direction.
We aim to capitalize on this chance to shape the optimal future for the Lottery, guaranteeing its sustained expansion. Our core objective is to responsibly elevate its success, ultimately yielding even more substantial contributions to worthy initiatives. We eagerly anticipate welcoming our current Camelot teammates in Watford to accompany us on this exhilarating new path.
Andrew Rhodes, Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission, conveyed his perspective: “Amidst intense rivalry and subsequent to the court’s ruling to dissolve the suspension on the awarding procedure, we are delighted to officially grant the fourth license to Allwyn. We anticipate cooperating with all stakeholders to guarantee a smooth and productive handover.”
