The Gambling Commission of Great Britain has officially awarded the National Lottery license to Allwyn. The company will begin operations no later than February 2024.
The formal tender comes after the previous operator of three decades dropped a legal challenge to the fourth license issuance earlier. Camelot, joined by IGT delayed the transfer with a lawsuit over the £6.4bn contract.
In mid-July, Camelot and IGT were granted permission to appeal a ruling that upheld The UK Gambling Commission’s award of the license to Allwyn, leaving in place an automatic suspension of the license tender. The suspension was lifted after each of the appellants withdrew their appeals.
