Allwyn Formally Awarded Fourth National Lottery License by UK Gambling Commission

The UK Gambling Commission has announced that it has formally awarded the fourth National Lottery License to Allwyn Entertainment.

Earlier this year, the Court of Appeal granted both incumbent operator Camelot and new applicant IGT permission to appeal the Commission’s decision to award the fourth National Lottery license to Allwyn. This led to an automatic suspension of the pending license.

However, both Camelot and IGT have since withdrawn their appeals allowing the Commission to move forward with the formal awarding of the license.

In a statement on its website, the Commission said:

The announcement also notes that there are some key changes to the license:

Licensees to have more responsibility to fulfill obligations

Andrew Rhodes, Commission Chief Executive Officer, said:

“We are pleased to have officially awarded the fourth licence to Allwyn following a highly successful competition and the court’s decision to lift the suspension on the award process. We now look forward to working with all parties to ensure a smooth and efficient handover.
