Earlier this year, the Gambling Commission chose newcomer Alwyn over existing license holder Camelot for the final of four National Lottery licences. Camelot, who had been the primary operator for 30 years, challenged the decision by taking the matter to the High Court. As a result of these legal proceedings, the High Court placed an automatic suspension on the issuance of the licence.

In a statement on the matter, the Gambling Commission said:

“We will, therefore, begin the important work of formally awarding the licence to Allwyn. Our priority is to continue to work to implement our decision and ensure a seamless and timely transition to the next licence, for the benefit of participants and good causes.”
