Lottery Executive from Allwyn UK Contends: The National Lottery is Not a Form of Gambling
Under the new management of Allwyn UK, the National Lottery has undergone significant changes in its funds distribution, ensuring a more equitable relationship between profits and contributions to good causes.
The new breakdown of National Lottery funds under Allwyn UK is as follows: - 1p per £1 goes to the operator. - Approximately 8% covers costs for retailers and running the business. - 12% is taken by the Treasury. - 25p per £1 goes to good causes. - The exact percentage allocated to prize money remains undisclosed.
A notable departure from the previous operator, Camelot, the new structure ensures that any additional profit for Allwyn UK is directly linked to increased funding for good causes. This means that if the company's profits grow, so does the amount allocated to good causes.
The distribution model has been designed to ensure fairness and alignment between profit growth and contributions to good causes.
In terms of prize money, while the exact percentage allocated to prize money under Allwyn UK is not detailed, the emphasis on prize distribution is significant. Allwyn UK's efforts to increase National Lottery sales and engage more digital players could potentially lead to larger prize pools if the number of players increases.
Allwyn UK has also focused on digital innovations, such as a new digital payment solution for prizes, aiming to expedite prize payments. Additionally, initiatives like the "Local Retail Champions" campaign and partnerships with retailers like Aldi and Snappy Shopper aim to engage more communities and retailers.
The changes made by the regulator in the full license are appreciated by Allwyn's CEO, Andrew Vidler, who considers the new structure fair. These changes mark a shift towards a more transparent and equitable National Lottery, benefiting both good causes and players alike.
