We are Allwyn UK, part of the Allwyn Entertainment Group – a multi-national lottery operator with a market-leading presence across Europe which includes:
Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Cyprus & Italy.

While the main contribution of The National Lottery to society is through the funds to good causes, at Allwyn we put our purpose and values at the heart of everything we do. Join us as we embark on a once-in-a-lifetime, large scale transformation journey by creating a National Lottery that delivers more money to good causes.

We’ve developed ground-breaking technologies, built player protection frameworks, and have a proven track record of making lotteries better.

• Innovation - We pride ourselves on it! We’re constantly looking for new ways to excite our customers, bringing new products to enjoy which is all underpinned by our responsible play values and making them accessible to all.
• Giving back – Did you know that playing the lottery generates around £30m a week for charities and good causes in the UK? Our aim is to have doubled this number by the end of the first 10-year licence
• Sustainability – Our aim to be net zero by 2030 which would make us the first lottery provider globally to achieve this
• Inclusion and accessibility – We are making all parts of The National Lottery inclusive – whether you play a game in a store or online.

We want to create one of the UK’s most inclusive organisations – where people can bring the best of themselves, to do their best work, every day, for the benefit of good causes.
