The High Court has rejected in full the legal challenges brought by The New Lottery Company and Northern & Shell against the Gambling Commission over the award of the fourth National Lottery licence. The ruling clears the way for Allwyn, which won the competition, to continue as operator of the National Lottery.
The Gambling Commission said the judgment confirmed that it had run a fair and robust competition and that the changes it made during the process were not substantial. The regulator said the decision allows continued investment in the National Lottery and lets the operator keep generating returns for good causes.
