The UKs freshest lottery contender, Allwyn, a subsidiary of the Sazka Group, has partnered with Vodafone in a bid to secure the next UK National Lottery operating permit. Allwyn posits that Vodafone’s proficiency in advanced connectivity solutions, notably in fields like the Internet of Things and 5G, will completely revamp the lottery experience for participants throughout the UK.
This collaboration underscores a dedication to heightened player safeguards by incorporating these sophisticated technologies and introducing novel elements that address the shifting requirements of their clientele.
The Chair of Allwyn’s bid, Sir Keith Mills, remarked, “As a member of the Sazka Group, Allwyn is dedicated to revitalizing lotteries and transforming them into a force for positive change. We accomplish this by infusing excitement into often overlooked lotteries while consistently prioritizing player well-being. This strategy ensures sustainable expansion and produces increased funds for worthy causes.”
He continued, “With a forward-thinking partner like Vodafone, the experienced leadership team of the Sazka Group, and a distinguished advisory panel featuring specialists like Justin King and Brent Hoberman, Allwyn is developing a compelling and reliable proposal for the future of the UK market.”
The UK Gambling Commission commenced the bidding procedure for the fourth National Lottery license in August 2020. The existing license, held by Camelot, is scheduled to terminate in 2023. The victor of this latest bid will secure the license for the subsequent ten years.
Vodafone UK’s director, Anne Sheehan, underscored their thirty-year dedication to providing superior network access throughout the United Kingdom. She emphasized their comprehensive knowledge of the advancements that propel remarkable, state-of-the-art encounters.
She conveyed assurance in their capacity to guarantee smooth and dependable shopping interactions – be it through applications, websites, or brick-and-mortar locations – for consumers nationwide. This conviction arises from their novel fusion of 4G, 5G, IoT, and landline technologies.
