National Lottery: Camelot drops legal challenge over licence loss

Outgoing National Lottery operator Camelot has dropped a legal challenge which was preventing the handover of the lottery licence to rival Allwyn. Allwyn has ended its counter-claim against Camelot for damages due to delaying the £6.4bn contract. Camelot, which ran the lottery since 1994, is still taking legal action against the Gambling Commission for giving the licence to Allwyn. After losing out on the next licence which starts in February 2024, Camelot launched a legal challenge in April, claiming that the Gambling Commission had got the decision "Badly wrong". Camelot is still pressing ahead with its main legal claim challenging the decision to award the lottery licence to Allwyn.
