Camelot Illinois Rebrands as Allwyn North America
Allwyn, a leading multi-national lottery operator, announced that Camelot Illinois has been rebranded as Allwyn North America. The rebranding of Camelot Illinois forms part of the continued integration of the Camelot Lotteries Solutions group of companies – which includes Camelot Illinois – into the Allwyn family, following the acquisition earlier this year. As part of this, Camelot Lotteries Solutions has been rebranded as Allwyn Lotteries Solutions.
Allwyn has a strong industry presence in Europe, and a growing presence in North America, with ambitions to further invest in the North American market. This rebrand will support Allwyn achieving greater brand recognition in North America for its focus on value to customers and communities.
No changes have been made to the Allwyn North American management team, its business focus, products or services since the acquisition by Allwyn.
Robert Chvátal, CEO of Allwyn Group, said: “North America is an important market for Allwyn, where we see strong potential for future growth. Our entry into the North America builds upon Allwyn’s strong track record of successfully operating lotteries across Europe, delivering value to our customers, focusing on player protection and growing lottery returns to communities. Camelot Illinois and Allwyn share the same passion for generating more for good causes, and today marks an exciting step in our continued journey to achieve this under the Allwyn brand.”
Wayne Pickup, Allwyn North America Chief Executive, said: “We remain committed to serving our customers, engaging players and growing lottery revenue to benefit the communities they serve. Leveraging the global resources, expertise and talent across the Allwyn group will serve to strengthen the results we help the State of Illinois and all our customers achieve.”

Allwyn–Gopuff Collaboration Brings The National Lottery Straight to Your Door
Allwyn’s Retail Revenue & Customer Director, Alison Acquaye-Acford, said: “We’re always looking at ways to respond to the ever-evolving retail environment and the changing ways people are buying grocery products – with ease and convenience being key factors. And through this new partnership with Gopuff, we’re doing just that.
“We’re making it even easier for existing National Lottery players to get the games they want to play quickly and safely. But we’re also looking to make the most of Gopuff’s presence in cities, reaching new customers who are already shopping through the platform. All of this is helping us continue to build on the £32m raised, on average, every week for Good Causes – which is what The National Lottery is all about.”
“At Gopuff, we’re constantly focused on improving the customer experience and bringing our consumers more of what they love in minutes,” added Alberto Menolascina, SVP of UK and New Business at Gopuff. “This new partnership with Allwyn enables us to do just that. Since launching the pilot program last month, our customers have shown an immediate interest in this new offering. This is instant commerce in action, giving customers what they want, when they want it, safely and conveniently.”

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has installed more than 22,000 Wave terminals across UK retail locations.
This marks the halfway point in Allwyn’s scale rollout of the new machines, which Allwyn said will modernise and improve The National Lottery in-store experience for retailers and players alike.
Shop owners and staff are said to be responding enthusiastically to the new terminals – which are replacing legacy machines dating back to 2009 – with the new technology making an immediate difference to their businesses and customers.
The new machines offer retailers a significant upgrade to the previous technology, including:
• A high-speed processor for faster transactions
• A larger, tilt-adjustable LCD screen
• Wireless 1D barcode and 2D code scanners
• A versatile play slip reader that can be fed both horizontally and vertically
• Enhanced functionality, including improved reporting and the ability to update National Lottery Fast Pay cards.
Allwyn’s director of operations, Jenny Blogg, said: “Our wide-ranging transformation of The National Lottery continues at pace, with thousands of Wave terminals being installed every week.
“We’ve now invested more than £400m upgrading The National Lottery’s outdated operations and technology.
“Not only is this generating a hugely positive response from our retail partners, but it stands us in good stead to deliver on the exciting plans we have for new games, a better player experience, and a commitment to double returns to Good Causes from £30m to £60m every week by the end of our 10-year licence.”
Allwyn said the rollout is part of its broader strategy to overhaul The National Lottery to ensure it delivers even more for its millions of players, tens of thousands of retail partners and hundreds of Good Cause projects in every postcode district right across the UK.

Allwyn and Formula 1® celebrate power of community by launching F1® Allwyn Global Community Award
- Brand-new F1® Allwyn Global Community Award will recognise and spotlight community-focused initiatives from across the world of Formula 1, with first winner to be presented at the Formula 1® Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2025.
- Allwyn to donate €100,000 to each winning initiative at four races this season.
LUCERNE, Switzerland, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allwyn, the multi-national lottery-led entertainment company, and Formula 1 have today announced the launch of the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award. For the first time ever, community-focused initiatives across the world of Formula 1 will be spotlighted and celebrated on a global stage to showcase their positive impact on society. As well as global recognition, winning initiatives will each receive a €100,000 donation from Allwyn to further transform communities around the world.
Winners must demonstrate a meaningful contribution to society away from the racetrack, which could include advancements in education, culture, wellbeing or sustainability. For each race, the local promoter will identify Formula 1-linked community initiatives such as those run by teams, partners and media, which have had an impact in their country. A panel of three judges from Allwyn, Formula 1 and a local representative will agree the winner, who, in addition to the donation, will receive a trophy and a chance to visit a Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The creation of the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award is part of the multi-year partnership between Formula 1 and Allwyn, reflecting a shared commitment to driving positive change and giving back to the communities in which they operate. The first recipient will be presented with the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award ahead of the Formula 1® Heineken Dutch Grand Prix on 31 August. Three additional winners will be chosen later this season, recognising local initiatives at the home of Formula 1 races in the US (Austin and Las Vegas) and Mexico.
Allwyn’s ambition is to extend the Award to cover more races in the 2026 season and further celebrate projects which make a meaningful difference.
Robert Chvátal, Group CEO of Allwyn said: “Championing positive community impact is at the heart of what we do at Allwyn. Our partnership with Formula 1 is the perfect chance to demonstrate our commitment to communities through the creation of this inspiring F1® Allwyn Global Community Award, supporting the very best community initiatives around the world and bringing them to a huge global audience.”
Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1 said: “It is a pillar of our sport to leave a positive legacy where we race and for many years, we’ve worked with the promoters and regional organisations to do just that, from inviting children from local schools to the track to encourage them to consider a role in motorsport, through to funding education initiatives and welcoming local community outlets and charities to be part of the event. Every year 24 incredible venues open their doors to host us, and we are met with fantastic passion and love at the track and throughout the entire city, so I am very proud to launch the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award as part of our mission. We will give the local initiatives that go the extra mile for making their communities and make the world a better place the recognition and global platform they deserve.”
The F1® Allwyn Global Community Award will be presented at the following Grands Prix in 2025:
- Formula 1® Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2025 – 29 – 31 August 2025
- Formula 1® MSC Cruises USA Grand Prix 2025 – 17- 19 October 2025
- Formula 1® Gran Premio De La Cuidad De Mexico 2025 – 24 – 26 October 2025
- Formula 1® Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025 – 20 – 22 November 2025
