Allwyn UK New CEO Adria Vidler Takes the Reins
Allwyn UK’s senior leadership team for the UK National Lottery transition has been finalised as Andria Vidler begins her tenure as company CEO.
Vidler’s appointment in the chief leadership position of the pan-European lottery operator’s UK-facing brand was first confirmed in July, and since then the firm has unveiled the full composition of its C-level management.
The new CEO will join the likes of Chief Financial Officer, Alan Artz; Chief Operating Officer, Chris Lyman; Chief Commercial Officer, Lucy Buckley; and Chief Assurance and Participant Protection Officer, Gaby Heppner-Logan.
Vidler remarked: “I am extremely excited to finally start my role at Allwyn! My ambition is to ensure that The National Lottery is in the best shape possible for the future.
“This means, a National Lottery that is played across the nation, that will grow returns to Good Causes, and that provides better games, enjoyed by people responsibly and safely.
I can’t wait to get to work alongside partners and colleagues from across our Allwyn and Camelot teams to make this vision a reality.”
Allwyn hopes to leverage Vidler’s experience in “a range of high-profile UK media businesses”. Prior to being named Allwyn UK CEO in July, Vidler was EMEA CEO of marketing group Tag WorldWide.
She has also been CEO of EMI in the UK and Ireland and of Centaur Media, and has held senior roles at Capital Radio, Bauer Media and the BBC.
As CEO of the group’s UK operation, Vidler’s chief responsibility has been detailed as increasing Good Causes funds over the 10 year licence period – good causes having been a major talking point during the contest for the fourth licence.
As mentioned above, Allwyn UK is readying itself to take the reins of the UK’s National Lottery after being named the next licence holder by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) last year.

David Murray Head of Risk and Trading at AK Bets
AK Bets trading chief says VAR forces more in-play market suspensions
David Murray tells OLBG video reviews have cut live betting uptime and increased split-second risk decisions for traders.
VAR is reshaping how football is traded in-play, according to David Murray, Head of Risk & Trading at AK Bets, who says video reviews have increased uncertainty and reduced the time live betting markets can stay open.
Speaking to OLBG, Murray said traders now have to suspend markets more often because potential penalties, red cards and offsides can quickly swing outcomes. “Years ago you would only suspend betting for a handful of major incidents,” he said. “Now there are so many situations where something might happen that you’re constantly making judgement calls.”
Murray added that VAR has changed the experience of watching matches for both fans and trading teams. “It’s completely ruined the enjoyment of watching football,” he said. “We’re exactly the same as everybody else. Whether you’ve had a bet yourself or you’re trading the game, you’re afraid to celebrate a goal because you’re immediately wondering whether there’s going to be a VAR check.”
He said the operational impact is stark compared with a decade ago. “If you compare now with 10 years ago, it’s night and day,” Murray said. “The amount of time even the biggest football matches are actually available to bet on has changed because there are simply far more incidents that require markets to be suspended.”
Murray also pointed to scheduled stoppages at this summer’s World Cup, saying hydration breaks can create additional betting moments rather than interrupting activity. “It almost becomes like a mini half-time,” he said. “Customers have a few minutes to think about what they’ve watched, look at the updated prices and decide whether they want to get involved.”

N1 Sport Promo: Earn More with Sports Traffic
With less than two weeks remaining until N1 Sport Promo by N1 Partners comes to an end, the biggest sporting events of July are still ahead: the decisive matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026, the Wimbledon Final, the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix, and the closing stages of the Tour de France.
During this period, every additional FTD not only increases your overall payout but also boosts your CPA rate.
- SEO & PPC — +€50 CPA for every 10 FTDs, with no cap on CPA increases.
- Facebook, In-App, UAC, ASO, Email & SMS — +€10 CPA for every 30 FTDs, up to +€100 above your base CPA.
The full promotion terms are available via the link below.
The N1 Partners affiliate team has shared practical recommendations to help affiliates make the most of the final stage of the promotion.
Strengthen Campaigns That Already Deliver Results
The final weeks of N1 Sport Promo are the best time to increase the volume of successful campaigns and take full advantage of the promotion’s progressive CPA mechanics.
Focus on traffic sources and creatives that are already delivering consistent results. Their growth can be supported by expanding into additional GEOs, regularly refreshing creatives, keeping offers up to date, and reacting quickly to major sporting events.
Even a moderate increase in high-quality traffic can significantly improve your final payout: the more FTDs you generate before the promotion ends, the higher your CPA rate becomes.
Speed Is a Competitive Advantage
The strongest results typically come from campaigns launched ahead of key matches and kept relevant throughout the tournament. Preparing campaigns before kickoff and responding quickly to shifts in audience interest helps affiliates capitalize on peaks in sports traffic and generate more high-quality FTDs.
Mobile users deserve particular attention during this period, as a significant share of the audience engages with sports content while matches are taking place.
Player Activity Peaks in the Final Hours Before Kickoff
During major sporting events, many users register just a few hours before a match begins. That’s why timely creative updates and a strong focus on the tournament’s most anticipated fixtures are essential for maintaining campaign performance.
Key Sporting Events Before the Promo Ends
The sports calendar remains packed over the coming weeks:
- July 9 — France vs Morocco (FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter-final);
- July 10 — Spain vs Belgium (FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter-final);
- July 11 — Norway vs England (FIFA World Cup 2026 Quarter-final);
- July 14–15 — FIFA World Cup 2026 Semi-finals;
- July 19 — FIFA World Cup 2026 Final;
- July 12 — Wimbledon Final;
- July 19 — Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix;
- Through July 26 — Closing stages of the Tour de France.
Each of these events traditionally drives spikes in search demand, social media engagement, and player interest. As a rule, the best-performing campaigns are those that are already delivering results. The final weeks of the promotion are the ideal time to strengthen them through continuous, data-driven optimization.
Looking for even more scaling opportunities? The N1 Partners team has also prepared a comprehensive July guide featuring the month’s biggest sporting events and practical recommendations to help affiliates plan campaigns more effectively and drive additional Tier-1 traffic.
