Funding for good causes through lottery sales will more than double in the next 10 years, the new National Lottery operator has promised.
Allwyn will run the National Lottery from February 2024 after being awarded the licence in April.
It replaces Camelot, which has run the National Lottery since it started in 1994.
Allwyn made the pledge after Camelot dropped a legal case that had prevented the Gambling Commission from transferring the licence between the two companies.
But Camelot is continuing its legal action against the Gambling Commission for awarding the licence to Allwyn.
In a statement, Allwyn said that growth in the sale of National Lottery tickets was “expected to result in the money allocated to UK good causes more than doubling”.
A spokesperson clarified that this referred to the full period of the licence, which runs from 2024 to 2034.
The company said the start of the new licence represented “a fresh start” for the lottery and its fundraising efforts.
David Craven, chief executive of Allwyn, said: “Our primary transition objective is to responsibly boost performance leading to increased contributions to good causes.”
He also stressed that some Camelot staff would work alongside Allwyn employees as they prepared to take over the licence.
Last year, £1.8bn from National Lottery sales was given to the National Lottery Distribution Fund, and from there to the National Lottery Community Fund and other funders.
