The Camelot Group is set to sign a six-month extension on its contract to operate the UK’s National Lottery as the tender process for the next licence has been delayed by three months due to challenges caused by Covid-19.

A Camelot spokesperson said that the operator has received notice in writing from the UK Gambling Commission to extend the licence to run the National Lottery.

“We remain focused on continuing to build on the strong performance we have achieved over the last three years and delivering even more money for good causes, funding which is vitally important during this unprecedented time,” the spokesperson said.

A UKGC spokesperson confirmed that the launch of the tender has now been officially delayed by three months, primarily due to challenges caused by Covid-19.

UKGC did not disclose exactly when the process would commence, but it did state that the Selection Questionnaire, which marks the first phase of the competition, would not be issued before August. Given that the last target was the first half of the year, this seems to suggest that the tender will launch in either late September or early October.

“Having considered the market’s feedback on challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have decided to delay the launch of the competition by three months. As a result, the Selection Questionnaire will not be issued before August and we will review the circumstances up until that point. During this period of high uncertainty, the extended timetable is designed to enable potential applicants to make adequate preparations for a fair, open and robust competition,” the UKGC spokesperson said.

The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) will hold its 42nd International Gaming Summit Monday, June 9 through Thursday, June 12, 2025 at The Ritz-Carlton Berlin. As a premier event that brings together leaders from all global gaming sectors, the Summit will provide operators, suppliers, attorneys, investors, bankers, regulators and other advisor delegates with an unparalleled opportunity to meet and discuss the most important issues facing gaming.

“We are looking forward to holding our 2025 Annual International Gaming Summit in Berlin, a historic city with a vibrant art and culinary scene. Our 2025 agenda addresses numerous issues of critical importance including the growing illegal market, the potential impact of AI across gaming operations, the progression of online casinos and navigating due diligence challenges in M&A transactions. Additionally, our agenda again includes a full-day focused on issues unique to sports betting operations, including a current look at the state of advertising restrictions, growing conflicts of interest, and a session focused on lessons learned from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the Euro Cup in Germany,” Jeff Barbin, IAGA President and a Partner with Phelps.

Barbin continued: “We are also pleased to announce that as part of the Summit, we will be launching a new initiative focused on building relationships between global gambling and betting regulators and major sports governing bodies. Our Sports and Wagering Integrity Coalition working group will focus on identifying collaborative ways that regulators and sport governing authorities can address growing threats to sports integrity and sports wagering and collaboratively identify ways to build stronger relationships to confront these threats. During the Coalition’s first closed-door workshop, experts from each stakeholder group will share unique challenges they face, highlighting ways that each side can better collaborate to protect game integrity and sport wagering and address the growing threats posed by the illegal gambling market. With major global events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Olympics and the 2031 Rugby World Cup coming to the United States, we believe it’s critical that both industries deepen their collaboration to address the growing challenges each side faces.”
