LottoItalia is selected to operate the Italian Lotto licence for the next nine years

LUCERNE, Switzerland 19 May 2025 – Allwyn notes that the Judging Commission completed its analysis of the technical and economic offers in the bid process for the Italian Lotto Licence and is proposing the LottoItalia consortium, comprised of Allwyn, Arianna 2001, and Novomatic Italia together with IGT serving as the principal operating partner, to the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (“ADM”), which is expected to make the award notice within the next 35 days.

19 May 2025

Following the award, Allwyn plans to contribute a pro rata 32.5% share of both the €2,230 million licence fee and capital expenditure, investing to support the LottoItalia consortium for the next nine years, to November 2034. With respect to the licence fee, Allwyn expects that two instalments of €500 million and €300 million will be made by the LottoItalia consortium in 2025, with the balance in 2026.

The Italian Lotto and its associated games, 10eLotto and MillionDAY, are deeply rooted in tradition and are among the most popular and successful games in Italy, with annual ticket sales of over €8 billion, and about €15 billion paid in state contributions during the nine years of operation of the current concession.

Robert Chvatal, Allwyn CEO, commented:

"We’re thrilled to continue our strong partnership with IGT in Italy for another nine years. We’re pleased that Allwyn’s positive contribution to the consortium, including our proven track record of modernising and growing lotteries across Europe, will continue to support IGT’s exemplary stewardship of an important Italian national asset. We look forward to working together to grow the Italian Lotto, while developing innovative solutions to support responsible play.”
