UK Gambling Commission reports £28.8m in National Lottery costs
The UK Gambling Commission reported £28.8 million in National Lottery-related costs for the year ending March 2025, compared with £14.4 million in the previous year. The accounts attributed £13.4 million to litigation, while Richard Desmond is suing over the award of the fourth licence to Allwyn and seeks £1.3 billion in damages.
The litigation expense and damages claim make the National Lottery licence dispute relevant to funds for good causes.
