Last call for lottery retailers to switch to new owner

By David Harris in Industry News 5th December 2023

National Lottery retailers who have not registered with the new owners of the prize draw have been reminded they must do so in the next two weeks.

The new operator, Allwyn, said today that although 92% of retailers had completed the online transfer, the other 8% had yet to do so.

Retailers need to log on at TNLpartners.co.uk and follow the transfer of retail agreement (TRA) process.

Allwyn’s director of channel, Alex Green, said: “We’ve had an incredible response so far, with 92% of independent retailers signed up to continue selling the National Lottery under Allwyn from 1 February.

“We’re delighted with the co-operation we’ve seen from them in prioritising the transfer ahead of the deadline.”

All independent retailers should have been contacted telling them what they need to do to complete the TRA, including:

Registering their store and creating an account to start the process
Confirming their personal details (they’ll need the last three digits of the bank account used to pay their current National Lottery invoices, as well as proof of identity)
Reading and signing their TRA

Retailers can register through TNLpartners.co.uk or by scanning a QR code. This process can only be completed by the store owner.

Retailers will receive a welcome pack in the new year, which will tell them what they can expect from 1 February – including details of new and improved National Lottery games from March.

They will also receive information about online training ahead of the changeover.
