The National Lottery operator, Allwyn, has introduced a new measure to cap in-store Scratchcard purchases, limiting transactions to no more than 10 Scratchcards, from October 1st 2024.
This change follows a similar limit introduced for authorised online retailers earlier this year in February. The goal, to promote responsible gaming and safeguard players from excessive play, in line with Allwyn’s commitment to fostering a safe and trusted environment for National Lottery participants.
