International Game Technology (IGT) has withdrawn its legal challenge over the decision to award the fourth UK National Lottery licence to Allwyn.
The case dates back to July 2022 when the Court of Appeal granted IGT permission to challenge the selection. The Gambling Commission named Allwyn as the successful bidder for the National Lottery licence in March 2022.
In July 2023, the Court said IGT did not have legal standing for a claim for damages against the Commission. IGT appealed this ruling in September but this week asked the Court to dismiss the appeal. The tech giant will no longer pursue the damages claim.
