Allwyn International has reported continuous growth across its core operations in the UK, generating €4bn in total revenue for FY25, up 2% year-over-year.
The National Lottery operator highlighted its digital channels as a key growth driver, with online gross gaming revenue (GGR) up 14% on an adjusted basis. Better performance was supplemented by higher engagement rates with online instant lotteries due to more favourable jackpot cycles.
UK net revenue for the year was up 6% to €962m compared to the €909m for the comparable period. Adjusted EBITDA dropped by €1m YoY to €34m, with Allwyn adding that the difference reflects the final month of preparations under the previous UK National Lottery licence. Allwyn took over the licence in February 2024.
Going into the complete set of full-year results across its markets in North America and Continental Europe, total revenue went up to €9bn compared to the previous year’s €8.7bn. GGR came in at €8.6bn, up from €8.3bn in 2024.
Full-year net revenue went up 4% YoY, coming in at €4.1bn (2024 €3.9bn). Adjusted EBITDA stood at €1.6bn, up 4% YoY when compared to €1.5bn in 2024.
In 2025, besides the UK Allwyn also had major commercial achievements across Greece and Cyprus, Italy, and the US.
Across the pond, the firm brokered a deal for the acquisition of a 62.3% controlling stake in daily fantasy sports platform PrizePicks – one of the major domestic players in that field. Results of that will start being reported from Q1 2026 onwards.
In Italy, the regulator granted a nine-year concession for the operation of the Italian Lotto to Lottoitalia, which is a consortium of Allwyn with a 32.5% stake and Brightstar with 61.5% of ownership.
Over in Greece, Allwyn’s domestic brand, OPAP, was given the exclusive 12-year concession to operate instant and passive lotteries. As a reminder, Allwyn will receive 78.5% of shares in OPAP under a new merger brokered last year.
Praising the results, Robert Chvatal, CEO of Allwyn, concluded: “2025 was a pivotal year for Allwyn. We continued to deliver on all dimensions of our strategy, driving good financial performance across our business, and agreed two transformative transactions – strengthening our positioning for sustainable long-term growth and an exciting future as a listed company.
“The significant steps taken this year further strengthen our platform, and position us well to deliver sustainable long- term value as a listed company.”
