Camelot CEO, Nigel Railton, has issued legal proceedings against the Gambling Commission in relation to its competition process for the selection of the fourth National Lottery license. In their capacity as applicant for the position, Camelot launched a High Court challenge over the appointment of Allwyn. Camelot is 'shocked by aspects of the decision' and believes the Commission 'got [it] badly wrong'. In response, the Commission said it 'regrets' Camelot's decision and expects the High Court to find that it ran a 'fair and robust' process.
