Camelot is the national lottery operator in the United Kingdom. Traditional draw games have been offered for many years via the operator. As technology improved, app-based games were provided. MPs say the app options are too much and are causing more problem gambling in UK.
Conservative and Labour MPs call for ministers to take action against Camelot. Camelots saw growth in 2020 and 2021, with two-thirds of the sales coming from instant win games. Mobile sales increased to £2.482bn in 2021.
MPs want Camelot to make changes regarding app based games. 9% of revenues from instant win games go to community needs, whereas 31% goes to causes. The number of traditional draw game sales drop, so does the majority percent of assistance to programs. Camelots says app-based games have been around since 2015 and participation has grown considerably due to the pandemic.
