The National Lottery Regulator Statement of Strategy 2025-2027, which sets out the strategic plans for the Regulator’s office for the next three years, includes a pledge that “The Regulator will also work towards ensuring that, as more players move towards playing the National Lottery online, local retailers continue to be supported in their pivotal role in the National Lottery’s Future”. RGDATA was an active participant in the consultation process and welcomes this pledge.
