Camelot : Employer profile

Company profile

Dynamic, pioneering and inspiring, Camelot transforms lives – of winners, the individuals and communities which benefit from lottery funding, and of its employees.

The Camelot model for running a lottery is now recognised as a world leader. We have built our reputation and developed our expertise over the past 16 years through putting players first.

We are focused on continuous innovation, we deliver complex projects, online and interactive systems, secure transaction processing, marketing and partnering – but the needs of consumers and providing them with the games they want and easy access to play wherever and whenever they like remains at the heart of what we do.

An organisation like no other, our core UK business is managing a high-profile national institution, with the overall aim of maximising returns to society in a responsible way.

Operated by Camelot, The National Lottery is one of the UK’s leading consumer brands – around 70% of UK adults play regularly, over 4 million people win prizes every week and annual sales are over £5 billion. In the last 16 years, The National Lottery has created over 2,600 millionaires and raised more than £26 billion for the Good Causes – that’s around £28 million each and every week.

The National Lottery is contributing £2.2 billion towards staging the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games – the largest sum from a single organisation and the biggest ever lottery-funded project to date, which will leave a lasting sporting legacy for the entire UK.

Camelot’s marketing skills are matched by its expertise in project management and technological knowhow. As part of its third Licence bid commitment, Camelot rolled out a network of new terminals, media screens and satellite dishes across its retailers – the largest, and fastest, lottery upgrade of its kind in the world, which took one million people hours and was completed within the agreed timescales.

In addition, Camelot leads the field of digital lottery innovation and e-commerce, managing the world’s most successful lottery website.

As a responsible operator, Camelot is also charged with a duty of care to its players and winners, and with maintaining public trust and confidence in The National Lottery. Camelot’s approach to corporate responsibility is now widely recognised as setting global standards. Consumer protection, stakeholder engagement, community investment, and managing our impact on the environment touch every aspect of the way we do business.

Camelot’s strategy for responsible play is to encourage many people to play lottery games but by spending relatively small amounts. The fact that the UK National Lottery is the seventh largest lottery in the world in terms of sales but ranked just 60th in the world in terms of per capita spend testifies to the effectiveness of this approach.

In addition, Camelot is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its operations and products, by using resources efficiently, cutting waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We believe it is vital for us to reduce our environmental footprint so the environmental benefits to society brought about by our operations are not compromised by the process of raising that money.
