The partnership aims to make games more accessible while supporting retailers with new revenue opportunities

Allwyn has joined forces with rapid delivery platform Scoot allowing shoppers to add scratchcards to their online orders.

The National Lottery operator said the partnership aimed to make games more accessible while supporting retailers with new revenue opportunities.

Retailers will be supported with guidance on how to sign up and operate the service, including safe delivery processes for age-restricted products.

Participating stores will also be required to complete training modules to ensure compliance with responsible play standards.

Scoot is a delivery platform that Booker launched last year. It is exclusive to Booker’s symbol retailers that operate with the Premier, Budgens, Londis and Family Shopper fascias.

Allwyn’s new tie-up with Scoot follows the expansion of its partnership with Snappy Shopper last year, which enabled it to offer scratchcards online from 172 retailers.

“Shopping habits are changing fast, and convenience is now a key consideration for our players,” said Allwyn retail revenue and customer director Alison Acquaye-Acford. 

”Our collaboration with Scoot is a real win for players who can now have their favourite scratchcard games delivered right to their door.

“Retailers are a cornerstone of The National Lottery, and by partnering with Scoot we are unlocking additional revenue streams for Scoot retailers. Ultimately, this helps us reach more people and continue raising millions every week for National Lottery-funded projects.”

Booker head of home delivery Damian Sanderson said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Allwyn to bring National Lottery Scratchcards to the Scoot platform. This is a significant step forward for Scoot and for our retailers, giving customers even more convenience while helping independent stores unlock additional sales opportunities through rapid delivery.

“At Booker, we’re focused on helping retailers evolve alongside changing shopper habits, and this partnership reflects the growing demand for fast, flexible access to everyday essentials and services. We’re proud to be working with Allwyn on such an exciting launch and look forward to seeing the partnership grow.”
