About Allwyn 

Allwyn’s goal is to rekindle the magic of The National Lottery: the excitement of playing, the joy of winning and the positive role it plays in bringing people together. 

Their vision is for The National Lottery to ‘change lives every day’ – not only for the players who win life-changing prizes, but also the millions who benefit from over £30m raised for Good Causes every week† by National Lottery retailers and players. 

How do I earn rewards through the Retailer Hub and how can I redeem them? 

The Retailer Hub is the home to the retailer incentive programme ‘Site, Stock, Sell Online’. Retailers can enter monthly bursts^, earning up to £50 a quarter. 

Step 1: Upload 4 photos of how TNL is promoted in store, such as the Scratchcard Dispenser 

Step 2: Earn £10 each month when scoring 8+ 

Step 3: Enter all 3 bursts (months) to earn a £20 bonus! 

Step 4: Every 8+ submission includes an entry to the quarterly £20k prize draw with a grand prize of £10k for one lucky retailer!** 

Step 5: Cash rewards earned on the Retailer Hub can then be redeemed to a bank account* of the retailer’s choice by clicking ‘Redeem Now’ to start the process** 

A full guide to the reward programme and its redemption process can be found in the news section of the Retailer Hub. Retailers can email support@TNLPartners.co.uk if they have any questions.

†Over £30 million raised weekly for Good Causes is an average based on figures from 1st January – 31st December 2023.
^Eligible retailers only. Ts&Cs apply. *Bank account holder must be the same as the user registered to the Retailer Hub. 
**Payments may be generated sooner, but typically they are made within 2-3 business days subject to standard banking checks. 

Who should I contact if I’m having any issues with my existing National Lottery equipment? 

If a retailer experiences any issues with their terminal or in-store Permanent Point of Sale (PPOS), it is important that they log this with Allwyn as soon as they can – so any issues can be resolved. Retailers can contact Allwyn via our FREE Retailer Hotline on 0800 8 40 50 60*. 

When am I expected to get my new PPOS and terminal? 

The total overhaul of the entire 43,500-strong National Lottery retail estate is currently underway. This large-scale transformation will equip National Lottery retailers with the latest innovative kit – which includes a modern, sustainable new suite of PPOS; new terminals; a new network provided by Vodafone; and enhanced terminal software.

We are working at pace to complete this transformation as soon as possible and will deliver these essential upgrades over the coming year.
