    Goals / Remit

    SAZKA Group (the “Group”) is one of Europe’s largest and fastest growing lottery companies. Our businesses operate lotteries in most of the European countries where lotteries are privately operated, including Austria, the Czech Republic, Greece and Cyprus and in Italy. We focus on the lottery segment, including numerical lotteries (draw based games) and instant lotteries (scratch cards), and also provide complementary products, including sports betting and digital only games. We sell our products through both extensive retail networks and digital platforms.
    We benefit from iconic and long-established brands, unrivalled POS networks and vast experience of operations. Our businesses have long-term and often exclusive licenses and concessions, allowing us leading and often exclusive positions in our markets.
    In November 2021, SAZKA Entertainment, the parent company of SAZKA Group, has rebranded to Allwyn Entertainment: more information @ https://www.allwynentertainment.com/

    Our group is committed to a transparent and constructive dialogue with EU stakeholders, namely officials of the EU Institutions (European Commission, European Parliament, Council of the European Union), members of the European Parliament, representatives at the European Economic and Social Committee and Committee of the Regions as well as business stakeholders and civil society.
    We participate in EC public consultations if they are relevant to our business.
    Furthermore, when necessary, we will directly address relevant EU Institutions representatives (via requests for meetings, phone calls or emails: for instance, this was the case in the recent discussions in the EP on the proposal for a Data Governance Act).
