As the licensed operator of the UK National Lottery, Camelot’s prime business objective is to maximise returns to the Good Causes in the most efficient and socially responsible way.
While Camelot is committed to raising money for the Good Causes designated by Parliament through the sale of National Lottery games, it is not responsible for distributing or awarding these funds.
Camelot manages the National Lottery infrastructure, designs new games, develops the marketing support for lottery products, provides services for players and winners, and runs the network that sells tickets to players in partnership with 26,000 retailers UK-wide.

In May 1994 Camelot was awarded a seven-year licence to run The National Lottery and on 14 November 1994, the first draw-based tickets went on sale. Over the seven years of the first licence Camelot raised £10.6 billion for the Good Causes, £1.6 billion more than originally promised.
In December 2000, Camelot was awarded the second seven-year licence to run The National Lottery, which commenced on 27 January 2002.
