Allwyn Launches “Paris 2024” Campaign

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has launched its summer-long “Paris 2024” campaign – which celebrates the unique and authentic role that The National Lottery plays in the journeys of Team GB and ParalympicsGB athletes to the 2024 Games, and the players who helped them get there simply by buying a ticket.

The unmissable campaign – which includes a range of TV and radio ads, as well as POS assets in Allwyn’s 40,000 retail partners – celebrates the positive impact of Good Causes funding on the nation, raised by National Lottery players. In this case, by providing vital funding for Team GB and ParalympicsGB athletes to allow them train full time, have access to the world’s best coaches and benefit from pioneering technology, science and medical support.

Paris 2024 fever has already started sweeping through National Lottery retailers with the special edition Team GB and ParalympicsGB £1 Scratchcard launching last month.

More in the way of activity to celebrate Paris 2024 will see three massive special event draws heading to the starting blocks in August and September, helping to get players racing into stores to buy their tickets.

First up, a special £15 million Lotto “Must Be Won” draw will be under starter’s orders on Saturday 3 August and could provide as much as a 53% boost in sales for the draw. A huge EuroMillions 10 UK Millionaires draw then takes its starting position on Friday 16 August and – with 10 UK ticket-holders guaranteed to win £1 million each – could provide an uplift in retail sales by as much as 43%. And closing off the spectacular Paris Games will be another mega £15 million Lotto “Must Be Won” draw on Saturday 7 September, which will again offer up to a 53% sales boost. Special POS to support all three draws will be landing at retailers in the weeks before they take place, ready to be sited to support sales.

To further celebrate National Lottery player and retailer support for athletes at Paris 2024, Allwyn will also be staging two iconic Homecoming events – The National Lottery’s Team GB Homecoming on 17 August in Manchester and The National Lottery’s ParalympicsGB Homecoming on 12 September in Birmingham. In addition to the two ballots which National Lottery players can enter to win free tickets to the star-studded events, National Lottery retailers will also have the chance to win tickets through a special Retailer Hub online competition – more details of which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Allwyn’s Director of Retail, Alex Green, said: “We’re excited to be launching this unmissable Paris 2024 campaign that champions National Lottery player support for Team GB and ParalympicsGB at the Paris 2024 Games. Their support continues to be absolutely vital to the success of our athletes, and so it made perfect sense to centre the campaign on National Lottery players to celebrate and thank them for the impact they’ve made.

“We’ve also got lots happening in retail to create a real in-store buzz around the Games – with special event draws, Scratchcards and eye-catching POS. Then to really take the celebrations up a notch, we’ll be hosting two huge National Lottery Homecoming events which players and retailers will have the chance to get free tickets to. As well as celebrating the Games, this incredible Paris 2024 activity will help shopkeepers boost their National Lottery sales and sales commission, all while helping to raise even more money for National Lottery-funded projects.”

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.

In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”

So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.

The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters

Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.

Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.

It’s simple:

  • Informed players make better choices.
  • Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
  • Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.

Meet the MegaList Brands

These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.

MegaCasinoList


Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.

That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.

They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.

MegaTipsList

If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.

MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.

Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.

MegaBetList

For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.

MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.

From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.

Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)

The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.

That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.

And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:

“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”

For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.

So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”

 MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.
