Scoot retailers can now home deliver National Lottery scratchcards

National Lottery scratchcards will be available for rapid home delivery through Booker-owned delivery platform Scoot under a new partnership with Allwyn.

The collaboration will allow participating Scoot retailers to offer scratchcards alongside everyday purchases, with deliveries reaching customers in as little as 30 minutes.

Allwyn said the move would help retailers to generate additional revenue while giving players greater flexibility in how they purchase scratchcards.

Participating stores will receive guidance on signing up to and operating the service, including safe delivery processes for handling age-restricted sales. Retailers will also be required to complete relevant training through the National Lottery Retailer Training Centre to ensure compliance with responsible retailing standards.

The partnership follows Allwyn’s 2024 agreement with Snappy Shopper, which allowed National Lottery scratchcards to be sold online for home delivery.

Previously, only major supermarkets had been allowed to offer scratchcards for home delivery due to strict age-verification and responsible retailing requirements set by the Gambling Commission.

‘Will unlock additional revenue’

Alison Acquaye-Acford, retail revenue and customer director at Allwyn, said the partnership would unlock new revenue opportunities for retailers.

“Shopping habits are changing fast, and convenience is now a key consideration for our players,” she said. “Our collaboration with Scoot is a real win for players, who can now have their favourite scratchcard games delivered right to their door.”

Damian Sanderson, Booker’s head of home delivery, described the launch as a “significant step forward” for Scoot and its retail partners, while helping independent stores unlock additional sales. 

He added: “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.”
