Listed fund, J&T ARCH has acquired a 4.27% stake in Allwyn 

Stake values Allwyn at €11.2 billion 

Investment marks an important milestone, giving a broader range of investors the opportunity to be part of Allwyn’s rapid growth and underscoring confidence in its future prospects

 Lucerne, Switzerland August 28, 2025, KKCG has today announced that it has sold a 4.27% stake in leading multi-national lottery operator Allwyn International AG (“Allwyn”) to J&T ARCH INVESTMENTS SICAV, a.s.(“J&T ARCH”), a qualified investor fund listed on the Prague Stock Exchange.

The transaction, which values Allwyn’s share capital at €11.2 billion as of December 31, 2024, gives investors in J&T ARCH the opportunity to share in the continuing strong growth trajectory of Allwyn, the cornerstone of KKCG’s entertainment pillar. 

J&T ARCH is listed on the Prague Stock Exchange, with a net asset value of CZK 141 billion (approximately €5.6 billion) as of March 31, 2025.

The total proceeds to KKCG are €500 million (approximately CZK 12.3 billion CZK). The investment reflects the strength of Allwyn’s track record, its solid financial profile and continued confidence in its strategy and future development. Since 2011, the Group has grown into a multi-national lottery-led entertainment company with leading market positions across Europe and the Americas.  In 2024 Allwyn generated €1.5bn of Adjusted EBITDA. It also added leading e-instants supplier Instant Win Gaming to its portfolio and announced its intention to acquire a controlling interest in online sports betting and gaming operator, Novibet, further enhancing Allwyn’s innovation potential and advancing its ambition to deliver the best user experience across international markets.

Karel Komárek, Allwyn’s Chair and founder of KKCG, commented: “This is another significant step for Allwyn. It demonstrates the positive impact of KKCG’s vision and support for the business, and investor confidence in Allwyn’s successful growth-led strategy. I see many opportunities ahead for significant and sustainable value creation for Allwyn and I’m delighted that a wider range of investors can now join us on that journey.”

Robert Chvátal, Allwyn CEO said: “At Allwyn, we’re on a mission to become the leading global gaming entertainment company. We have demonstrated that our platform delivers, and there is real momentum behind our exciting future growth strategy.”

Patrik Tkáč, co-founder of the J&T financial group and Chairman of the J&T ARCH Investment Committee, adds: “J&T ARCH’s entry into Allwyn is the culmination of many years of business relations with Karel Komárek, who, with his team, has built an international entertainment platform out of a domestic player. This is another great story of a leading Czech entrepreneur’s business, and the opportunity for our investors to participate in its future growth.”

Adam Tomis, member of the J&T ARCH Investment Committee, adds: “Allwyn’s geographical footprint as the operator of national lotteries makes it unique. Our portfolio thus gains an investment in a sector characterized by strong market positions, resilience to economic cycles, and high conversion of profits into free cash flow. Allwyn is in an excellent position to continue expanding and growing.”
