KKCG has sold a slice of its ownership in Allwyn International, with the deal structured through its subsidiary Allwyn AG. The Allwyn stake sale gives J&T ARCH investors access to one of the most prominent names in the global lottery and gaming sector. At a €500m transaction value, the move underscores both investor demand and the company’s long-term growth story.

  • KKCG sold a 4.27% stake in Allwyn International to J&T ARCH, a Prague Stock Exchange-listed investment fund. The deal values Allwyn’s total equity at €11.2bn as of 31 December 2024. J&T ARCH has around €5.6bn in net assets.

  • The total cash proceeds for KKCG amount to €500m from the sale. Following the transaction, KKCG retains a 95.73% interest in Allwyn through its subsidiary. This marks the first time outside investors gain direct exposure to Allwyn’s equity.

  • Allwyn reported €1.5bn in adjusted EBITDA for 2024, highlighting its strong financial performance. The group expanded last year with the acquisition of Instant Win Gaming and announced plans to take control of Novibet. These moves broaden Allwyn’s footprint across lottery, sports betting and digital gaming.

  • Since its establishment in 2011, Allwyn has grown into a multi-national lottery-led entertainment group. It holds leading positions in markets across Europe and the Americas. The company continues to focus on innovation and user experience as key drivers of growth.

  • KKCG founder and Allwyn chair Karel Komarek said the stake sale demonstrates investor confidence: “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.”

  • Allwyn CEO Robert Chvátal said the company aims to become the leading global gaming entertainment operator. He noted the platform is delivering strong results and has momentum behind its strategy. This reflects Allwyn’s focus on long-term international expansion.

  • J&T ARCH chairman Patrik Tkáč said the fund’s entry follows a long-standing business relationship with KKCG. He described Allwyn as a domestic player transformed into a global entertainment platform. The deal offers J&T ARCH investors a stake in its future growth.
