Fair-weather Fortune

Background

Camelot is required to ensure that any material and its contents designed to encourage or enable a player to enter into or play a lottery game, including the player facing screens on any website, is accurate, does not mislead players and is compatible with the game rules and procedures for that game.

Condition

Condition 9(31) of the licence granted under Section 5 of the National Lottery etc. Act 1993 (as amended).

Description

On 18 October 2005, a system fault caused errors in the animation of a Fair-weather Fortune Interactive Instant Win Game, which had the potential to confuse the player about the way the game should be played, the prizes available to be won and whether they had won a prize.

Regulatory Action 

The Commission wrote to Camelot, considered its response and subsequently decided that there had been a contravention of the licence requirement on the basis that the animation was inaccurate, misleading and incompatible with the game procedures for the Fair-weather Fortune Interactive Instant Win game.  A licence breach was recorded on 17 July 2006.

Outcome

Camelot has corrected the fault that caused the animation error.  This was an isolated incident and no other players have reported a similar problem with this game.  We will continue to monitor the performance of Interactive Instant Win Games.
