\u00a0Sammy Awuku <\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku has\u00a0 revealed that the company loses about 40 per cent of \u00a0its revenue to illegal operators as\u00a0 several\u00a0 attempts were been\u00a0 made \u00a0to clamp down on them.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Ministry of Information\u2019s \u2018Meet the Press\u2019 series in Accra\u00a0 yesterday, he said\u00a0 the percentage constitutes a significant\u00a0 reduction\u00a0 from that of 2021 where the company lost about 65 per cent\u00a0 of its revenue to illegal operators.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs at 2021, we had about 65 per cent of our market in the hands of illegal operators but now it\u2019s just about 40 per cent. We keep working hard so that these numbers are reduced significantly, that is why we keep advising the public that if you play the game with an unlicensed company you are setting yourself up for a tragedy because if there is a big win they will close their doors and run and so we are encouraging you to go with the NLA or our accredited lotto operators\u201d.<\/p>\n
According to him, the World Lottery Association estimated that about $1.3 billion of revenue were lost through illegal lottery activities.<\/p>\n
That, he stated were among some of the key reasons why his outfit will continue to engage state security agencies\u00a0 particularly the BNI\u00a0 and the National Signal Bureau to arrest these illegal operators.<\/p>\n
He said in spite of the challenges facing his outfit the NLA, generated almost GH\u00a2 290 million locally as well as games royalties generated from some of the African countries .<\/p>\n
\u201cMy initial trips to Ivory Coast and Nigeria would now pay off as both countries will soon pay us royalties of GH\u00a2 18 million and GH\u00a213 million respectively, for drawing our Games online through KGL Group.<\/p>\n
