Effective today, Monday, November 1, 2021, the National Lottery Authority (NLA) will begin the arrest of unlicensed lotto operators in the country.
The move comes after NLA has completed its licensing regime for private operators for the year 2021/22.
A statement from the state body said the NLA “wishes to announce the completion of the licensing regime of all operators of private lotto (OPL) for the 2021/2022 licensing year in accordance with the previously communicated deadline of Friday 29th October 2021”.
“Effective 1st November 2021, NLA in collaboration with the security services will undertake exercises to arrest and prosecute all unlicensed lotto operators,” the statement added.
The National Lottery Authority (NLA) in October completed the Pre-Qualification phase for licensing of all operators of private lotto (OPL).
It announced that licensing of OPLs for the 2021/2022 licensing year will commence on November 1, 2021.
According to the NLA, OPls who have successfully completed the Pre-Qualification phase are to visit the head office in Accra for Licensing Application Forms and Payment Terms before October 29, 2021.
