Lagos lotteries board disputes federal gaming authority and names unlicensed operators
The Lagos State Lotteries Board said gaming, lotteries and related matters in Lagos fall under state government authority, disputing the National Lottery Regulatory Commission’s position on federal oversight. The board listed 20 organisations, including bet365, as unlicensed to operate in Lagos and said it may enforce against unlicensed operators.
Operators named by the board face a stated risk of enforcement in Lagos.
