The Lagos State Gaming and Lotteries Authority (formerly known as Lagos State Lotteries Board) was established by the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority Law, 2021, to license and regulate gaming activities and other related matters in Lagos State. It is also empowered to license and regulate games of chance, including public online lottery, online sports betting, scratch cards, interactive gaming, casino, gaming machine, pools betting, virtual games, other lotteries and other games in Lagos State. Evidently, by the provision of the constitution and the enabling law, Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority remain the appropriate regulatory body for all lotteries and gaming activities in Lagos State. Hence this publication is to notify the good people of Lagos State and the general public that the above gaming companies are not licensed to conduct either retail or online gaming activities in Lagos State.

The Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority remain committed to regulating, promoting and protecting the Lagos gaming market to uphold the interest of all stakeholders involved. According to the notice cited by E-Play Africa signed by the Management, this is coming after the gaming board recently rebranded and enacted new laws for gaming.
