The statement added the only licensed online lotto marketing company responsible for the operation of *959# on behalf of NLA is KGL Technology Limited.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the live draw on GTV and shortcode operated by Alpha Lotto limited is illegal and in total breach of the laws governing the lottery industry.
“The Authority shall take steps to address the illegality but we will use the opportunity to caution and instruct Alpha Lotto Limited and GTV to stop the live draw of its illegal shortcode for 5/90 with immediate effect,” the NLA noted.
