With over 70million sport Bettors in Nigeria, survey shows that 10% are underaged. The customary age for an individual in Nigeria is 18 but we would be wrong to hide the obvious fact that only 90% of registered sport Bettors are over the 18year old mark.
In this week's edition of Bet Review, we approach the Lagos State Lottery Board to speak on what sanctions have been put in place to checkmate this wrongful act.
Speaking with the P.R.O of the LSLB, Mr. Quadri made us realise that stiff sanctions have been put in place to check this.
"We have imposed huge penalty on anyone, Agent or company caught in this dreadful act. We immediately seal up their shops or outlets and seize their licence till full investigation is conducted"
"In a situation where they are guilty of doing business with a Minor, we confiscate their sport bet licence, because we are not only here to promote the business, we also Regulate and Sanction those who err from the laws of Lagos State."
