Lotto agents threaten national shutdown
Friday 12 March 2021
Members of the Electronic Lotto Agents Association protest in front the National Lotteries Control Board (NLCB) on Queen Street, Port of Spain in July last year.
Dean Persad, former vice-president of the Electronic Agents Association of TT, said Lotto agents will be writing to Finance Minister Colm Imbert to ask him to consider increasing the commissions paid to them.
He said a petition has been launched to get agents support for a proposed nationwide shutdown of their terminals if their concerns are not addressed. He said some 238 agents have already signed the petition.
