Ekiti State Lotteries and Gaming Law, 2023

This 2023 law establishes the Ekiti State Lottery and Gaming Board as a corporate body to regulate all forms of gaming, betting, lotteries, and casinos in the state. The Board issues licenses, enforces compliance, imposes penalties, and can suspend or revoke permits for violations. Operating without a license is prohibited, and the Board has powers to inspect premises and handle conflicts of interest among its members. The law also covers other lotteries (such as charity or promotional draws) and repeals any previous gaming laws in Ekiti State. Its goal is to bring all gambling activities under strict state control, ensuring legality, fairness, and accountability.
