The pres­i­dent of the On­line Gam­ing Agents As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (OGAATT), Dean Per­sad, is rais­ing se­ri­ous con­cerns over what he de­scribes as years of fi­nan­cial mis­man­age­ment with­in the coun­try’s on­line gam­ing sec­tor.

He has ac­cused the for­mer board of the Na­tion­al Lot­ter­ies Con­trol Board (NL­CB) of un­fair­ly pe­nal­is­ing agents and ar­bi­trar­i­ly shut­ting down gam­ing ter­mi­nals, a move he said is cost­ing the State ap­prox­i­mate­ly $900,000 in lost rev­enue every week.

Now, the as­so­ci­a­tion is seek­ing the at­ten­tion of the new­ly ap­point­ed board.
