The On­line Gam­ing Agents As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go has re­quest­ed an ur­gent meet­ing with Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, ac­cus­ing the Na­tion­al Lot­ter­ies Con­trol Board of avoid­ing en­gage­ment while mil­lions of dol­lars in state rev­enue are lost each week.

In a pub­lic ap­peal, OGAATT said it has made more than a dozen doc­u­ment­ed at­tempts to meet with the NL­CB’s new board since Ju­ly 25, 2025, with­out suc­cess. The as­so­ci­a­tion said NL­CB is los­ing more than $2 mil­lion a week due to what it de­scribed as im­pru­dent man­age­ment.

OGAATT said a meet­ing sched­uled for No­vem­ber 10 was can­celled two days ear­li­er, with NL­CB cit­ing short no­tice. The as­so­ci­a­tion re­ject­ed the ex­pla­na­tion, say­ing it had al­ready con­firmed its avail­abil­i­ty be­cause of the ur­gency of the is­sues fac­ing agents.
