Executive Chairman of the KGL Group, Mr. Alex Apau Dadey
KGL Technology Limited paid GH¢173.36 million to the National Lottery Authority (NLA) in 2025, significantly outperforming all other licensed private lotto operators combined, according to industry data cited in a Business and Financial Times (B&FT) report.
The report indicates that 29 other licensed collaborators and private lotto operators collectively remitted GH¢44.9 million to the NLA over the same period.
This means KGL alone accounted for about 79.4 percent of total payments made by all private operators to the Authority in 2025.
Wide Revenue Gap Among Operators
Data referenced in the report shows a sharp disparity in contributions among licensed operators, with the next highest contributors far behind KGL’s payment levels.
Luma Facilities Trading Limited recorded GH¢4.14 million, followed by Afrilotto Systems Limited with GH¢3.56 million. Game Park Limited and Zeta Technologies Limited each paid GH¢2.63 million.
Other operators, including Onassis Sports Limited, Fortune Synergy, Alpha Lotto Limited and Rand Lottery Limited, also made payments ranging between GH¢1 million and GH¢2.4 million.
At the lower end, companies such as Zinbax Construction Limited, Super 4 Intelic Limited and Makafui Mogyi Limited each paid GH¢200,000.
No Payments
The report further notes that three licensed operators—SB Business Ventures, Best Chance Lottery Company and Diblo Lottery—did not make any payments to the NLA during the 2025 financial year.
Overall, the 29 companies together contributed GH¢44,900,161.23 to the Authority.
The data has reignited debate over claims that KGL enjoys a monopoly within the NLA’s licensed operator ecosystem.
The report argues that the existence of 33 licensed collaborators, alongside lotto marketing companies and technical service providers, challenges suggestions that the sector is dominated by a single operator.
It further notes that most private operators function under long-term contracts ranging between 10 and 15 years.
Calls for Sector Reform
The report also highlights concerns about revenue disparities within the lottery industry, suggesting the need for structural reforms to improve efficiency and revenue generation.
It recommends a review of existing legal frameworks, including Act 722 and Legislative Instrument 1948, to strengthen regulatory oversight and improve returns to the state.
It further argues that broader reforms should extend beyond a single operator to address systemic challenges affecting the entire sector.
