A renegotiated agreement between Ghana’s National Lottery Authority and KGL Technology is expected to generate a guaranteed GH\u00a2550m in government revenue in 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ghana.- A renegotiated agreement between Ghana’s National Lottery Authority (NLA) and KGL Technology is expected to generate a guaranteed GH\u00a2550m (US$53.4m) in government revenue in 2027 <\/strong>under a new revenue-sharing model, marking one of the most significant changes to the country’s lottery revenue-sharing framework in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report published by the state-owned Ghana News Agency (GNA), a committee established by President John Mahama<\/strong> renegotiated the agreement to increase government revenue from the lottery sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revised agreement introduces a 50-50 Gross Gaming Income (GGI) revenue-sharing model between the NLA and KGL Technology, guaranteeing GH\u00a2550m in revenue for the 2027 financial year. Government earnings are expected to increase further from 2028 as lottery revenues grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report added that the review committee recommended extending the 50-50 GGI revenue-sharing model across Ghana’s wider lottery industry to maximise returns<\/strong> for the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This follows months of scrutiny over the NLA-KGL partnership. In April, Ghana’s Presidency recommended renegotiating the agreement to improve returns<\/a> for the state after confirming its legality. On July 21, the NLA announced the end-of-July deadline to phase out paper-based lottery staking as part of its nationwide digitalisation drive<\/a>, which includes the rollout of modern electronic point-of-sale (POS) terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If implemented, the GH\u00a2550m revenue guarantee would represent the first publicly reported financial outcome of the Presidency’s review of the NLA-KGL agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n
