Commissioner Emmanuel Siisi Quainoo has emphasised during a recent meeting that the body is aiming to tackle the level of gambling venues in areas that could see an increased impact on the most vulnerable corners of society.
The framework is set to be around zoning rules and the enforcing of gambling compliance as the sector continues to grow in terms of engagement.
Quainoo stated: “As part of our mandate, gaming operators are prohibited from establishing facilities near schools and religious institutions. If an applicant’s proposed location is too close to these areas, we will not grant a license. Our goal is to prevent school children from being drawn into gambling at the expense of their education… We will take firm action against illegal gambling operators and ensure strict enforcement of the law.”
