Update: Online Lottery Remains on Hold in Thailand

Government lottery official: We're still awaiting the government’s green light

Despite being on hold due to political mishmash and certain concerns regarding its impact, it appears that the proposed online national lottery system for Thailand will remain at a standstill, as little progress on the political front has been made.

It could be heard this week from the new chief of the Government Lottery Office, former police officer Attakit Tharichat, that nothing is likely to happen until 2013 pending the much desired approval of the national government, which now depends on the Pheu Tha administration.

He also specified that the organization is ready to resume the online lottery project if the government approval is reached, since the contract with Loxley GTech Technology for the online lottery project, remains valid.
