Prime Minister Edi Rama will bring back the sports lotteries, which the government closed by law 4 years ago.
Rama will organize the public consultation for online sports lotteries today at 10:00. Present will be the President of the Albanian Olympic Committee, Fidel Ylli, who has been in favor of reopening and was even among the first to put this idea for consultation, as well as representatives of the Olympic Federation, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education and the Council of High of Sports.
The proposal for the return of betting is from the Albanian Olympic Federation to formalize a market, for which it is stated that after the entry into force of the law prohibiting it on January 1, 2019, it has flourished as an informal market.
According to the proponents of this initiative, the formalization of online betting could channel the taxes of these enterprises for investments in sports.
