Gaming Board Takes Over Oversight As Ithuba Uganda Lottery Operations Cease
The story
The National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board (NLGRB) has confirmed that it is actively managing the cessation of National Lottery operations by ITHUBA Uganda Limited under its statutory mandate and existing regulatory framework.
According to NLGRB, it has been engaging the operator over its financial and operational position, culminating in a formal notification that ITHUBA Uganda Limited ceased offering National Lottery games on 30 June 2026 and officially stopped trading on 1 July 2026.
Details
NLGRB emphasized that the cessation of operations does not exempt the operator from its legal and contractual obligations under the National Lottery Licence and Concession Agreement.
“The operator’s cessation of operations does not relieve ITHUBA Uganda Limited of its obligations under the law, the National Lottery Licence, or the Concession Agreement,” the Board stated.
The regulator noted that it is implementing oversight measures to ensure protection of all stakeholders, including government, players, prize claimants, retailers, and employees affected by the shutdown.
NLGRB said it is currently coordinating with relevant institutions and the operator to ensure an orderly and legally compliant transition process.
“All outstanding matters relating to player balances, prize claims, records, operational liabilities, and other obligations remain under regulatory supervision and the applicable legal process,” the Board said.
Players with pending claims or balances have been advised to contact ITHUBA Uganda Limited through its official channels.
