  "summary": "The Lagos State government has issued a public notice requiring gaming operators that have offered lottery, betting, or gaming services within the state through telecommunications or VAS channels to account for and remit all gaming taxes, statutory levies, and other fiscal obligations due for the period from 22 November 2024 to the date of this Notice. Affected operators are given thirty (30) days to regularize their licensing status and settle all assessed arrears. MNOs, VAS aggregators, and VAS providers are also required to verify the licensing and gaming-tax compliance status of every gaming operator utilizing their platforms, provide transaction, carrier-billing, and revenue-share records for the Arrears Period, cease onboarding any gaming operator without a valid license, and suspend facilitation of any existing gaming service not licensed or authorized. Failure to comply may result in regulatory and enforcement measures being taken against the non-compliant parties.",
