MANILA — Senator Koko Pimentel has urged the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to stop the pilot run of e-lotto.
This, Pimentel said, is to arrest possible risks in e-lotto and that should be anticipated.
“Pinapadali ba nito na mag-place ng multiple bets or posible ba na dahil sa computer system na ma-cover mo lahat ng combinations? Matayaan mo lahat ng combinations? Kasi pwede mong i-compute ‘yun eh, pwede ka na ring mag-risk doon,” the senator said.
“Kailangan maintindihan natin ito. Kaya ‘yan pilot testing nila, kung pwede ihinto na rin po ‘yan,” he added.
In December 2023, PCSO started the pilot run of e-lotto.
E-Lotto is a digital version of the traditional lottery games.
PCSO General Manager Mel Robles said that the pilot run of the game is a significant milestone for PCSO as people now embrace the digital era.
