Vodafone Ghana has suspended its recently-launched More Money game after National Lotteries Authority (NLA) filed a suit in court to put an injunction on Vodafone from carrying on with the game because it was a lottery.Head of Corporate Communications at Vodafone Ghana, Carmen Bruce Annan told Adom News Vodafone launched the More Money promotion to reward its loyal customers but the company was committed to doing so in compliance with the regulations and laws of the land.Vodafone is to appear in court on Thursday, August 11, 2011 to answer charges of organizing a lottery, which contravened the Section 4 (1) of the National Lotto Act, Act 722, 2006, which prohibited any organization from organizing lottery apart from NLA.Carmen Bruce Annan said “we hope this matter will be resolved in a few days but up until then More Money can’t take place...More Money cannot take place”Vodafone has therefore pulled out all adverts on “More Money” but the billboards still stand.The NLA also sued the Gaming Commission of Ghana for granting Vodafone the permit to organize a lottery; so the NLA is asking the court to prevent the commission from issuing such permits because it needed a Board to issue permits and it did not have one.But the Gaming Commission had said that under the Gaming Act, Act 721, 2006, Vodafone’s More Money game was not a lottery but a game of chance, which fell under the mandate of the Gaming Commission.The Gaming Commission insisted the Gaming Act mandated it to regulate, monitor, supervise and control all games of chance in the country except lotto, so it would be in court to defend its position and mandate, as well as make representation to support the legitimacy of Vodafone’s More Money promotion.Meanwhile, the NLA is pulling out of a similar case against Tigo and the Gaming Commission, but the Commission said it would insist on the court determining that case to set a precedent for the Vodafone case and other similar ones in the future.
