Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Melquiades Robles announced daily revenue has almost doubled since the launch of e-lotto last year.
“I am happy to announce that we have doubled or almost doubled our daily revenues with the introduction of the e-lotto,” Robles said during a forum with members of the Capampangan in Media Inc. (CAMI) at the Royce Hotel in Clark Freeport.
E-lotto is a digital version of the traditional lottery game in the country.
According to Robles, it is a “significant milestone” for the PCSO, while embracing the digital era and catering to the evolving needs of their players.
It can be recalled the PCSO started the test run for e-lotto last December 16, 2023.
During the year-long dry run, the players can place their bets online. They can also receive their winnings electronically.
“With e-Lotto, players can now conveniently place bets, choose their lucky numbers, and win exciting cash prizes from the comfort of their own homes,” Robles explained.
Robles said the main goal of e-lotto it to provide players convenience, security, at transparency while betting.
They can access the e-lotto through the PCSO website, https://www.pcso.gov.ph/, by scanning the provided QR code and completing the registration process.
It is expected that this year, the e-lotto apps will be available for download via Google Play and iOS platforms.
Earlier, Robles said that once fully available, e-lotto would help double the PCSOs revenues, which will also mean additional fund for their charity works.
