Guyana Lottery Company launches sport betting initiative

After introducing many ways to make a buck to Guyanese patrons, the Guyana Lottery Company has now stepped into the arena of sport betting with their new Let’s Bet Brand.
Although the Let’s Bet Sports Brand was officially launched Thursday evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, the service is said to have been up and running since February, 1.
The betting system will be available at over 200 Guyana Lottery Company agents, as disclosed by General Manager Tracey Lewis, who took her time at the podium to detail the contributions that the Lottery Company has made to Guyana.
“We have paid millions in prizes; we always have the best one-of-a kind

promotions; we have given millions in sponsorship and donations and what is important to note is that every ticket you buy benefits our country. And today that figure stands at over $7 billion that we have raised for Guyana, towards social causes, youth, sport and culture,” Lewis revealed.
The betting will take two forms – pre-match and virtual. The pre-match betting will offer sports such as cricket, football, basketball, tennis and baseball among others, while the virtual betting will feature three-minute virtual games where patrons can bet on the spot.
Expectantly, the Lottery Company is facilitating a launching promotion that was explained by Marketing Coordinator Donielle Barnes.
“We have a fantastic promotion, whereby with every purchase of a Let’s Bet ticket to the value of $1000 you will receive a coupon, you just need to complete the details and drop it in a box at your Let’s Bet sport agents for a chance to win an authentic NBA jersey,” Barnes explained.
Furthermore, one of two brand ambassadors, Ian D Barros encouraged sports fans to get behind the Lottery Company’s new initiative.
“We are the sport betting company of Guyana, every ticket benefits our country. So go out there, support Guyana, get your Let’s Bet ticket and be part of the game,” De Barros encouraged.
Local sport journalist Rawle Toney is the second Let’s Bet brand ambassador.
