The NLC may revoke the certificate of a lottery manager on grounds similar to those for refusing an application.
These are set out in section 51 of the Lotteries Act and are as follows:
Once the Commission is satisfied that grounds exist to revoke a certificate, it must contact the certificate holder and provide an opportunity for him or her to provide reasons why the certificate should not be revoked.
If the NLC receives reasons within the stipulated seven-day period, it is bound to consider these reasons.
If the Commission finds there are still valid reasons for revoking the certificate or if the certificate holder fails to use the opportunity to present his or her case, the NLC shall revoke the certificate. The Commission shall inform the certificate holder of the reasons for this measure and shall also inform all societies for which the lottery manager has worked of the fact that the certificate has been revoked and the reasons for this.
