The Government of the Republic of North Macedonia has given instructions to suspend the activities of the companies established in 2024 by the state monopoly – North Macedonian Lottery, in accordance with the local legislation for organizing online betting

The Government of the Republic of North Macedonia has issued instructions for the termination of the activities of the three companies – online gambling organizers (including “State Lottery – 77 BITS” DOO Bitola), which acquired the right to operate in the country last year after a duly won tender organized by the State Lottery of the country. This happened as a result of a new misinterpretation of the current legislation by the newly elected North Macedonian Parliament.

Thus, the activities of all three companies, in which the State Lottery has a 51% stake, have been temporarily suspended until the legal case is resolved.

Telematic Interactive Bulgaria AD owns 50% of the capital of 77 BITS BSC DOO Bitola, RSM, which in turn a few months ago launched an operation with the company State Lottery – 77 BITS DOO Bitola (organizer of online gambling), in which it has a 51% state participation.
