Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Melquiades Robles announced that their 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 that the PCSO started the test run for e-lotto last December 16, 2023.

During the yearlong 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.

The PCSO general manager added that the main goal of e-lotto is to provide players convenience, security and 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 funds for their charity works.
