Malaysia’s Number Forecast Operators Close Outlets in MCO Areas

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Malaysia’s number forecast operators (NFOs) have closed their outlets once again due to an increase in Covid-19 cases and new restrictions implemented by the Malaysian government.

Sports Toto Malaysia Sdn, Magnum Bhd and Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn have shut betting outlets in areas affected by the government’s movement control orders (MCO).

The orders affect the states Penang, Selangor, Melaka, Johor and Sabah, as well as the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. Outlets will remain closed until at least January 26. Business in other regions will continue as normal.

Sports Toto and Magnum said draws will proceed as usual. Sports Toto has encouraged customers to buy advance draw tickets or buy tickets on non-draw days to reduce physical contact at its outlets.

Only one company, Da Ma Cai, announced the suspension of its draw and said refunds will be made upon production of original tickets when its betting shops resume operations in MCO areas or via its mobile app.
