The Sports Administration recently held a raffle to issue four million stimulus vouchers for sporting activities, and notified the winners via text message or email. Winners were supposed to be able to collect the vouchers starting at 10 a.m. today, but an announcement to postpone the date to Aug. 6. The validity period was also extended.
We wanted to give residents and businesses a better and smoother voucher usage experience, so that's why we decided on a postponement of one week after discussions. The validity period was also extended to Jan. 31, 2021.
The Sports Administration said it made the decision because it wanted to give users a more convenient experience, as well as expand the consumption scope and give businesses more time to join the program. The vouchers will now be available to collect on Aug. 6, and can be used starting on Aug. 8. With regards to where the vouchers can be used, the Administration said they can be used in any place that can be categorized under one of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' 12 sports industry business categories.
