Adrian Portelli Pleads Not Guilty to Unlawful Lottery Charges

The Melbourne businessman and his company face 19 charges related to unlicensed lotteries in South Australia and seek a swift trial.

Adrian Portelli, known for his high-profile giveaways and reality TV connections, is contesting nine charges of conducting unlawful lotteries in South Australia.
His company, Xclusive Tech Pty Ltd, which operates under LMCT+, faces an additional 10 charges for similar alleged offences.
The charges stem from allegations that the company conducted lotteries with prizes exceeding $5000 without the required South Australian licence.
Prizes included properties from the reality show The Block and cash alternatives, with one major prize offering $3 million or a Gisborne property.
Portelli's lawyer has requested a pre-trial conference, now scheduled for March 6, emphasizing their desire to expedite the legal process.
