“WLA’s recertification of IGT’s lottery and iLottery operations validates our responsible gaming industry leadership and our ongoing commitment to providing our lottery customers worldwide with effective responsible gaming technologies,” said Wendy Montgomery, IGT SVP, Marketing, Communications and Sustainability. “Advancing Responsibility is a key pillar in IGT’s Sustainable Play program and serves as a guiding principle for everything we do. We operate with the highest level of integrity to protect our people, products and processes, and this certification endorses those efforts.”
To determine IGT’s WLA recertification, WLA-approved assessor Gambling Integrity Services conducted a thorough assessment into IGT’s lottery operations that culminated in an independent auditor’s report on IGT’s alignment with the eight sections of the WLA standards. These standards include research, employee programs, product and service development, remote gaming environment, advertising and marketing communications, client awareness, stakeholder engagement and reporting.
