International Game Technology PLC announced that its Italian subsidiary, IGT Lottery, obtained the European Lotteries (EL) Responsible Gaming (RG) Certification for the sixth consecutive time. Through an agreement between European Lotteries and the World Lottery Association (WLA), IGT Lottery has also obtained WLA Responsible Gaming Certification Level 4, the highest level available.

The EL RG Certification was developed to promote the adoption of RG best practices across EL membership organizations. The EL RG standards are also designed to be complementary to the WLA RG Principles and Framework, allowing companies that meet the implementation of the EL RG Standards to also achieve Level 4 certification of the WLA Framework.

“IGT Lottery achieving responsible gaming recertification by EL for the sixth consecutive time, paired with the highest level of WLA certification, showcases our status as a true global leader in sustainability. ‘Advancing Responsibility’ is vital to our success as a lottery company, and central to our sustainability strategy. We will continue to deliver innovation while operating with the highest level of integrity to protect our people, products and processes,” said Marco Tasso, IGT COO of Italian and International Sales and Operations.

IGT Lottery’s RG programme is guided by international best practices. Consistently updated to meet evolving standards, the programme operates on three macro guidelines: the promotion of a positive approach to gaming, the prevention of underage gambling and support for players who need it.

The EL RG certification was issued following an in-depth examination of IGT Lottery’s tools, activities and processes that comprise its RG programme in Italy. IGT Lottery was found to be fully in line with the international standards established by the EL, which require specific actions to protect players by the gaming operator, reaching a score of 100% for each of ten specified areas.
