International Game Technology (IGT) has once again solidified its position as a global leader in responsible gaming, as its Italian subsidiary, IGT Lottery, has received the European Lotteries (EL) Responsible Gaming Certification for the sixth consecutive time. This certification reaffirms IGT Lottery’s commitment to player protection, underage gambling prevention, and responsible gaming practices.

Further strengthening its responsible gaming credentials, IGT Lottery has also been awarded the prestigious Level 4 certification from the World Lottery Association (WLA). This is the highest possible certification within the WLA Responsible Gaming Framework and highlights IGT’s efforts to uphold the strictest international gaming standards.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Certification Process

The renewal of the EL Responsible Gaming Certification followed an extensive evaluation of IGT Lottery’s responsible gaming policies, tools, and initiatives in Italy. The certification process assessed compliance across ten key areas, including:

• Player protection measures
• Programs to prevent problem gambling
• Adherence to international regulatory standards

IGT Lottery achieved a 100% score across all assessed areas, demonstrating its strong commitment to responsible gaming and player safety.

Additionally, the WLA Level 4 certification, obtained through an agreement between EL and WLA, aligns IGT Lottery with the most stringent global responsible gaming principles. The WLA certification framework complements EL standards, ensuring that certified companies meet comprehensive responsible gaming guidelines.

Commitment to Sustainability and Responsible Gaming Practices

According to Marco Tasso, IGT COO, Italian and International Sales and Operations, these certifications reaffirm the company’s commitment to responsible gaming and sustainability:

“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.
