Scientific Games has once again secured certification under the World Lottery Association (WLA)’s Responsible Gaming Framework, reaffirming its commitment to ethical gaming practices. The company initially earned this certification in 2015, becoming one of the first lottery providers to meet WLA’s standards.
The latest re-certification applies to Scientific Games’ global operations and technology. CEO Pat McHugh highlighted the company’s continued focus on responsible gaming, saying, “Scientific Games celebrates our WLA global re-certification as it re-affirms our steadfast commitment to responsible gaming innovation and ethical business practice across our operations and technology.”
Scientific Games plans to further develop its Healthy Play program, which provides lotteries with tools and best practices to enhance responsible gaming efforts. The company aims to strengthen public trust by improving lottery literacy and promoting ethical gaming.
The WLA framework evaluates multiple aspects of responsible gaming, including research, employee training, product development, marketing, and remote wagering channels like iLottery. It also reviews how companies engage with stakeholders and communicate responsible gaming practices.
Mélissa Azam, WLA’s Senior Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, praised Scientific Games for its efforts, stating, “We commend Scientific Games for unwavering dedication to responsible gaming continuous improvement through a commitment to education and awareness programs for operators and players, as well as ongoing and meaningful stakeholder engagement.” She also noted the company’s ability to integrate responsible gaming tools into online platforms, demonstrating a strong focus on harm minimization.
