Scientific Games Achieves iCAP Ready Accreditation

Scientific Games, a global leader in gaming technology, proudly announces its recent achievement of the iCAP Ready supplier accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). This significant recognition reflects the company's ongoing commitment to responsible gaming and consumer protection through its innovative iLottery platform.

What is iCAP Accreditation?

The Internet Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) is a notable accreditation that endorses best practices in online gambling player protection. It is held by a select few U.S. lotteries and suppliers, establishing a benchmark in the industry. For Scientific Games, receiving this accreditation signifies that the company meets the utmost standards for consumer safety and user satisfaction in the realm of online lottery play.

The Importance of Player Protection

The assessment carried out by independent experts in responsible gambling involved a thorough audit of Scientific Games' player protection processes and responsible gaming policies. The company not only showcased its technologies but also its commitment to nurturing a safe and enjoyable online gaming atmosphere for players. Jaime Costello, Director of Programs for NCPG, emphasized the importance of this accreditation, stating, "Scientific Games continues to demonstrate leadership in responsible gambling by earning the iCAP Ready accreditation. This accomplishment reflects a thoughtful and proactive approach to player protection."

Advanced Technological Features

Scientific Games’ digital platform is anchored in a sophisticated technological ecosystem that not only supports online lottery operations but also enhances player experiences. Central to this system is SG PAM, which manages player accounts and transactions seamlessly across both retail and digital platforms. Among the features of the iLottery program are robust responsible gaming tools and the company's Healthy Play program, designed to empower customers and promote healthy gaming habits.

Andrew Jackson, VP of Corporate Responsibility at Scientific Games, remarked, "We are honored to achieve this important iCAP supplier accreditation from NCPG. Our government-regulated lottery clients can take comfort in knowing that Scientific Games’ iLottery platform meets the highest U.S. standards for responsible gaming and player protection."

Global Reach and Commitment

Scientific Games currently provides iLottery solutions to over 30 lotteries across multiple countries, including the U.S., Canada, the UK, Denmark, Germany, France, and Turkey. The company’s Healthy Play program equips lotteries with the insights and tools necessary to improve player understanding—covering the mechanics of lottery games, the odds of winning, and ensuring minimum age compliance.

Since its establishment in 1972, NCPG has consistently led efforts in formulating policies and programs that address the needs of individuals affected by problem gambling, further underlining the importance of responsible gaming practices.

With an operational footprint spanning five continents, Scientific Games stands out not merely as a provider of retail and digital games but as a pioneer in technology and analytics for lotteries.
