IGT Achieves Milestone in Responsible Gaming with Recertification in Italy

IGT Achieves Remarkable Responsible Gaming Certification

International Game Technology PLC (IGT), a prominent name in the gaming industry, has proudly announced a significant achievement in responsible gaming. Its Italian subsidiary, IGT Lottery, has received the European Lotteries (EL) Responsible Gaming (RG) Certification for the sixth year in a row. This accomplishment emphasizes the company's dedication to sustainable gaming practices and player protection.

What makes this certification particularly impressive is that it comes alongside the World Lottery Association (WLA) Responsible Gaming Certification Level 4, the highest level attainable. This dual recognition is a testament to IGT Lottery's commitment to not just meeting but exceeding international gaming standards by implementing comprehensive responsible gaming practices.

The EL RG Certification was developed to establish guidelines that promote the integration of responsible gaming best practices among its member organizations. Importantly, the EL RG standards are designed to align with the WLA RG Principles and Framework. This harmony allows organizations that conform to the EL RG Standards to also easily achieve the highest certification level from the WLA. Marco Tasso, the Chief Operating Officer of IGT, highlighted the importance of this achievement, stating, "Achieving responsible gaming recertification by EL, along with the highest level of WLA certification, showcases our status as a true global leader in sustainability."

IGT Lottery’s RG program is supported by international best practices and is continuously updated to adapt to evolving standards. The program is built around three key pillars: promoting a positive gaming experience, preventing underage gambling, and offering support to players in need. Through initiatives and tools designed to elevate responsible gaming, IGT is steadfast in maintaining the integrity of its operations and the safety of its players.

The EL RG certification follows a detailed review of IGT Lottery’s responsible gaming measures in Italy. The certification process examined numerous aspects of the RG program, which resulted in the company achieving the highest possible score across ten critical areas, complying fully with the established international standards.

As part of its broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, IGT emphasizes that advancing responsibility in gaming is integral to its strategy and operational success. The company aims to deliver innovative gaming experiences while prioritizing the welfare of its customers, thereby fostering a safe gaming environment.
