Introduction to WLA Certifications
The World Lottery Association (WLA) Certifications for
responsible gaming are a globally recognised series of
accreditations, designed to benchmark and improve the responsible
gaming practices of lottery organisations. Levels 2, 3, and 4 of
these certifications represent advanced stages of commitment and
implementation of responsible gaming standards. Each level
signifies a deeper dedication towards player protection, ethical
gaming practices, and social responsibility.
Achieving WLA Certification Levels

Level 3: Establishing and Implementing a Comprehensive Responsible Gaming Program
