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 to and implementation of responsible gaming standards. Each level signifies a deeper dedication to player protection, ethical gaming practices, and social responsibility.

Achieving WLA Certification Levels

Requirements: Organisations must demonstrate the integration of responsible gaming principles into their daily operations. This includes staff training, effective communication of responsible gaming policies, and the implementation of player protection measures.
Process: The process involves a detailed self-assessment, followed by submission of documented evidence to the WLA for review.

Level 3: Establishing and Implementing a Comprehensive Responsible Gaming Programme

Requirements: This level requires the development and implementation of a comprehensive responsible gaming programme. It demands a more rigorous assessment of the effectiveness of responsible gaming policies and their impact on players.
Process: Organisations must undergo a thorough internal review and submit to WLA through digitalRG.com.

Level 4: Achieving Best Practice and Continuous Improvement

Requirements: The highest certification level demands adherence to global best practices in responsible gaming. Organisations must demonstrate continuous improvement and innovation in their responsible gaming initiatives.
