Camelot Lottery Solutions has announced that it has been accredited as a certified Responsible Gaming Supplier by the World Lottery Association (WLA) after achieving alignment with the WLA Responsible Gaming standards for associate members.

The certification sees Camelot recognised for putting player safety at the core of its operations, with the organisation as a result becoming one of a handful of suppliers in the industry to achieve alignment with the rigorous standard since the 2015 certification inception.

The WLA Responsible Gaming Standard is made up of eight areas, including employee program, product and service development, research, advertising and marketing communications, remote gaming environment, client awareness, stakeholder engagement, and reporting.

Wayne Pickup, CEO of Camelot Lottery Solutions, commented: “Player safety is the starting point for any product or solution we design, build, and deploy, and we’re proud that our products and services operate in some of the strictest regulatory environments in the global lottery ecosystem.

“We believe that lotteries grow best, and communities benefit most, when players are responsibly engaged. I’m delighted that Camelot Lottery Solutions has been recognised as a certified Responsible Gaming Supplier by the WLA.”

Regarding the third party appraisal of Camelot’s RG programme, this was performed by Corporate Citizenship, a WLA-approved assessor that provided an unbiased assessment of the company’s operations and completed a Statement of Alignment reflecting compliance with WLA Responsible Gaming Standards for Associate Members.

Camelot’s Responsible Gaming Certification award is now valid until June 2023, at which point the organisation will see recertification to WLA Standard.
