Scientific Games Receives Responsible Gaming Framework Certificate of Alignment

The iGaming industry has become increasingly popular. With more and more people showing an interest, there comes an increased potential for gambling addiction. To deter the overuse of this type of entertainment, companies promote “healthy gaming” as a preventative measure.

One of the companies that has successfully completed its task is Scientific Games, which has been awarded the World Lottery Association’s (WLA) Responsible Gaming Framework Certificate of Alignment.

For the company to receive such a certificate, a group of experts working under the auspices of the World Lottery Association, carefully reviews the work of the company, including retail as well as digital offers. Only after a detailed review, the WLA may reward the company.

Taking Necessary Measures

Scientific Games launched its Healthy Play program in 2020. This program aims to provide players with education and maintain a healthy gambling experience. This program was followed by the launch of the Healthy Play Guide. However, in 2022, the supplier will provide punters with access to the Healthy Play website.

Great Honor for the Company

Carla Schaefer, VP of Responsible Gaming for Scientific Games Lottery, is evidently proud of this award: “Scientific Games is honored to receive WLA’s Responsible Gaming Certification, which recognizes our ongoing commitment to Healthy Play across our global lottery organization. We want to give our lottery customers tools and best practices to help them market their products in healthy and responsible ways. Our Healthy Play program helps lotteries educate their players, establish trust and increase lottery literacy.”

Scientific received its first certificate in responsible gambling in 2015, also from the World Lottery Association. But we must note that the company is partly responsible for the emergence of WLA certification.

It is very nice to see that several brands are forcing responsible gaming. Namely, at the beginning of this year, the well-known regulator Svenska Spel launched its new responsible gaming campaign. The motto of this event is “Together we have game control.” The goal of the campaign is to show players how to make good decisions when it comes to gambling, but also when it’s time to stop.

And to be responsible.
