A WLA-approved appraiser, EY, conducted the evaluation of IGT's lottery operations to determine WLA recertification. EY prepared an independent auditor's report on IGT's alignment with the eight sections of the WLA standards, including research, employee programs, product and service development, remote gaming environment, advertising and marketing communications, customer awareness, stakeholder engagement and reporting.

IGT continues to reinforce its Responsible Gaming commitment by adhering to eight Responsible Gaming Guidelines adopted worldwide; Working with its Responsible Gaming Advisory Group; Introducing customized e-learning courses for employees on responsible gaming and problem gambling; publicly publish its company-wide responsible gaming policy; and continually updating and following its global code of conduct for advertising and marketing communications.
